Mike, Hans, and Georgia discuss the recent U.S. deal with TikTok, how it’s changed the app,  whether it’s worth sticking around to see what happens, or if it's better to just log off for good.

There is no promise like the present
though the present’s not promise at all.
The grifter flashes a glimmer like it was
a sure thing. Clinging to these turns
blindsides what’s before the eye, a fist
behind dice. I want distraction even
more than you, but both of us lost
the duel when our seconds went missing.
Excerpt of Against Hope By Charles Bernstein
