I love this film... Incredible acting, visually stunning and tight, evolving story-telling that never rests. Oh, and entertaining as hell. Made me want to pack my bag and head to Senegal to find stories that matter.

Thai-Cambodia clash through a US vs China lens - Asia Times BANGKOK – A deadly border feud between Thailand's US-trained military and Cambodia's Chinese-assisted troops has resulted in a surprise agreement with

Excellent reporting on the #Thailand #Cambodia border fracas by Richard S. Ehrlich.

“Both governments have facilitated assaults, abductions, enforced disappearances, and the forced return of people to their home countries where their lives or freedom are at risk,” the rights group said in April.

Poster for Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959). Below the title and main cast Mount Rushmore is against a yellow background. In the foreground is Cary Grant’s Roger Thornhill being menaced by a crop duster bi-plane. Beneath this image are three others - Grant and Eva Marie Saint in red, Grant holding the body of the assassinated George Kaplan, and Hitchcock himself, carrying a huge pointing hand model or sign under his arm.

JW: stunningly beautiful VistaVision 4K of North by Northwest (1959).Top tier Hitchcock, witty Ernest Lehman script, great cast: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and Martin Landau, one of Herrmann’s best scores, classic ‘crop duster’ ‘Mount Rushmore’ set pieces. Hugely entertaining. #Filmsky

Girl, 6, among group arrested for assassination of Myanmar general Lin Latt Shwe, 6, was detained along with her mother and other suspects in the killing of retired general in Yangon.

In #Myanmar, 6 year old alleged assassins are arrested. In the #USA, 4 year olds with cancer are deported. Myanmar is one of the most dictatorial and murderous regimes on the planet. Trump's America attempts to match Burmese terror. How much lower will the USA fall? I'm not taking bets. #decline

Basavaraju killing: Is India finally winning the decades-long war against Maoist insurgency? The Maoist insurgency has claimed nearly 12,000 lives in India since 2000.

The idea that #India's government can vanquish the #Maoist movement while exploiting, displacing and killing tribal people in resource rich areas, is optimistic. As such, this BBC article is weighted against the have-nots and lacks focus on the extreme violence meted out by the BJP government.

Absolutely stunning retrospective of photographer Gerhard Joren at Chaloemla Art House in Bangkok this week. Three floors of the shocking and sublime, from Mike Tyson to Filipino executioners, a sex commune and plenty from North Korea. Go & marvel.

The best book I edited last year, Brian Gruber's incisive and very personal look at European fascism, then and now, was meant to serve as a warning against the re-election of Trump. Alas, here we are. Read it and weep.

Poor things ….must watch!

Scientists issue warning after observing alarming shift in great white sharks: 'We saw things happen that we'd never expect' For years, South Africa's Seal Island was a bucket-list destination for wildlife lovers hoping to witness the breathtaking power of great white sharks.

Kill the sharks, we will kill everything.
