A ban of the Chinese social-media app TikTok, first floated by the Trump Administration, is now gaining real traction in Washington.

Lawmakers of both parties fear the app could be manipulated by Chinese authorities to gain insight into American users and become an effective tool for propaganda against the United States. “Tiktok arrived in Americans’ lives in about 2018 . . . and in some ways it coincided with the same period of collapse in the U.S.-China relationship,” the staff writer Evan Osnos tells David Remnick.

“If you’re a member of Congress, you look at TikTok and you say, ‘This is the clearest emblem of my concern about China, and this is something I can talk about and touch.’ ” Remnick also talks with the journalist Chris Stokel-Walker—who has written extensively about TikTok and argued against a ban—regarding the global political backlash against the app. “I think we should be suspicious of all social media, but I don’t think that TikTok is the attack vector that we think it is,” he says. “This is exactly the same as any other platform.”

Dolly Parton “Busted a Gut” Reaching for the High Notes on “Rockstar”

The country legend finds freedom in her first venture into rock.

"After six decades as an icon in country music, it’s hard to imagine Dolly Parton had anything to prove. But when she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in 2022, she admitted to feeling uneasy. A result of that feeling is “Rockstar,” the seventy-seven-year-old’s first foray into rock music. “I wanted the rock people to be proud of me, let’s put it that way,” Parton tells the New Yorker contributor Emily Lordi. “I wanted them to say, ‘Did you hear Dolly’s rock album? Man, she killed it.’ ”

Evan Osnos on Joe Biden's last campaign

For decades, there was a lightness about Joe Biden — a springy, mischievous energy that was hard not to like, even if it allowed some people to classify him as a lightweight. For better and worse, he is a more solemn figure now. His voice is thin and clotted, and his gestures have slowed, but, in our conversation, his mind seemed unchanged. He never bungled a name or a date. — Evan Osnos: Joe…

To work in the industry, staff must adhere to the culture of secrecy, often enforced by N.D.A.s. On one yacht, O'Shannassy, the captain, learned to communicate in code with the helicopter pilot who regularly flew the owner from Switzerland to the Mediterranean. Before takeoff, the pilot would call with a cryptic report on whether the party included the presence of a Pomeranian. If any guest happened to overhear, their cover story was that a customs declaration required details about pets. In fact, the lapdog was a constant companion of the owner's wife; if the Pomeranian was in the helicopter, so was she. 'If no dog was in the helicopter,' O'Shannassy recalled, the owner was bringing 'somebody else.' It was the captain's duty to rebroadcast the news across the yacht's internal radio: 'Helicopter launched, no dog, I repeat no dog today'—the signal for the crew to ready the main cabin for the mistress, instead of the wife. They swapped out dresses, family photos, bathroom supplies, favored drinks in the fridge. On one occasion, the code got garbled, and the helicopter landed with an unanticipated Pomeranian. Afterward, the owner summoned O'Shannassy and said, 'Brendan, I hope you never have such a situation, but if you do I recommend making sure the correct dresses are hanging when your wife comes into your room.'

So, Tom Friedman, just not ignoring the "Communist" in "Chinese Communist Party".

In other words, you'll never see us coming, because we'll bury you in an avalanche of lies about "freedom".

Joe Biden: American Dreamer by Evan Osnos- book review

Joe Biden has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest—fortunate to have sustained a fifty-year political career that reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses and disappointments that he has suffered.

Joe Biden: American Dreamer' (Bloomsbury) is adapted from an occasional series of articles published by The New Yorker between 2011 and 2020. The author Evan Osnos had conducted four interviews with Biden and more than a hundred people in his political orbits.

The book is a concise and highlighted of Biden’s political road to presidency.  Many of the quotes I like. Some of them are listed below:

“Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up in unforgivable.”

My favour from Biden’s wife when he asked her “How am I going to handle this?” as the No2. ��to support Obama for vice presidential consideration in 2007. She said’ Grow Up”.

His comment to the author “Listen, buddy, you call me a nice old man and one more time and I will personally come down there and kick your ass’.

In the presidential race 2020, Biden commented about Trump, “the more he talked, the better off I am”. When people say to him, “Well, what are you going to do if you get elected?” Biden said, ‘ It depends on what the hell I’m left with. Not a joke. I’m not being a wise guy. Thing could get a lot worse.’.

The one really impressed me was during Biden’s visiting Putin at the Kremlin 2011. He said to Putin’ Mr. Prime Minister, I’m looking into your eyes, and I don’t think you have a soul’.

how to get politically savvy in a few easy steps
