Yardbirds

I'm on TikTok but occasionally. I view snowboarding, music and dog videos so the algorithm feeds me related users and their content. There is a lot of political BS that I steer clear of. I could easily live without it.

Happy Together gets my vote. The only song I like from Van is TB Sheets.

Astral Gateway - Spectral Dimensions Unraveled

Apologize for Chaos - Devastated Planet

Woman: You look very ponderous. And you don't even know what that means. Man: Yes, I do. That's where Ben Cartwright lives.

Happy Together annoys me -- the lyrics, the chorus, the way the verses are sung, the whole song. BYG is not my favorite Van Morrison tune, but it's tough to vote against Van.

Jocic and Co are damn good

Voimaton - Primal

Nazi to a prisoner: How would you like to see our firing squad? Prisoner: In a circle.

Point of Inflection - Massacre in Stereo

Huronian - Portals to the Unspeakable

Roast Dead - Shoved in the Oven

Man: I was engaged once. I wrote her every day. Woman: What happened? Man: She married the postman.

"The evidence," in this context refers to, "the Chinese Communist Party accessed the data of TikTok users on a broad scale, and for political purposes." And yes, a case can be proven on the word of 1 witness provided the jury believes that person is telling the truth. China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law states that “any organization” must assist or cooperate with state intelligence work while a separate 2014 Counter-Espionage Law says “relevant organizations ... may not refuse” to collect evidence for an investigation. Since ByteDance, which owns TikTok, is a Chinese company, it would likely have to abide by these rules if Chinese authorities asked it to turn over data. Laws and regulations are only one aspect of the Communist Party’s pervasive control. There are no legal limits on the party’s powers. The authorities also can threaten to cancel licenses, conduct regulatory or tax investigations and use other penalties to compel compliance by Chinese and foreign companies operating in China. The party sometimes conveys orders using “window guidance,” or informal communication in private. It has used crackdowns to tighten control over technology companies and force them to align with its goals.

Pink Sock - Recycled Humans

Here's how it goes: "Tell you what, we'll let a foreign power harvest data on every citizen in this country!" "Hang on, won't the serfs clamour for such an outlet to banned?" "Exactly! Then we can completely control the internet!" You've got to hand it to them, the statists are miles ahead of the scum.

Man: I learned all I know about horses from my father. Woman: Was he a breeder? Man: Sometimes.
