I had approached filing the end-of-week news with the kind of trepidation that seems to come around on a regular cycle—a cycle that lasts as long as the latest TikTok ban deadline. But sure enough, as I sat down to write, the news came through that will be music to my editor’s ears. No last-minute rush (on this, at least). Sure enough, the deadline for the sale of TikTok’s operations in the United States has been extended by another ninety days and will not come into force this week. The third such extension this year, apparently, this time it really will lead to the closing of a deal to see TikTok in the U.S. into new, non-Chinese ownership. I fully anticipate reporting the same come September.

What a beautiful cover from Zoe!
Thanks again for this excellent conference. Life got in the way this weekend so I was only able to catch one session so far and only the closing live! But I will be watching them over the next few days as they are always filled with practical advice. I may even have enough money to join Alli this summer!
