Touching piece from @hellokoyu on the Singaporean who beat Phelps — and the ways his sport, his country let him down. "[Schooling’s] experience is an example of how fragile being at the top can be, and how fickle people’s grace can become.” time.com/7011677/life-after-…

Seething a few days ago about the notion that #Thailand was having a Senate “election”, I spoke to @TIME. I come off quite blunt, but it’s well justified. Thanks to @hellokoyu for reaching out. 🙏🏼 time.com/6993473/thailand-20…

Last July, international outcry began growing around Cambodia’s scam industry. A year on, we’re still waiting for a similar moment with Myanmar, where scam parks are thriving. @amendelson_ and I spoke with experts and survivors—we heard some unimaginably brutal accounts 1/11

While everyone is talking about what #HereLiesLove does, we dig deep into Imelda Marcos' history of image-making, and how extended fascination of her can actually make it difficult to hold her accountable for her wrongdoings. Here is my latest for TIME: time.com/6298212/here-lies-l…
