Musical Manure: Episode 1 - i'm not OKAY (or this song isn't OKAY) + Editorial

 Welcome back to The Chronicles of Trevor, where the sour notes have a sweet aftertaste.

And now, I'd like to announce a new series of rants/reviews called...

For our inaugural post, I'm gonna rant about the song "i'm not OKAY" by Yungblud and MGK.

If you don't know who those two musicians are, Yungblud is an alternative rock group best known for songs like "Zombie" and "War", among many others. MGK, a censored abbreviation of the name Machine Gun Kelly, is a rapper. Well, to be fair, they're both good artists. But i'd be sure to keep them as far away from each other as humanly possible. Because if not, YOU GET THE DUMPSTER FIRE THAT IS "I'M NOT OKAY"!

Sure, rock and rap can work well together, take for instance the Beastie Boys. But this song is just rock through and through, but with one thing that ruins it. THE (BLEEP)ING (BLEEP) (BLEEP) SWEARING.

It's one of those songs that has an F-bomb IN THE FIRST LINE OF THE LYRICS! YOU'RE NOT MATT DAMON IN THE MARTIAN, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. Also, there's another one in the same chorus. Yes, Two F-bombs in the chorus, which plays thrice in the song.

You might be saying, "How is 6 F-bombs in a song bad?" The reason, Yungblud. Their other songs are clean as a whistle. I guess MGK, who collaborated with this dumpheap was like "Ayo Yungblud my *beep*ing *beep*s. Why don't you add some *beep* in here and some *beep* in there, because your *beep*ing song needs *beep* and *beep* and *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* in order to sell!"

It reminds me of how companies want to throw more language, violence, and sex into their TV shows and movies, JUST because they're on streaming. Heck, with Yungblud being in it, it's similar to a company that makes family-friendly content venturing into making R-rated m-

That. 

Happened. 

SONY PICTURES ANIMATION RELEASED AN R-RATED MOVIE IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR.

The Open Season people made THIS THING?! AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY EVEN MADE A CUSTOM VARIANT OF THEIR OPENING LOGO FOR THIS FILM!

Seeing the "SONY PICTURES ANIMATION" logo front and center on an adult-oriented project is so jarring, and would upset many children who love their movies. That's why studios focused on family-oriented media use different brands for mature content, like how Disney created Touchstone Pictures back in 1984, and that's how they're operating 20th Century Fox nowadays (Even 6 years later, I don't acknowledge the name change).

But seeing the same SPA logo as the visually stunning Spider-Verse films on this thing is just plain wrong. I can't even keep calling Fixed a "movie" because calling it that is calling it art, and I can make better art in the toilet. 

Just saying...

I know Genndy Tartakovsky wanted to do something different, and he is a great in the field of animation, but... why?! 

I know K-Pop Demon Hunters and GOAT exist, and are still family-friendly productions, but come on, at least make a Touchstone-style sub-brand for adult content, or at least hide the fact that SPA animated the film by putting it far in the end credits of adult-oriented films.

And to think The Emoji Movie is considered Sony Pictures Animation's worst film. I'd say Fixed is tied with that, because it's jarring to see the people that made such beloved family classics as Hotel Transylvania, Open Season, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs produce an adult-oriented movie with strong language, sex, and all that stuff. 

Also, Sony decided to make it exclusive to NETFLIX, who is known for their overabundance of TV-MA rated original series and R-rated original movies. In fact, over 65% of Netflix's original content is rated for mature audiences.

And it's not just Sony that did this. WWE, known for keeping its content around a hard TV-PG since the rename back in 2002, decided to just say *beep* it and make a docuseries, again on Netflix, called WWE Unreal, which carries, you're not gonna believe it, a TV-MA RATING... which WWE never likes to use. They rarely even used it in the beloved "Attitude" era. I guess since Netflix co-produced it, they made a deal with WWE Studios that the swearing had to be uncensored, so they could gain the rights to Monday Night RAW from USA.

In that case, it's even MORE like "i'm not OKAY" in that sense, since, just like that song being by a musician that never swears using the f-word and co-produced by a rapper, Unreal is by a sports entertainment company that is family-oriented, co-produced by a streaming service. 

HEY, WWE AND SONY, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ON STREAMING DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED *BLEEP*S, *BLEEEEP*S OR *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*S FLUNG LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.

Just saying...

Amazon Music: Everything Must Be Marked Explicit!

Welcome to the Chronicles of Trevor! Where these posts prove it's not tricky to rock a rant.

Amazon, a company we've all grown to tolerate for over more than 30 years. From online shopping to streaming content to their innovations such as Alexa and drone-based delivery, you can't deny that they're a very versatile company. But one thing they can't seem to do right is music streaming.

My mom uses Amazon Music, and has the Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, as she likes to listen to music in her truck. Her favorites consist of various artists like Aerosmith, Jelly Roll, Ariana Grande, Five Finger Death Punch, and various 80s and 90s hip-hop artists.

But my biggest gripe with Amazon Music is their sudden urge to label songs with no objectionable content as [Explicit].

I first noticed this back in 2017, back when the movie "A Star Is Born" was all the rage. Its biggest hit, the acoustic classic "Shallow", performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who were the leads in the film, was marked as explicit, just because there were a few songs on the ASIB soundtrack with language in it. "Shallow" ITSELF contains no swears, so why the heck is IT and the other songs without swears labeled Explicit?!

They also recently labeled Adele's hit song "Rolling in the Deep" Explicit due to a lyric that is commonly misheard as a swear. The lyric officially written as "...and I'll lay your ship bare" is misheard as "...and I'll lay your s**t bare". The song is played with no edits on my area's top local variety stations WBMX (Mix 104.1), WMJX (Magic 106.7) and WPLM (Easy 99.1), which proves the lyric is "ship". Amazon's just in the wrong to label Adele's breakout hit as Explicit.

And for a final staple in the Amazon box, they labeled one of my childhood favorite late-80's hip-hop hits as Explicit, even though there's no swears in it AT ALL!

Remember the game SSX Tricky? That game, developed by EA Canada, and released under the "EA Sports BIG" brand, was one of my all time favorite sports games growing up due to its smooth controls, funny characters and voice lines, and overall excellent presentation, on both the audio and video fronts. 

The icing on the cake is the use of the song "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC as the game's theme song. A sample of its chorus are layered into each course's music track when you fill up your "tricky" meter or perform über tricks. Heck, they even matched the sample to each track's tempo! It's still one of the best snowboarding games ever created. 

Even today I associate that song with the fun times I had playing SSX Tricky on GameCube with my brother Justin.

So guess what Jeff Bezos's money munching corporation did? They labeled that ultra-nostalgic song that I associate with one of my all time favorite childhood sports games EXPLICIT!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF KAORI NISHIDAKE*, WHAT THE HECK WAS AMAZON THINKING?!

(*Kaori Nishidake is one of the snowboarders from the SSX series.)

And keep in mind, while the song has mildly suggestive lyrics, it contains not even a single swear!

And worst of all for Amazon, GUESS WHAT AGE RATING SSX TRICKY GOT BACK IN 2001?!

SSX Tricky was rated "E" for EVERYONE.

Yes, Amazon thinks that a song used as the theme for a snowboarding game that was rated E for Everyone back in '01 contains language that would've given the game an M FOR MATURE rating.

Yeah, I know "It's Tricky" came out 16 years before SSX Tricky did, but the latter increased the former's popularity, and as such, its connection to the franchise caused it to continue to appear in later SSX titles, such as the 2012 reboot.

Fans of the game even want to see a remake or remaster. Give me SSX Tricky Remastered on Switch and Switch 2! Then EA can have my cash.

Anyway, that's why I prefer to download music off of YouTube and listen to it on VLC. That way, I have control over how I label songs. If I want It's Tricky, i can download it off YouTube and listen to it without Amazon's stupid mislabeling.

Just saying. 

That's it for my rant on Amazon Music's mislabeling of non-explicit songs.

Veterans' Day: The Vets in My Life

Speaking of Veterans Day, I have some vets in my family that I'm proud of. My great-grandfather fought in WWII, and I have to say, it makes me proud to know there a Hart was there to help the Allies win. It shows that my family has the courage and bravery to tackle anything. My grandfather on my stepdad's side, Varnum (We call him Varney) is a Vietnam veteran, and he is another example of a brave, courageous man who fought for our country and kept it free.

These brave men were willing to risk their lives for our wonderful country, and fought to keep our nation free, and for that, I salute them. 🫡

To all of the veterans out there that are reading this post, thanks for your service, and have a great day!

It's Veteran's Day, Yet the Bulldozer Still Doesn't Care About America!

Welcome to The Chronicles of Trevor, where I just want to give actual sincere thanks to veterans, unlike the moron I'm talking about today.

Jeff Kuhner just won't stop being a disgrace to American politics. Instead of honoring veterans on this very special day, he's throwing a massive tantrum because of how the hospitals are treating his father, and "'"'"'helping illegals out before him'"'"'", and yet again, he called Mayor Wu CRAZY! He's still hating on Boston's first female Asian-American mayor. Also on the topic of racism, he said that diversity and multiculturalism is evil. Sounds like a neo-Nazi-esque remark, am I right? 

Also, as a member of a family with actual veterans, I don't think Jeff's father is a WWII vet, since his father came into Canada illegally from Croatia (hypocritical, am I right?) and as such, doesn't seem like he'd be in the war. Yet again, this proves that Jeff's nothing but a fake, a fraud, and a phony. 

I think that instead of the usual tantrum-throwing that Jeff does, he should've did a special show honoring veterans, and had listeners call in and give shoutouts to the vets in their family. Honestly, that would be so much better today than the usual happenings on

Yup, I made that logo. Because his show irks me to no end, and it advertises the show better than "The Kuhner Report", which sounds like a credible news source rather than an endless garbage-spewing fountain of lies, hate, racism, and misogyny.

Happy Veterans' Day everyone, and enjoy your day!

And The Bulldozer Keeps On Destroying America!

And welcome once again to The Chronicles of Trevor, where the only Red-Green Alliance there is is the labor union led by Santa's massive fleet of elves.

If you've read this blog over the past year or so, you probably know I am not a fan of Boston talk host Jeff Kuhner. His morning show has been an annoyance ever since I started at my day program, because my van driver, who is a nice guy otherwise, listens to Jeff's show, which in my opinion, is basically a far-right-winged moron, every morning, forcibly throwing a 4-hour-long tantrum directed at people and politicians that even just so as lean a sub-pixel to the left of the political scale.

As of this post, the worst things he's said/done in his show this week are:

- he chastized a caller for not making any sense, flat-out calling him stupid and a moron.

-He yet again said that Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is a Marxist and a Communist, and now states she's working with a so-called "'"'"'Red-Green Alliance'"'"'", Red meaning Communism and Green meaning Hamas supporters.

I think we all know the real, racist, and misogynistic reason why he's targeting Mayor Wu all the time. It's because she's the first Asian-American woman to be mayor of Boston. I think she's done fine for Boston. Sure, she isn't as much as a legend as the late Tom Menino, but she's still helped the communities of not just the city, but a lot of the suburbs as well. She's given the city a fresh outlook, and has given it more of a progressive flair.

All the self-proclaimed "Boston's Bulldozer" is doing is trying to clean up the truth by pushing it away from people, because after all, listeners are morons, am I right?

NO! Jeff can't fool me none. I just so happen to watch the local news, which, unless you're watching a Sinclair station, is much more middle-grounded, fair and balanced than some idiot on the radio rambling and making up false information.

If WRKO wants more listeners, they could turn the morning show into a WBZ 1030-produced call-in news show where listeners can call in and give their opinions on local news stories. Now that sounds like it could be better than...

Yup. I just went there. I made that logo and everything.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Bulldozing the Truth: 680 WRKO's Failure

This is The Chronicles of Trevor, where I don't care what your political views are, you can be my friend no matter what.

Like I have said in the past, 680 WRKO is a radio station that I have a major grudge against, due to their hate-filled far-right propaganda. It makes Sinclair Broadcast Group look like MSNBC in terms of their political values!

I especially have beef with the racist, misogynist blabbermouth that hosts in the morning, Jeff Kuhner. His show, titled "The Kuhner Report", which is probably titled that way to make it seem more reliable, is like a 5-hour long tantrum directed at people who such as lean a smidge to the left, which just so happened to be broadcast on the radio. 

Marconi must be spin-dashing like Sonic in his grave after hearing what Jeff has done to his wonderful invention.

But I've listed some things he's said, but if you wanna stay at this post, I'll list them again.

- He likes to flat-out call any and all democratic politicians radical, stupid, and other demeaning names. He even calls female politicians, like Boston mayor Michelle Wu, WITCHES! If Mayor Wu was a witch, she'd be Glinda, because she does good for the community. Jeff Kuhner is a WARLOCK for calling an Asian-American woman a witch, especially during a time where hate crimes against Asian-Americans are on the rise.

- He seems like the kind of guy who only cares what the extremists who agree with and follow his propaganda say, and shuts down any and all people who believe the ACTUAL truth. Doesn't that sound like a cult leader? Kuhner's Kult, as I call them, makes the 'ditto-heads' of the former Rush Limbaugh Show look like a religious and charitable organization. 

- His parents were born in Croatia, and illegally immigrated to Canada, and I'm sure he didn't even get a citizenship card to live here in the States, as he doesn't even know how this country even works half of the time. Yet he still wants undocumented immigrants out of the country! Isn't that such a hypocritical statement? Only far-right morons who believe "'"'PrEsiDEnT'"'" Trump is the second coming of Jesus would be that idiotic.

- Just before a commercial break, he shouted "LET'S GO BRANDON", which was a term used by extremists like him to insult the president. The term gained popularity after a NASCAR race that aired on NBC had the winner, whose first name was Brandon, up on Victory Lane, and the audience starting chanting "F*** Joe Biden". NBC's commentators tried to cover up the explicit and politically charged chant, by saying that ths crowds were chanting "Let's Go Brandon". This became an inside meme in the extremist group, and they actually use it to insult the former president at any cost.

All of these factors prove that 680 WRKO should be fined by the "fellas at the freakin' FCC" for their false information and hate-spreading. Or at least, bring back the Television Code, and apply a similar "Radio Code" so that 680 could actually have unbiased shows. Or better yet, the FCC could revoke the license, and sell it to a local company, who would turn it into what it was pre-1981, a music station.

The latter would be the better option though, as there is only 2 stations I know of on the AM dial that play music. 1050 WMEX, and 720 WJIB. Adding a 3rd one, at a well-established frequency like 680 kHz would really be a good idea.

Besides, I'm sure fellow 'RKO host Howie Carr could move online, because he's got a network and more time and money than Jeff does.

One-Sided Ads, a Blabbering Moron, and So-Called Witchcraft: My Beef With People who Hate Michelle Wu

Welcome to The Chronicles of Trevor, where racism and misogyny are not tolerated!

Politics Warning: Please respect my opinions.

So I just got very mad today. I was at a party for my girlfriend Ashley's sister Kellie, and just before we started going home, an ad for Boston mayoral candidate Josh Kraft came on. I muttered to myself, "oh god this ad again? He's in it to help businesses". One of the guests overheard me and started going all back and forth about protesting at the current mayor Mayor Wu's house about her so-called "communism", and flatout calling her a witch. SOUND FAMILIAR? I was talking back rather angrily, and needed to calm down. If WHDH 7 didn't air Josh Kraft's ad, this WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!

(Note: I apologized for my actions)

But let me get this straight. I know why all these people are trying to say Josh Kraft will "SaVe BoStOn."

1. The only political ads playing on TV are for the Kraft campaign.

Josh Kraft is just using his family's heaping amount of money (his family has owned the New England Patriots since 1994) in order to overshadow Michelle Wu's campaign almost completely and attack her by any means necessary. That is an indirect form of 'buying votes', which is downright illegal!

2. Completely hiding the true reason why they are attacking Mayor Wu.

My major theory as to why Michelle Wu is being attacked like there's no tomorrow is that she's the first female Asian-American mayor of the city of Boston. Which leads me to...

3. People keep saying that Michelle Wu is a Communist and a Witch.

Like I said, these people are calling an important female Asian-American figure these terrible names. That is downright racist and misogynistic!!!

And that third reason reminds me of how Jeff Kuhner keeps blabbering away about how she's supposedly causing undocumented immigrants to come into our country, when it's TRUMP'S FAULT ALL ALONG! Just saying.

In my opinion, Josh Kraft is only in it for the cash, and to help businesses and not the people. Mayor Wu is a people person, and shouldn't be treated like total garbage just because she's the first female Asian-American mayor of Boston.

But that's my opinion, and I just wanted to vent. All in all, I'm chronicling my life, right?

Anyway, Ashley kept me calm when I was cooling down in the car. She was worried about me, and I am so thankful to have a girlfriend like her. It's no wonder I've been with her for over a year.

The Cracker Barrel Controversy, and How I'd Rebrand.

 This is The Chronicles of Trevor, a blog who will keep its design the same, even though there's no mobile view.

Anyway, there's recently been a kerfuffle over a design change at Cracker Barrel, a restaurant chain that doesn't even have any locations around me at all. 

You might be asking yourself, "Why is Trevor covering this change when he's never even been to a Cracker Barrel?"

I'm saying "Well, humble reader, I'm covering this on my blog because I am interested in how people react to logo changes.

The higher-ups at Cracker Barrel decided to change their logo from a design introduced in 1977, to a simplified modern logo.

People all around the country, including That Annoying Coward in Office, complained in thousands at the updated logos blandness, and tried to claim the update as "wOkE" due to the fact that the company has sponsored LGBTQ+ events. 

As a person with a trans cousin, I hate when people go off on companies for actually supporting people in that community, all while several big companies only change their logo to rainbow for a month to pretend to care about the community. I'm sure said cousin (her name is Jaylin) would agree with me.

She's the one on the left in the photo (to my right).

But enough about my family, even though I love them a lot, let's take it back to the subject

Cracker Barrel decided to bring the 2015 logo back after a week, much to the relief of America's Annoying Orange, and the chain's fans alike.

The old/current Cracker Barrel logo was devised in 1977, made into an SVG vector drawing in 2008, and was slightly updated in 2015. I think they wanted to go for for a simpler logo, as the 1970's-era design was busy, and couldn't be scaled down without looking like a yellow-and-brown smudge. The 'Old Timer', Uncle Herschel, and his barrel, are full of detail that would be washed away at smaller sizes, and don't even get me started on the sign next to Herschel and the barrel. I know It's supposed to look like an 1800's-era sign, but it looks like more a misshapen and oddly-colored bootleg Jelly-Belly logo, or even worse, a mushy, rotten potato. Doesn't make me want to eat there.

I came up with a updated three-tiered logo system concept for a rebranded Cracker Barrel that could've worked in the long run.

Here's my take on a primary logo.

I traced over Uncle Herschel from the 1977 design, and rendered him as a silhouette, and replaced the odd bean-esque shape of the sign with a roundel design containing every element of the logo. I even added a 'Since 1969' caption to help honor the history of the chain. And of course, the golden-yellow and brown color pallete is staying.

This logo would be used in the signs of the chain's locations, at the end of TV commercials, on print materials and ads, and on clothes sold in the Country Store.

I also came up with a small-scale logo, shown below.

This design utilizes the updated barrel from my primary logo and tilts it at an angle. The Old-Timer and "Old Country Store" legend is removed for the purpose of clarity, and the establishment year sign was made bigger and moved in its place.

This logo would be printed on receipts, embroidered on servers' aprons, and printed as tags on items in the Country Stores of each restaurant.

And finally, for fun, I made a design I call the "CB Monogram Device".

This monogram references the way the uppercase C and uppercase B in the chain's name interlocks in the 1977 and 2015 logos. The "CB Monogram Device" will be seen at the start of TV commercials, on some items in the Country Stores, and on coasters and the peg games on the restaurant's tables.

This three-tiered logo system heavily references and keeps the colors of the classic 1977 and 2015 logos, while adding a modern level of flexibility to the Cracker Barrel brand.

I hope you enjoyed my redesigns, and thanks for taking a look at my blog!

Music on AM Radio: The Good, the Bad, and the Tinny (and more)

Welcome to The Chronicles of Trevor, where the only waves you'll expect are the ones in this photo.

Radio. A medium that most people would describe as "dying" or "dated". Most people nowadays like to stream their music on Spotify or play their downloaded music on VLC or other media players, but I still listen to Marconi's wondrous invention.

AM radio in the Boston area is a topic I've covered a handful of times here on TCOT. I've made posts about the lies and hatred spread on 680 WRKO, and my opinions on WMEX 1510, and how they're keeping music alive on AM.

But I'm here to talk about why AM radio sometimes isn't a good format for music in my honest opinion.

The spark that caused me to make this post was WJIB 720 (Cambridge) playing "The Times They Are a-Changin'" by Bob Dylan. During the instrumental breaks, as normal for Bob Dylan songs, he pulls out a harmonica. But instead of his usual single-note playing (which I don't mind), he plays high-pitched, tinny chords, something known to irk me, but of course the song is from the 60s, and I was born in 2002. 

But due to the station's low quality sound and the way AM Radio works, the harmonica was drowning out the lead and bass guitars in the song, especially in the higher-pitched chords, causing me even more discomfort. Someone should change WJIB 720's call letters to WJAB, because it felt like the world's thinnest and sharpest knife being forcefully JABbed into my eardrums DIAGONALLY! That just makes me not want to listen to WJIB all together. Plus, they are a non-commercial station funded by donations. So you could say I'm not gonna donate to them if they keep blasting my eardrums out with crappy harmonica solos. I'd rather use my hard-earned money to donate to WGBH and its stations, especially after the Dumb Orange Dude in Office (DODO) decided to slowly close down the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I mean, WHY DID HE HAVE THE GUTS TO DO THAT?! 

The DODO also keeps on extending the deadline for the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications (PAFACA) Act, the ruling that states that ByteDance has to sell TikTok's US operations to an American company, or it will get banned. I for one want to see a PAFACA-induced ban of TikTok happen, because of the racist, ableist, sexist, and downright dangerous challenges, its eyesore of a logo, the toxicity of the community, and the way music has been ruined thanks to unoriginal content. 

But back to the subject of Radio. Over on the FM dial, there are music stations worth listening to if you want a non-commercial music station. Emerson College in Boston owns and operates 88.9 WERS, which plays mostly indie rock in the mornings and afternoons, and jazz and other genres later in the day. WGBH owns and operates 99.5 WCRB, a station that plays classical music. It used to be a commercial station owned by Nassau Broadcasting, but WGBH bought the station, and kept the classical format. This station is known for being the first one to obtain an FCC waiver regarding modulation percentage rules. They did this to improve the dynamic range of the sound quality. They also applied for an FCC waiver regarding the station ID requirement, so that live broadcasts of classical music don't have to be interrupted by an announcer identifying the station during a piece.

Long story short, The AM dial is fine for some songs, but not for others.

TikTok Still Grinds My Gears, Even in 2025!

 Welcome to The Chronicles of Trevor, where silence is golden.

If you know me, you probably know that I hate TikTok with a fiery passion. There are many reasons for it. I hate its app icon, as it causes me to get a splitting headache. I hate that it's owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based company that is known to steal the data of millions of users, and I also hate the unoriginal content that spews out of there, like the overuse of specific clips of audio, or "sounds", like that chipmunk'd "oH No nO No nO No" song, and similar sped-up tracks.

But there is still some major developments in the reasons why I hate TikTok.

First, there's a popular sound going around that has a tinny harmonica solo in it. Yup! An instrument played in a way I hate, blaring ever so screechily on an app with an icon that hurts my eyes? Heck no! The solo sounds like a knockoff of the various breaks in Billy Joel's iconic hit, "Piano Man", which adds more salt to the wounds of my ruptured eardrums. So whenever my mom uses TikTok, and that sound plays, and I hear "BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, BWEE-BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, BWEE-BWEEEEEEEEE BWEE-BWEEEEEEEEE BWEE-BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE", I feel like the world's smallest and sharpest adamantium knife is getting repeatedly shoved into my eardrums.

Also, they brought back the 2018-2020 version of the intrusive watermark (the one that has the "eighth note" logo vibrating rather obnoxiously), but instead of it being in the corners, where you could easily crop it out of view with your favorite video editor, it is on the edges of the screen, like how the 2020-2023 version of the watermark (which has a still note logo) was. Also, the 2018 watermark has the logo in a horizontal position, where the 2020 one is less cluttered due to being in a vertical position.

And the fact that The Annoying Cheeto in Office keeps extending the deadline for the PAFACA* act (the act which calls on TikTok's owners to sell its operations to a buyer based in a US-allied country, or it gets banned), all while continuing to Make America Terrible Again, just makes me feel ashamed to be in this country. 

I just wish that the PAFACA act's deadline didn't keep getting extended, because I want to see my least favorite social media get wiped off the face of this country!

America has banned Huawei devices, so why not TikTok?

*PAFACA means "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications".
