it's been a while but just a small update:

Yung Filly has 2 new charges against him as reported by the beeb: BBC News - Yung Filly faces two new sexual assault charges

The rapper appeared before Perth Magistrates Court in Australia on Friday.

Just a casual reminder that Yung Filly is going to be entering his plea in the coming week as to whether he violently raped a young woman after his show is Australia.

Meanwhile Johnny Somali has had all his devices confiscated as part of the investigations into his depraved behaviour in South Korea

Whilst it's highly unlikely that the Hawk Tuah Girl (Hailey Welch) will be criminally charged for running a scam related to her recent $hawk token disaster, she has just laid the ground work to sow doubt into investing in new cryptocurrencies. This could benefit (speculative) more established coins.

I understand that @bsky.app is positioned as an alternative to Twitter but, in the world of big social media, Meta is the real one to beat.

Between Instagram & Facebook, Meta has a combined impact of anywhere from 3.1 - 4.5 BILLION people worldwide.

I've realised a lot of people who don't work in Marketing often have a very different perception of normal human behaviour than those of us that do.

For example, a *good* advert will lead to 3%-5% of people seeing it actually buying from it. An *exceptional* advert will be anything above 10%

In 2024, there were four different 24-hour periods where 100% of UK smartphone devices connected to one of these platforms:

1. Meta - (Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp)

2. Google (YouTube, Google Search, Gmail, Chrome, Android)

3. Microsoft - (Outlook, Office 365, Hotmail)

4. ByteDance - (TikTok)

4Chan - it's like Twitter but with a better moderation policy.

This is more important within the context of TikTok potentially being sold/banned in the next few weeks.

Two companies are positioned to gain the most. Meta and Twitter

Just a little reminder that Cambridge Analytica really did develop military grade software (that had UK export controls applied like all UK military grade tools) and deployed it to influence elections in the UK (that we know of for sure) and probably in the US too.
November 27, 2024 at 11:57 AM
19th January is the deadline for TikTok to either sell to a US owned company or be banned from the US.

The upcoming appeals hearing on Dec 6th is a good litmus test for what we can expect regarding past decisions being upheld. Trump (now) doesn't want TikTok banned... apparently.

Its official. Johnny Somali has just been banned from TikTok... I'm not down with censorship but in this case, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Just a little reminder that Ant from Ant and Dec was drunk driving and smashed his car into a mother and child, sending the kid to the ER... still didn't go to jail.

I'm not saying it's market manipulation but they literally called a government department DOGE, it's run by a guy who is known to hold/historically 'promote' DOGE coin and on the day of the announcement DOGE coin instantly spikes... 🤷‍♂️
November 26, 2024 at 4:12 AM
Just a causal reminder that Yung Filly's second hearing is coming up soon (december) meanwhile Johnny Somali's charges are still building... it's a tough time for (allegedly) criminal youtubers nowadays...

Let's play a game.

I actually don't think Joe Rogan is that controversial or problematic.
