All right. Well, you know, I'm surprised they didn't thank Supreme Emperor Leader Trump. I'm surprised they didn't praise him and thank him in that. What a just a weird, awkward weekend it was. What a weird weekend.
It was a weird vibe. Honestly, I wish it stayed down for a while. A couple of days. Because I was already drafting up a tweet that said, Mike, you know what? I'm kind of in the mood to check out TikTok. Send me all those videos you've been sending me for the last three years that I've been ignoring the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just, you know, PR stunt for sure. Absolutely.

With ByteDance, you know, ByteDance being, I think... Imran Khan had a great post on Blue Sky the other day that was like, hey, it's kind of on us, on journalists, and I get it. But when we noticed that ByteDance, we didn't really ask ourselves, what else does ByteDance own? It's like, oh, Marvel Snap is one of the things under their umbrella, along with the app TikTok. Yeah.

But yeah, just a weird kind of weekend. Didn't make a whole lot of sense with what was going on. It felt like it was going to go down for a while. And you're right, I hadn't really opened TikTok in a while, but when it did come back up, suddenly my whole For You page is a bunch of people going, well, it's been a great time seeing y'all. Follow us over here. Thank you so much for this.

The homie Ray Apollo had another great blue sky post talking about, you know, how the heroes in the boys TV show set up the saves. You know, they put somebody in danger and they come in to kind of save the world and show everybody how awesome they are so they can get all the praise.

Just a weird, awkward thing, along with CapCut, like some people in our chat are mentioning CapCut as somebody, another app that is in the ByteDance umbrella. But yeah, Marvel Snap going down was not something that I kind of assumed would happen, because I just kind of didn't really think that they were underneath ByteDance. So when that goes down, that was like, whoa, this as well?

Like, I understand... And I think it's I don't know if ByteDance was even forced to do any of that. I don't think they were. I think it all just is sort of publicity and them them taking down Marvel Snap. I guess they were like, well, we have to make this look real. So we have to take down everything else that, you know, we sort of run. Very awkward, very weird, obviously very staged.
