“We needed an Agartha of our own,” explains a TikToker named leftist0, who’s amassed hundreds of thousands of views with Shambhala edits. The 15-year-old self-identified Marxist from Australia tells me he was always pretty liberal, but finding out about Red Shambhala videos earlier this year pushed him into reading The Communist Manifesto and Lenin’s TheRead More
The Shambhala element is absurd, but these editors aren’t totally off-base. Trying to get kids bred on Cocomelon, corecore, and Rizzler clips to read radical literature is a herculean task, so why not meet them where they are in the algorithmic insane asylum? Vril and Agartha have thrived in part because of the way theRead More
For the last few weeks, my TikTok feed has been mired in country music filth. In one scroll, a woman sings about swigging a beer while rubbing a corncob on her clit, then a man moans aggressively about sweating because of a “weiner” tearing up his backdoor. There’s a singer who ardently praises God forRead More
The TikTok begins with a video of YouTube music reviewer Anthony Fantano dissing underground artist Nettspend’s debut album, BAD ASS F*CKING KID, saying he’s “not really a super skilled rapper.” There’s a pause with a fabricated Wikipedia entry saying Fantano is of Jewish descent (the actual page says “Sicilian descent”), and then a barrage ofRead More
TikTok says that the government didn’t adequately consider viable alternative options before charging ahead with a law that could ban the platform in the US. TikTok, whose parent company ByteDance is based in China, claims that it provided the US government with an extensive and detailed plan to mitigate national security risks and that thisRead More
A report from Reuters says that work has been ongoing since last year to create a version of TikTok’s recommendation algorithm that operates independently from Douyin, the Chinese version of the app operated by its parent company ByteDance. According to the unnamed sources, completing the project could take more than a year as part ofRead More
The Bill that would Kill TikTok is signed by the POTUS (President of the United States), so ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, has only several months before it decides whether to sell or face a ban in the US. So far, the smoke signals coming from ByteDance’s yard rule out a possible divestiture. They don’t want anybodyRead More
The divest-or-ban bill is now law, starting the clock for ByteDance to make its move. The company has an initial nine months to sort out a deal, though the president could extend that another three months if he sees progress. While just recently the legislation seemed like it would stall out in the Senate afterRead More
The US push to force TikTok to divorce from its Chinese parent company or else be banned entirely had faded from public discussion for almost a full year. In the course of just over a week, it jumped suddenly from the pile of forgotten ideas to getting halfway through the process of becoming enshrined inRead More
Fujifilm’s X100V became so wildly popular that it felt like the camera was endlessly backordered at every camera retailer around. On the secondary market, prices for the rangefinder-style mirrorless camera shot up into truly silly territory after it had a big viral moment on TikTok. The X100V was so in demand that Fujifilm could’ve takenRead More
