Is anyone else’s TikTok weird right now? I’m getting a live, live, ad, post from 2 months ago, live, ad. What is going on?

I'm a big fan of Barcelona's "superblocks", designed in part to reduce traffic and create spaces for humans rather than cars to interact. This intersection was traffic clogged a few years ago. Our cities can be better places to live.

Just saw a video talking about how Trump is suing the press and how dangerous that is. I wholeheartedly agree but it’s made me wonder how media outlets are held accountable. I feel a lot of misinformation is put out from both sides just to get a reaction. So what is the solution?

Fraud Triangle Pressure: Meta faces lawsuits of $7 bill for monopoly and ad fraud. Opportunity: Meta donates $1M to Trump, meets w/him, and benefits as Congress bans TikTok for reasons that are unfounded. Rationalization: Actions framed as protecting US interests #tiktokrefugee #meta #trump

TikTok is not a publicly traded company; however, Meta is. The same members of congress that voted to ban TikTok also have large amounts of shares in Meta. #cancelmeta

Unpopular opinion. I thought Thor Ragnarok was so unserious when it came out, but people loved it. I gave it a 2nd chance and it grew on me. Then L&T is made with the same playbook and everyone hated how unserious it was. I couldn’t have been more confused.

It makes me irrationally angry that we had a really good Joker movie and a really good Batman movie and there are no plans to ever have those two face off. But instead we got a sequel to Joker that is a weird musical! Like come on! You were so close! You had it! You just had to bring them together.
