The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not much to comment. I mean that meme coin had a lot of activity before tiktok seemed to decide things would go their way. I have a bit of story on the name obit. I think thats the husbands name and have never encountered it before but low and behold im talking to someone who mentions a guy they know with the same name. See though I assumed it was some sort of ethnic thing but the ethnicities seem to be about as different as you could get. So my friend mentions its a biblical name and im like. oh. guess that explains it.

Last panel: is the character complaining about authoritarianism in that the government can ban apps, or that they would unban apps?

Because unbanning an app seems not really authoritarian, no?

my guess is its about the seemingly congressional act stopped by an individual. Of course you sorta have to ignore that it was tik tok that shut itself down given the legislation was about us app store providing it. I give a certain amount of slack for the cartoon given its sorta a common man outlook. It is not exactly anything im worried about when it comes to trump outside of the whole way he has made an untraceable bribe pipeline for himself which might have been utilized even though theoretically he should not have any power as president to effect the congressional act outside of bully pulpit. Although that bully pulpit is plenty powerful especially given the current congressional makeup and that way that party works.

Yeah like the ban or not, 3 branches of government passed a bill, confirmed it, and then upheld it in court, and now one individual is seemingly going to go around all of that. That should be horrifying to everyone

Not really though I think. The actual thing is the app store ban which as far as I know is still in effect.

Just checked the App Store (five hours after your post) and as of 7:09pm EST, you cannot download ANY ByteDance-owned apps, including TikTok & Marvel Snap.

thanks for checking. I hate smartphones so I can't check.

Hilarious how so many people posted "Good, now do {insert social media it's trendy to hate}." on... social media. Same thing with the Australia ban for kids on all social media. The hypocrisy is palpable.

Arent most people here because they hate mainstream social media?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

presumably but we have all these communities around things from reddit and some others that I can't remember the name of till I see them. many are making fun of like crazy posts but I block them all the same as I certainly don't want to see the goofiest of the stuff I don't like in general.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It is funny to me the amount of folks that talk about other social media here. Its like, dudes, I came here to get away from that crap. I have more than enough unfortunate engagement in it due to family/career that I keep as minimal as possible. I did post this comic though which is talking about tic toc. Although I have never been on tic tock myself but I have seen it on youtube and the news.
