Attached: 1 image Sen. Marco Rubio just wrote this editorial regarding a potential TikTok ban. It's apparent to me that his gripe isn't with TikTok's surveillance or algorithms or data collection per se. It's that a Chinese company is doing it. Apparently, if TikTok were American, they would be peachy keen. But Chinese? That's bad! I don't like TikTok, and I believe it's generally an evil corporation. Yet I also dislike how Sen. Rubio is pushing yellow peril. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tiktok-other-social-media-controlled-enemies-must-banned-now-we-cant-wait-longer

Good morning everybody and welcome to Tuesday. I'm drinking coffee and doing braille display maintenance this morning, along with sorting some Microsoft Word fuckery with a large document. Otherwise lots of work to get to today. The coctail didn't happen last night because I fell asleep, but ingredients are in the fridge for when I get some downtime.
