China's new ethnic unity law comes into effect

Beijing's new ethnic unity law strengthens Mandarin's position as the primary language of education, official business and public spaces across China. The government says the law's provisions on social cohesion and preventing separatism benefit everyone. But minority activists abroad say it will further erode the rights of groups such as Uighurs and Tibetans. They are also warning against a clause that states China can take action against those who violate the law outside of the country. Taiwan has echoed this criticism. Its government warns the law could be used to target people there who are critical of Beijing.

Biography Flash: Michelle Obamas Grants Netflix Buzz and Empty Nest Talk

Michelle Obama Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Michelle Obama has been in the headlines this past week mostly for a mix of serious civic work and a burst of chatter around her recent podcast comments. The most consequential development is that according to ABC7 Chicago, she and the Obama Foundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance announced $500000 in funding for 10 Chicago area nonprofits serving girls ages 10 to 19, with the grants expected to reach more than 2200 young people. That is the kind of move that carries real long term biographical weight because it reinforces her post White House identity as a major advocate for girls education and opportunity in her hometown. The other verified headline comes from late August and has kept echoing into this week. According to multiple entertainment and news outlets, Michelle Obama said on her IMO podcast with Jon Stewart that she does not miss having her daughters Malia and Sasha at home, a remark that triggered a lot of online commentary and some backlash. The substance of the quote is not controversial, but the tone became the story, and that is exactly the kind of small family moment that turns into a larger cultural flashpoint around how the public reads her. There is also a newer business and media angle. According to Riverhead News Review, Michelle Obama is listed as an executive producer on a Netflix comedy called Women Like Us, which began filming in early September on Shelter Island. That matters biographically because it shows she is still actively building a production footprint in entertainment, not just lending her name but shaping projects behind the scenes. On the lower stakes but still noteworthy side, a number of partisan and commentary sites have circulated harsh takes about her recent podcast remarks, but those are best treated as reaction content rather than verified reporting. Likewise, some of the loudest social media mentions this week appear to be amplification of the empty nester quote and not evidence of any major new controversy. Thank you for listening and be sure to subscribe to never miss an update on Michelle Obama and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies. Thanks for listening.

Loving Yourself: Stories of Identity and Healing

-J’Quay reflects on “heartache” rather than just heartbreak, describing how investing deeply in something that doesn’t work out leads to emotional crashes, but also to the realization that time helps us cope and reframe those experiences. J’Quay shares that they do let people get close and give everyone “equal parts” of themselves, but believe that heartbreak is survivable because there are billions of people in the world and one person’s rejection isn’t definitive. They talks about a childhood dream of being “palatable but different” to achieve goals, and how they consciously let go of that dream in favor of individuality, which has helped them make friends, get jobs, breathe easier, and feel stronger. -Seve describes struggling with negative self-talk and not often focusing on beautiful things others say, but he cherishes a compliment from a not-very-close friend who called them caring and kind-hearted, which made them feel deeply seen and warmed. He shares that one of the most painful things he tells himself is that he’s undeserving of happiness, rooted in feeling left out when seeing others experience love and joy, especially in high school and college. When feeling undeserving, he looks in the mirror and thinks of his parents’ love and dreams for their children, seeing himself as the child their parents wanted and as a product of their parents’ love, which helps them affirm “I’m enough.” -Nyle reflects on growing up in a very white neighborhood as a brown Pakistani person, praying to God and asking why he was made different, and feeling displaced and ashamed of their racial identity despite not facing overt racism. He tried changing key aspects of himself to conform—listening to the same music, changing his tastes—to avoid being an outcast. He convinced himself that a white girl wouldn’t like him because of the color of his skin, and begged his mother for skin-whitening cream. Later he learned to accept himself and take pride in his complexion. Topics: High school love, early insecurity, and shame Struggles with racial identity in a white neighborhood The danger of chasing physical perfection Finding self-love and worth by caring for others How time helps process heartache and heartbreak Overcoming the fear of standing out and embracing yourself Letting go of the dream of being palatable Overcoming negative self-talk by stepping back Finding self-worth in the love of parents and joy with family Choosing self-worth over validation from others FOLLOW THE SHOW ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/storiesfromastrangerpod ►Threads: https://www.threads.com/@storiesfromastrangerpod ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/storiesfromastrangerpodcast FOLLOW HUNTER PROSPER ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunter_prosper/ ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hunterprosper See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep. 1: Strange Things Are Happening

A new breed of worker is quietly clocking in across the United States. They’re writing code. Managing your passwords. Training the next generation of AI models. They’re gaining trust. And access. On paper, they’re the dream hire. Skilled. Low maintenance. Always remote and often affordable. And by most accounts, they’re doing the work. But strange things are happening. In a new season of To Catch a Thief, host and former lead cybersecurity and digital espionage reporter for The New York Times, Nicole Perlroth, investigates how North Korean agents are infiltrating the global workforce. How did a nuclear-armed regime worm its way onto the payroll of international companies – and why is it so difficult to get them off?

Raphael, Rebecca Chaisson and Sam Gebauer. Additional thanks to Allie Pinel, Fendall Fulton, Krissy Clark, Cai Lee, Eunice Park and Aimee Machado. Editing and Sound Design by Erica Huang.
