GUYS! FELLAS! DUDES! This is on us. To acknowledge the inauguration of a rapist & his rapist filled cabinet, I will once again point out to all my fellow men that this applies to your mother, wife, sister & daughter more times over than you will ever know.

The face of a cat who has finally finished his antibiotic regimen and now will no longer have to be tackled and have a squirt of amoxicillin forced down his throat twice a day. Both cat and humans are equally relieved.

What if we just didn’t go back to TikTok? The ghosting, the lack of care—it’s giving toxic. Trump “saving us”? Yikes. What if we stay here, chill on YouTube, and look for a platform that treats us right? Feels like time for a healthier digital relationship.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Ah yes. All the angles being played by the oligarchs on this are coming into focus. How about the fact that TIKTOK isn’t allowed to operate in China? What about that?

The effort to ban TikTok was started by Trump in 2020. If Trump “saves” TikTok, he will just be undoing the problem he created.

A lot of folks asked why I’m so angry about trolls. “Just block em!” This is an example. Sent me nasty DM on X. Told him to pound sand and blocked. He came here. Blocked. He went to Facebook. Blocked. My daughter found this in her medical FB group DM’s. I was doxxed 3-times last year. That’s why.

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

As the effort to ban TikTok was growing, Trump took credit in this 2023 Truth Social post. Trump: “Everyone wants to go after, and destroy, TIKTOK …When I wanted to disable TIKTOK 3 years ago, I was met with opposition …Now they realize I was right …l've been right about everything!”

Yesterday was shitty so let’s start today off better. This is Peppermint Patty. She was completely feral & unsocialized in November & now look at her. She loves to cheek rub you & flop into your lap. She’s so happy to show affection she can hardly sit still. Sometimes in rescue, we do get to win.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

Trump said he was right about banning TikTok. Now he says “save” it.

“Instead of lowering prices or ending war in Ukraine, Trump is selling ‘meme coins’ right before the inauguration,” USC law professor Ben Meiselas posted on Bluesky. “He doesn’t give a crap about our country. The world is laughing at us.” l.smartnews.com/p-iduf9tD/oq...

Apparently Donald watches @meidastouch.bsky.social So they invited me to speak directly to the grifter president. I didn't mince words.

I finally realized what bugs me about the TikTok notice: it’s not that Trump may save it, it’s the ‘we need his permission’ vibe. It feels very Handmaid’s Tale. I don’t need permission to post on a social platform. TikTok, you’re starting to feel like a bad place. Never OfTrump

CapCut is also shutting down in the US as it is also owned by ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company.

Experiencing the app deteriorate in real time was sad but almost a relief that I didn’t have to guess anymore what was going to happen. #tiktok #tiktokban

Every American TikTok user is currently seeing this when they try to open the app. Congratulations, Democrats. This could’ve been avoided had you listened to progressives last year when this bill was being forced through Congress.

People need to stop acting like TikTok is a platform just for Gen Z. It’s massively popular across demographics in the U.S., with nearly half of Americans having an account. This is going to be highly disruptive for many people—both creators and consumers.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?
