If you're writing a sci-fi/fantasy novel and need inspiration for faction insignia or emblems, screwdriver type charts may be handy. Just be sure to change them just enough to not be obvious. Also, some screwdriver styles not pictured apparently need a bit more scrutiny.

On the topic of user data privacy, I downloaded my tiktok data. There was a file "off tiktok activity" it's a history of every time tiktok acquired data about me from a third party. Like every company I've ever interacted has a profile for me and sells that data. This is not just a tiktok issue

The same security concerns with the CCP stealing data via an app, is hypothetically possible with any internet enabled hardware manufactured in China. Maybe don't put national security info on your phone, and leave me alone to waste time watching craft videos. 8/X #tiktokban

Pass laws protecting internet user data and restrict access to apps/platforms in non-compliance. 30 years of easy to access public internet, and we still have inadequate laws around data privacy. There's no excuse 7/X #tiktokban

Literally all the security issues that Tiktok can potentially pose, are things that Meta actually enabled to happen in 2016. The issue is not individual apps. The issue is a lack of data ptivacy regulation and regulated platform responsibility. 6/X #tiktokban

So yeah, the app had problems, but the ban does not fix those problems, because congress isn't interested is passing internet user data safety laws, this is about restricting competition. 5/X #tiktokban

Maybe dont immediately start making fun of people upset about the tiktok ban. Calling it a "kids app" tells my you have the same social IQ as people who a shocked to learn that there are videogames and cartoons made that aren't make for kids. 4/X #tiktokban

150 million people just lost access to a source of entertainment, education, and community 3/X #tiktokban

Hundreds of thousands of people just lost a creative outlet for effectively sharing things they are passionate about. 2/X #tiktokban

Tens of thousands of independent artists, small businesses, and self employed individuals just list their primary source of revenue and/or promotion for their products. 1/X #tiktokban

If everyone on tiktok could stop body shaming and stereotyping people for being polyamorous, that be great. Seriously, it's 2025, I thought we were trying to get past making fun how people look because of not liking thier life style

Do you want to build a snow man? No. I shall build a snow king!

It's been what, two weeks? How long am I gonna have to wait before people start making memes about Brian Thompson as the CEO of Geneco?

Pro-trump Twitter twits are getting upset that people are here instead of on XTwitter. They getting big mad that we're not there to listen to them, and they're too afraid of running into someone with a nose ring to be here

Spending the weekend at the family farm with my brother and some of his kids. My nephews keep trying to build simple structures from small trees they've cut down. Maybe we should come back in the spring and I'll bring my timber framing tools and teach them about old carpentry

2000: I want a good career I can advance in that will allow me to buy a house and to go on occasional vacations. 2010: I want a decent job that allows me to live comfortably 2020: I want to not hate my job and to have some money left after paying my bills Now: surviving is an act of defiance

If Neo-Nazi demonstrators aren't bad enough, the group in Ohio was speciffically demonstrating outside a theatrical production of Anne Frank's Diary. abcnews.go.com/US/nazi-demo... At what point is hate speech no longer protected by free speech?

Attn: A recent D.C. District Court of Appeals ruling could significantly impact environmental policy. The court determined that the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) lacks authority to issue binding regulations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), (1/3)

Mike Tyson vs internet troll who's name I forget. No matter what, this wont end well for the troll. Either he losses against one of the greatest boxers of all time, or he wins against a boxer who's 20 years past his prime. Either way, he's not gonna come out looking good for this

Still trying to decide if I'll be using this as a personal page, or as an extention of my TikTok public notoriety. To be fair, I haven't posted there much either, and what I do might as well just be a public journal

Trying to find traditional woodworking posts to train this app on the type of content I want to see, not finding much, so I guess I might be building the ground floor #handtools #woodworking
