So yeah, I'm off Facebook, I'm off Twitter, or X or whatever it is now, I'm off Instagram; you name it, I'm off it. And I don't think I've ever gone ON TikTok.

I think TikTok is the only social media I can trust these days. It's an
odd world we live in.

I only use Facebook Messenger to communicate with family. I have never actually used Facebook app. I used the web page to set up my account so I could use Messenger. I hear of people wasting a lot of time on those social sites. I like the BBS scene and it works for me until my time is up.

I hadn't heard of TikTok until it was in the news in early 2000, when I star hearing the US government wanted to block it due to being possibly spyware since it's developed in China.

Has Tiktok been around that long? I am out of step with the times.

I hope I'll keep doing all the things I love doing (e.g. playing drums) until the day I die too. Hopefully later than sooner. :-)

Some of their drummers have perished in the strangest of ways.

That's what brought it to mind. I haven't seen it yet, but it's
on the list for sure. :)

What are they up to now, 15 drummers?

I'm surprised they haven't played with 2 drummers, like the Doobies or
.38 Special - have a hot spare handy.

I actually thought it was a decent sequel. It had a new story and what I thought was decent acting, as well as callbacks to the first movie.

ironically, despite a lot of these movies being remade because they attained some sort of cult following, "the cult" usually doesn't like the new versions, reimaginings, or whatever they end up creating.

"ordinary" people who just remember liking the movie when they were younger and probably haven't seen it since then eat that shit up though.
