He is saying: hey guys, if only you would implement this more rationally and carefully? Pretty please? Why does he think anyone in the Administration would listen to this? If they were inclined to do so, they wouldn't have come up with this policy in the first place

Watching a Korean drama based on the life of a doctor who was unique in Korea for being able to treat extreme trauma cases, in particular gunshot wounds. He had to study in the US to learn how to treat gunshot wounds so well. In the show, they depict him being a doctor who learned it from war zones

Yeah I know about the detailed Project 2025 plans. But these "executive orders" are so sloppily drafted they don't even make sense in terms of the supposed goals of Project 2025. It's not clear in many cases what the orders are even ordering. It's at least for now partly incompetence IMO

Eh, I don't know. Yes, there is a strategy to it, and many years of planning, but there is also chaos due to incompetence

I have had TikToks hit a million views for no reason whatsoever I can fathom. I've made zero effort to gain followers or go viral. I post about random topics that are completely unrelated. But I don't think I'll ever become a "big account" even if TikTok isn't banned because I don't cater to the 8

It was kind of eerie. It's not like it went totally dark for me instantly. I was able to watch videos for a while, that had been cached. I even could read comments. Then I clicked on a creator profile and it was empty. I can still play about 25 videos from my account but can no longer download them.

Thanks a lot! We'll see how it goes. For now, just posting to my 10 followers on YouTube. I might see if my account is still accessible in South Korea, where I lived when I first started TikTok

Los Angeles also didn't burn to the ground. I've seen people posting "I've always wanted to visit Los Angeles and now it's too late". It is a horrific tragedy and so many people lost their homes. But there are 3,000,000 structures in LA county and 10,000 of them burned. City still here

If you see ash in the air or on surfaces put on a mask as AQMD advises. Ash will not show up in AQI numbers but contains a ton of toxins that will affect you for years. Remember 9/11 workers and their long term health issues. This can and will happen to you.
