That Tall Nerd 👓 on TikTok posting about the news, geo-politics 🌐, urbanism 🏙️, economics, and other geeky things (#AvGeek, science, etc.). Former editor working in tech, I’m a #globalcitizen ⭕️ and US-based 🇺🇸 … for now

I always find it interesting when I try to research a topic I remember reading about years ago (like, 2010s/20s, not 1990s), and this is the result from mainstream media websites

Are they trying to limit human knowledge, or is it just coincidence?

Had to do it … this @kilocode.ai ad had too many other purposes, and the way we’ve seen CEOs justify shrinking workforces as corporations achieve record profits is getting wild, AI or no AI

American culture is something we usually don’t talk about because Americans don’t have a culture

Companies moved into that space to sell us things, and we need to reclaim our humanity to resist commercialization

Red state companies keep buying blue state ones and imposing their short-sighted, avaricious ways on us. It’s happened in more than one industry; #media is just the most visible

“Telling the truth in a corrupt society is a radical act” —I have faced a backlash for speaking my truth, which should not happen in a free society. Both at work and on social media

America needs a better #culture that incorporates outside opinions, whether we agree or not. “Sticks and stones”

I got to learn a lot about the Mandarin language too, something I never would have sought out on my own

Humanity is stronger when we understand our common bonds: I got to talk about the similarities between our languages with a Chinese teacher once on TikTok live

Goodbye to TikTok US, a fascinating cultural exchange and endless source of entertainment, joy, creative inspiration —and great shopping deals! Hopefully this is a “see you soon”
