I don’t understand tiktok. I suppose I should, but the idea that these dances and vignettes that shape the media is just dumb. Sure, it is powered by 50 million children and bots pretending to be children. This is a really sad reflection on human society as it stands in this day and age. There is looking for fame and distraction and then there is this. Tiktok is humanity at its most useless and at its most powerful. We could be using the media to propagate real progress, but instead people are dancing and begging you to like and subscribe. Yikes.
Some Thoughts:
- Watching the Ravens v. Chiefs game I am amazed at the crazy athleticism.
- Falling into this week I am excited for what is possible. I am also slightly terrified in a premonitory way about Tuesday. I don’t know why.
- One thing I love about this present life: joy on the faces of my kids after winning a game.
- One thing I hate about this present life: How lazy of a home lifestyle my five boys all lead.
- One thing I’m excited to learn about: How my students feel about climate change
- One thing I’m messed up about: My roof got ruined in this last haboob and I hope insurance fixes it.
- One thing that makes me feel blessed: My partner still loves me and wants to be with me. I mean that is a big deal. I’m not that great as of late.
