Sunday Journaling – January 19, 2025

Well, Tik Tok has been eliminated from the US. Life will never be the same. I just feel numb. Oh wait, I was sitting on my foot. The thing is that when an app like Tik Tok poses an immediate threat to national security, you have to take swift action. I realize that I didn’t see the importance of quick decisive action when I wrote a blog post about Tik Tok a little while back. Let’s see… um… it should be. Hold on. I’m scrolling. It should… what the hell? Um… 2020!? It took four and a half years to eliminate a national threat? Did the FBI and the CIA not see how bad this was? Were they even involved? Anyway, you should go read my blog post. It explains why this was probably a waste of a congressional bill.

That’s the big news. There really isn’t much else going on in the world. Some sort of cease fire, but what does that have to do with social media?

I wish I wasn’t so tired. I would write like seventy bazillion blog posts tonight, but somehow, I was awake pretty early on Saturday and even though it’s only 3 am, I’m pretty tired. And it’s freezing cold outside, so I have no interest in leaving the house. I just need to go to sleep. Or I could watch that talking dog on Tik T… ugh. Never the fucking mind. I’m going to bed.

Chris McGinty is a blogger who hasn’t seriously used Tik Tok since Trump was president. I know that’s about to be a confusing statement, but you’ll be ok.
