New Hampshire State PoliceBystanders who heard a helicopter lose control and crash into nearby woods in central New Hampshire ran towards the crash site and pulled its pilot from the burning wreckage, police said Sunday.The aircraft went down on Saturday afternoon with just the pilot onboard, a press release from the Danbury police department said, causing a fire in the aircraft which began to spread through the woods.The pilot was able to partially remove himself from the aircraft before a number of witnesses who heard the crash rushed to the scene and were able to remove the pilot completely, rendering aid until emergency services arrived. Once authorities arrived, the fire was extinguished and the pilot, who has not been identified, was transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center with “serious but non life-threatening injuries.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

‘The Real Housewives of Dubai’ Glows Up Thanks to Some Petty Beyoncé Drama
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Getty/BravoIt’s stereotypical for a Real Housewife to enter her second season with a tighter face, new lips, and more refined glam. Shaking off the growing pains of the debut, a second season Housewife knows who she is, and how to work the camera. After an astronomically long wait, The Real Housewives of Dubai is back with a facelift of its own, as the show emerges from its rocky debut to prove its worth.In the 21 months since RHODubai wrapped its first season, much has been speculated on the show’s survival prospects. Dubai is, in many ways, the Housewives underdog, paling in popularity to fellow newbie The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, while a The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills lead-in couldn’t carry its first season to similarly skyrocketing ratings. To put it into perspective, Season 2 was filmed from February to May 2023, the same filming timeline as RHOSLC Season 4 And RHOBH Season 13, which both premiered last fall, and—in the case of RHOSLC—has filmed another season already.But, at long last, RHODubai has risen like a phoenix out of the Dubai desert with the pettiest, most unrelatable drama imaginable. Thank God.Read more at The Daily Beast.

The Dalai Lama Is Landing in the Middle of the 2024 Election
In early September of 2020, Joe Biden, then the Democratic nominee for president, promised to put values—values held in contempt, he argued, by the man he would go on to defeat—at the center of American foreign policy. To act on his promise, he said, he would do something Donald Trump had neglected to do. “I’ll meet with His Holiness the Dalai Lama,” Biden said.For American presidents, meeting the 14th Dalai Lama can bring tension and discord, because Communist Party leaders in Beijing consider Tibet to be a part of China. They consider any recognition of the Dalai Lama—a Mandela-level icon, a symbol of Tibet’s will to survive, and also (by the way) a living Buddha, a bodhisattva, to his millions of followers—a terrible insult to Chinese sensitivities. (To be fair, Chinese leaders are omnidirectionally offended, by supporters of Taiwanese independence and Hong Kong democracy; by Christians and Uyghurs and Mongols; and by anyone else who threatens their Middle Kingdom sense of imperial entitlement.)More than three years into his term, Biden has not made good on his promise, though he has a plausible excuse: The Dalai Lama is 88 years old and in declining health, and he seldom leaves his home in exile in Dharamsala, in the Himalayan foothills of India. But the Dalai Lama’s age now provides a path for Biden to keep his promise: The bodhisattva has bad knees and has decided, after much procrastination, to come to New York this summer to investigate the possibility of replacement.A visit by Biden to the Dalai Lama’s hospital—or an after-surgery invitation to the White House—would signal continuing American concern over the oppression of Tibet and Tibetans, as well as support for one of the most heroic and pacific humanitarian leaders of our age. Such a visit would also have the benefit of signaling to the Chinese government that a U.S. president makes decisions independent of Chinese Communist feelings. (American CEOs are particularly feeble at signaling such independence.) A call on the Dalai Lama couldn’t possibly hurt Biden’s standing among voters, especially considering the Dalai Lama’s previous lack of interest in meeting with Trump when he was president. Five years ago, when I visited the Dalai Lama at his monastery in Manali, he told me that he did not look favorably on Trump’s jingoistic “America First” rhetoric. “Everyone first,” he said, laughing. “A much better idea.”The exact timing of his trip to the United States—his first in seven years—has not yet been decided, but it will follow another event of some significance: a visit later this month to Dharamsala by Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the House, and a congressional delegation. Pelosi has championed the Tibetan cause for decades, and, to her credit, she is loathed by Beijing for her comprehensive criticism of China’s human-rights record. In one of Pelosi’s earliest meetings with the Dalai Lama, she was so ferocious in her criticism of China’s human-rights abuses that the Dalai Lama said, impishly, “Now let us all pray so that we could rid Nancy of her negative attitudes.” (Pelosi’s trip has not yet been announced, and her spokesperson declined to comment, citing security concerns; news of the Dalai Lama’s proposed visit this summer was confirmed to me by sources involved in planning the trip.)The reemergence of the Dalai Lama into American politics in the months preceding the 2024 presidential election is good news for the unfortunate Tibetan cause, constantly steamrollered as it is by the raw deployment of Chinese power. In Dharamsala, the seat of the Tibetan government in exile, fear is ever present that the Dalai Lama’s eventual demise will make even more marginal the cause of Tibetan cultural and political independence. (As is implied by his status as the 14th Dalai Lama, the discovery of a 15th Dalai Lama is likely, though he will be reincarnated, according to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, as a small child, not as someone ready for international diplomacy. And the Chinese government has its own plan to identify and elevate a quisling lama.)Two months ago, I visited Dharamsala with, among others, Arthur Brooks, the Atlantic columnist and frequent writing collaborator of the Dalai Lama’s. We both experienced a religious leader who, though hobbled by knee pain and slowed by age, was still lucid and eloquent on the great subjects of freedom and happiness. I called Arthur today to ask him what he makes of this news.“In a contentious election year, it’s good to remind Americans of our core values as a people, and among those values are religious freedom and standing up for the dignity of all people around the world,” he said. “His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as we saw in Dharamsala in April, still has the ability to remind people around the world of what is good and true. For a Tibetan monk, he has an uncanny gift for bringing out the best of what it means to be a person and an American. This is an opportunity that President Biden cannot and should not miss.”
