Yes, if Australia can do it, so can we. It's so overdue to opt out of the algorithms, an easy fix for the some of the ills of social media.... like putting us in political silos....

These stories about the #USSLIncoln reminds me of #NorthKorea. The late Kim Jong Il was the biggest foodie in Asia. He flew in sushi from Tokyo, cheese from France, caviar from Iran. His soldiers were starving. An interview I did with The New Yorker. newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

Good piece here about the Dalai Lama. When I interviewed him, he had a funny line. "If the Chinese believe in reincarnation, they should reincarnate Mao."

Deep admiration for @BarbaraDemick and the Chinese novelist Fang Fang, winners of the @AsiaSociety @chinabksreview Baifang Schell Book Prize. A great event tonight in NY. Fang Fang, whose books are banned in the PRC, was not able to leave China to accept her award.

Is Jeff Bezos deliberately sabotaging the Washington Post? I can understand reining in critical coverage of Trump, of course he's scared, but he could have preserved his dignity and the newspaper by funding sports and foreign.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Please, we need the Washington Post's foreign correspondents. And despite all, I never cancelled my subscription. And advised others not to as well.
