I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

The breadth of China's reported cyber surveillance effort labeled Salt Typhoon is remarkable.
I'm surprised more accounts don't make the natural comparison with the Snowden revelations. A highly capable cyber-spying state with a portfolio of intrusions and targets.

More dry and lacerating wit from VW Sept 1919. It's the way she tells them. Mrs Humphrey Ward, grand daughter of Sir Walter Raleigh was a bit of a bete-noir and general pain in the butt to VW. Always turning up uninvited. Marcella was her fourth novel. That final sentence. Worthy of Shakespeare.
