Not much to comment. I mean that meme coin had a lot of activity before tiktok seemed to decide things would go their way. I have a bit of story on the name obit. I think thats the husbands name and have never encountered it before but low and behold im talking to someone who mentions a guy they know with the same name. See though I assumed it was some sort of ethnic thing but the ethnicities seem to be about as different as you could get. So my friend mentions its a biblical name and im like. oh. guess that explains it.

    Last panel: is the character complaining about authoritarianism in that the government can ban apps, or that they would unban apps?

    Because unbanning an app seems not really authoritarian, no?

      my guess is its about the seemingly congressional act stopped by an individual. Of course you sorta have to ignore that it was tik tok that shut itself down given the legislation was about us app store providing it. I give a certain amount of slack for the cartoon given its sorta a common man outlook. It is not exactly anything im worried about when it comes to trump outside of the whole way he has made an untraceable bribe pipeline for himself which might have been utilized even though theoretically he should not have any power as president to effect the congressional act outside of bully pulpit. Although that bully pulpit is plenty powerful especially given the current congressional makeup and that way that party works.

        Yeah like the ban or not, 3 branches of government passed a bill, confirmed it, and then upheld it in court, and now one individual is seemingly going to go around all of that. That should be horrifying to everyone

    Hilarious how so many people posted “Good, now do {insert social media it’s trendy to hate}.” on… social media. Same thing with the Australia ban for kids on all social media. The hypocrisy is palpable.

      It is funny to me the amount of folks that talk about other social media here. Its like, dudes, I came here to get away from that crap. I have more than enough unfortunate engagement in it due to family/career that I keep as minimal as possible. I did post this comic though which is talking about tic toc. Although I have never been on tic tock myself but I have seen it on youtube and the news.
