I was thinking about this earlier while walking the dog, in the form of a Twitter post from a politician. To wit:
TikTok is the real-life version of the TNG episode “The Game”. Everywhere we have addicts to this poison, to this ketracel white#. I would rather your kids smoke weed than install TikTok on their phones: you complain of the smell; I complain of noise pollution. You complain of stoned zombies shambling everywhere; I complain of kids slowly shuffling their way to school, heads bowed in penance to TikTok. We must end this menace to the public by any legislation necessary, even if we have to invent a reason, in an inadvertant and regretted parallel to J.D. Vance. TikTok delendum est. Also, fuck the CCP.
this line was inserted just now while typing this though it’s probably a bit forced. I had thought of ketracel white as an analogue to the game in “The Game”
ed: apparently, the hash makes your paragraph gigantic. I’m glad it’s not one of those things that work from ✳️ to ✳️. I chose it as an inert null value. I was wrong.
