I’m not sold on the dangers of TikTok versus, say, X or Meta or TruthSocial, but I really wish someone had thought for two seconds about what would happen if they banned the most popular app for kids.

Some of the responses we've seen to the CA fires illustrate the same basic political dynamic that helped Trump win last year. It's a given Republicans will crap on Dems when things go wrong. But it's also a given that the far left does it too, often in equally misleading ways.

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!)
