Hey RVA! Do you like drum n bass/jungle? There’s apparently a sick show tonight at RVABoombox featuring:

Patrick Courier - 9-10
O-NO - 10-11
T.R.A.C. & Dave Owen - 11-1230
Will Miles - 1230-2

Starts at 9PM and tickets are ~$20

Not my forte but I bet it’s gonna be sick. Small space, large sound!

Write a letter to Luigi and let him know how much you appreciate him. Every prisoner deserves correspondence, but this dude has some hard days ahead of him.

Some of these videos are getting deleted pretty quickly after they start to get popular. All social media algorithms are a result of choices made by humans, but this is a case where TikTok doesn’t want the heat involved. Otherwise they’d truly let them go viral.
As far as I know one doesn't control one's own feed in TikTok?

(How) Can you tell that this phenomenon is organic and not steered?

What interests me most about this perspective, which is obviously argued in bad faith, is that it's presented as people being brainwashed. That line "stuff they read on the internet" tries to suggest the frustration people are expressing about the healthcare system isn't from firsthand experience.

Correction: The Facebook post got over 90k laughing emojis before that feature was turned off, according to Huffpost. It was 60k last I saw it.

UnitedHealth's Facebook post about the death of the CEO received over 60k laughing emojis before they turned off the feature for that post. Whatever's happening is so much bigger than TikTok and has nothing to do with the Chinese government.

I don't think the point is that these people are about to start a violent revolution. The point is that they're talking in a way that I've never seen so many normal people talk about murder online. These aren't edgelords. There's a real shift in the way the average American is discussing this.
Seems like one potential outcome here is that people make edgy TikTok videos and then don’t do much else.
TikTok is pretty wild right now. I don’t think the ruling class is prepared for the cultural shift that’s happening this week.

Lots of videos in this genre too, though I’m not sure what the name for it would be.

Some of the more fascinating videos on social media right now don’t even say anything explicitly about the shooting. You’d have no idea what this video was about if you posted it on any other week.

They’re often getting deleted by social media platforms but the UnitedHealth CEO murder ballad is definitely a genre now online.

I hope folks remember that boycotting is a privilege some don’t have. Poor folks shop at Walmart. Disabled folks shop on Amazon.

We do what we can. Shaming others isn’t the way.
