@AssociatedPress reports: "The choreographed demolition underlines North Korea’s growing anger against South Korea’s conservative government. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to sever relations with South Korea and abandon the goal of achieving peaceful Korean unification."

People who think homosexuality was invented in the 20th century by white people can feel free to contemplate my writeup on 1,000 years of recorded homosexuality in premodern #Korea . https://ljwrites.blog/posts/queer-premodern-korea/ And a lot of these records are by people who did not even remotely like what they were reporting.

My 13th-century ancestor Yi Gyubo, on the other hand, celebrated the hell out of his learned monk friend's romantic relationship with a young man because dude was cool that way. Neither he nor contemporary record-keepers found the idea of dudes in love with dudes anachronistic or irrelevant, I guess no one gave them the memo that gay people weren't supposed to exist yet. #QueerHistory #history #LjBlogs

The Central Intelligence Agency in the U.S. has started posting online instructions in Farsi, Mandarin and Korean to allow people in authoritarian regimes to safely share information with the agency. One of the posts says a similar effort in Russian in 2023 was effective, and CIA Director William Burns has said Russia’s war in Ukraine has created a “once in a lifetime” opportunity for recruitment.
