Boy if THAT ain't prophetic :-/

For those who are wondering, she says in the TikTok as I'm in Canada and can still access the app:

"And remember kids, it was Trump who started all of this. And if he comes back on the 19 of January, saying that he is making sure that tiktok is not getting banned, coming from a German, this is exactly what a certain painter from 1933 did back then to get the sympathy of the masses.

"I beg you, I beg YOU, to not sympathize with him. This is all a plan, this is all, the only thing that they didn't consider was all of you marching over to Rednote. It TikTok stays because of Trump, this app will be run over by Republican propaganda. Fascist propaganda, the same as it happened back in 1933 in Germany. Our version was burning books, their version is deleting every information that is not serving their worldview.

"Please don't let history repeat itself.

"Sincerely, A German"

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

MAYBE FOR YOU...

But for the rest of us he’ll be remembered for:

AND:

PLUS, all the charities he has brought awareness to and helped raised money for.

Benedict Cumberbatch will be remembered for so much more than just being Sherlock Holmes.

Yes! Over-entitled, bitter tjlc types are exactly who think like this and it frankly is just plain insulting to a talent like BC.

I just came from a National Theatre Live performance of Frankenstein and to see those whiny remarks about how Sherlock is THE ONLY role worthy of him… well it just roils me completely.

How can anyone after witnessing BC’s Richard III, or Patrick Melrose, or Hamlet, or Martin Crieff, or Chrissy Tietjens, or James from Third Star, or his Smaug work, or his duel performances in Frankenstein, say this man will only be remembered for Sherock!?!?WTF? A VERY, VERY narrow, dismissive, insulting view of such an immense talent. Completely unappreciative of BC’s mastery of his artistic skills. People like that just give me a headache!

This is how you handle the Doctor being a woman. Little mentions here and there, things that feel organic to the story, not forced. And the best part is it’s usually her that forgets for a moment because for a Time Lord, gender doesn’t matter, you are still the same person you’ve always been, just in a different body, regardless of gender.
