      I’m not ashamed by how much TikTok content I’ve been consuming daily before it gets banned.
      
      My favorite app.
      
      After that’s gone, the only other app that will get my undying love is Pinterest.

      Currently trying out voice control on my phone. I'm typing this with my voice from a browser, and not the app. The in browser experience with voice on a phone is not that bad at all.

      I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.
