She is really good! It's funny that her hands are actually in the same position they would be if she were sitting normally at a piano. I wonder how hard that is to do. It certainly looks very difficult. I am going to try that today.

Two lawmakers representing both sides of the aisle called on the Director of National Intelligence to conduct an assessment of the "national security risks" posed by the wildly-popular, Chinese-owned app TikTok.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, sent a joint letter to acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire requesting the Intelligence Community conduct a security assessment of TikTok and other Chinese-owned content platforms in the U.S. and then present their findings to Congress.

To get Billy Joel's attention she should try this.

Scott Adams had a suspicion that Tik-Tok might be unfollowing people he was following on twitter. Apparently part of the installation asks you to allow the app to manage media, or some such thing. The details escape me at this point but it was discussed on one of his periscopes when he was trying to figure out what was going on with twitter.

I am both impressed, and maybe a little infatuated.

They took away your right to vote with the Kung Flu. (By making you too fearful to vote.)

And you are still using their TikTok spyware.

Why, Ann?

It would be a lot harder to have the hands in a reversed position and need to work out how to play it!

You can use TikTok without signing up or checking anything agreeing to whatever. But I did not create an account.

Scott Adams sometimes wafts theories, especially things having to do with his inability to produce a satisfying income stream.

So all that Dilbert crap he's foisted upon the world isn't paying the bills anymore?

In the recent months, Check Point Research teams discovered multiple vulnerabilities within the TikTok application. The vulnerabilities described in this research allow attackers to do the following:

* Get a hold of TikTok accounts and manipulate their content
* Delete videos
* Upload unauthorized videos
* Make private “hidden” videos public
* Reveal personal information saved on the account such as private email addresses

I think he’s into hitting it big, beyond the Dilbert type wealth.

How many times have you heard him go on about WhenHub and cryptocurrency?

I think he also cares about self expression and sheer prominence and admiration.

Clearly Dilbert isn’t enough for him.

True, true, but it's not like he is the NY Times or The New Yorker. Sometimes he is interesting.
