Matt Davies for March 24, 2023

Soooooooooo …… you’re saying Uncle Sam is the new pirate, Captain Hook?

I’m fascinated with the simile – who’s “Peter”, Who’s “Smee” and most importantly, who “Wendy”? Don’t stop now, Mr. Davies…

I get the Pan allusion, but shouldn’t the reptile be a dragon?

So naive worrying about TikTok. Is your tracking device on right now? The one that can listen in or see everything around you if the lens is uncovered. Betting the majority of federal and state legislators leave their tracking device on during sensitive sessions, able to listen in on everything being said in earshot. Same thing in corporate boardrooms, phones off? Just because you no longer have the horrible app on your phone means nothing. Welcome to the new vulnerability, get used to it!

President Xi, there is a simple way to get the U.S. government to get off TikTok’s back. Offer to share all the data TikTok is collecting with the NSA and the CIA.

Nice conflation of a current story with a pop culture reference.

Joe McCarthy lives forever in what passes for a heart in the Republican Party. And a lotta pretend Democrats.

I get the comparison and while Biden is in office it is true but he is too simple to take the hint.

This tick tock thing is a croc.
