Man, I should have cleaned up my office a little before my first Substack Podcast!
Nimodo.
But, hey, I just felt I needed to get this out right away: It’s an interesting kind of night with the impending TikTok band only about an hour away. Potential ban, that is. And most likely temporary.
Really, I’m just kind a testing things out here.
Also, I just needed to let you all know that this Monday, January 20, 2025, after around 15 years of nonsense, I am deleting my Facebook / META accounts.
Enough of that bullshit. Like Bob Dylan sang decades ago, “I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more!”
Facebook is toxic. The social media platform is structured in a way that maximizes pedo in order to maximize Mark Zuckerberg’s bank account. He has us fighting and threatening each other with childish posts about blocking or unfriending each other.
Then he figured out a way to play with our emotions once a year on our birthdays. Who doesn’t like hundreds of likes on their birthday?
But, the truth is, Zucky Boy has spent over 7 million dollars to lobby politicians to support a ban on TikTok.
Ya, man. It’s like that. Billionaire Zuck does not feel rich enough. He is going for Elon Musk level wealth with his move to cut out his competition.
And there are just so many other reasons to leave Facebook/Meta that I discuss in this sloppy, hasty first podcast on The Westside Populist.
Check it out!
Finaly, I don’t think Tick Tock is going anywhere. I think it is here to stay. Even if it might be temporarily dark for the next couple of days. But, just in case - and just so you know where else you can find me either way - here’s where to go after I split the Cara de Mierda Libro (look it up, my monolingual homies!):
Substack: The Westside Populist
TikTok: @barrio.emcee
YouTube: Grande Avenue with Miguel Ortega
Bluesky: @sonoranpopulist.bsky.social
