Update
It's not TikTok, but action against ChiCom nationals and intelligence officers.
Perusing twitter this morning I saw news that Merrick Garland's ghost will be presenting some national security issue today. I immediately consulted with the gang, and our initial instincts were that this would no doubt be some kind of election chicanery, a preemptive strike to delegitimize the gains that the GOP is guaranteed to make in the House in a few weeks, and likely to make in the Senate, (probably some gubernatorial and local races too).
Then I saw some speculation that perhaps a TikTok ban was in the works, which... as a father and a patriot would be a welcome thing.
But no... it looks like it indeed will be the former. Say tuned for the next round of Russian collusion hysteria!
Welcome to the dumpster fire. We've planted the flag here as a base of operations in the ever changing landscape of social media outlets. Based on what I've seen so far Locals seems like a safe bet for now to avoid running afoul of the censorship overlords that seem to increasingly dominate our lives and the public discourse.
I'm Riggs, a recovering social media addict and political junkie. I've begrudgingly ventured back into the twitter cesspool as I prepare to launch youtube and rumble content, hopefully alongside two life long friends. We'll wade into minefields of politics, religion, pop culture, and the general hell scape that is Anno Domini 2022 and beyond.
Here's to hoping we find our footing and grow our community of like minded and perhaps not so like minded internet denizens before we are all turned into radioactive ash.
Cheers!
We are all big fans of the Indiana Jones franchise, as young boys we were treated to nazi's getting their faces melted, and dudes getting their still beating hearts ripped out of their chests. Our favorite middling college professor/grave robber is back in the summer of 2023... and I am hoping for Nuclear Armageddon before we have to see it.
We had our weekly episode of The Bitter End the other night, and one of the topics I want to touch on periodically is the ever changing Cannabis landscape in The United States. As children of the 80's we grew up with "Just Say No", D.A.R.E. and other programs, and then watched a bunch of contemporaries get into drugs anyway. It's never been anything I've been particularly interested in, but as someone fairly naïve about these sorts of things, I've been fascinated by the change in social mores over the last decade as states one by one move to decriminalize.
Is it still a left/right issue? Are pockets of the GOP stupid for not embracing an expansion of liberties? What went on at MJBizCon that was recently held in Las Vegas?
We discuss!
