@susanorlean Wishing you a glorious new year--happy, happy!

Hooray when a lovely friend from those youthful, fun New Yorker days reviews a book I am publicizing now.

[Virginia Heffernan @page88]

I reviewed Chris Miller's non-fiction thriller abt semiconductors today. Find the engineering boring? You do you but silicon chips are only the nexus of the global economy & all of geopolitics.

@joshuachuminski @diplocourier Can't wait to see it! [email protected]

One of the books I am publicizing now! It was in the FT yesterday too with a glowing review. Michael Beckley and Hal Brands are two of the smartest experts on China. (And it reads like a thriller.)

[Joshua Huminski @joshuachuminski]

Snagged a copy of @HalBrands & Michael Beckley’s “Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China” from my local bookshop. Out now from @wwnorton. Added to this weekend’s queue along with @TheEconomist, of course. @ftweekend joins tomorrow morning.

BREAKING — John Allen has resigned as CEO of the Brookings Institution after the think tank placed him on leave amid an FBI probe into his involvement in an illegal lobbying campaign for Qatar.

A very interesting article on a remarkable writer.

What I was struck by most as the terrible Jan 6th events unfolded, was how determined the mob of men were to get #NancyPelosi & those photos of that shaggy loser sitting in @SpeakerPelosi 's chair with his feet up on her desk. @jdawsey1 @MaraGay

Very excited about the first Virtual Sundance Festival!

As tomorrow approaches and I prepare to take on the role of @SecondGentleman, I have a growing sense of responsibility. But I know we wouldn't be here without the support of so many—family, friends, and beyond.

Thank you for being in our corner as we take on this next chapter.

@arbitrix Best discovery! Wow...

[Melissa Pranger @PrangerMc]

Love that Malcolm brought out the Bible on this one! Having worked with Jeff, I find the whole thing quite sad. And for the record, I never saw him act pervy and we were often in The New Yorker offices late at night on deadline.

[Tom Gara @tomgara]

The big Toobin article is a fairly moderate, restrained affair, but does feature an amazing late-in-the-third-act cameo by Malcolm Gladwell https://t.co/amSH0z6ylc

@MollyJongFast @marklevinshow He really needs to take off his Cap Lock crazy socks and calmly re-read Amendment XII of Article II. He's, um, referring to the electoral college which I believe we are familiar with...and he is wrong about here.

[Nobody @Diane_23]

Let’s go get this one

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

This from @peterbakernyt and @maggieNYT is an unbelievable, completely believable must-read. It also reads more like everything that I researched about Garfield and Cleveland and Wilson’s illnesses than any modern-era situation (except maybe Reagan). https://t.co/wgVhCex5My
