Is #TikTok banned in the #UnitedStates or not? Asking for a friend who deleted the app when its #Chinese CEO was invited to an inauguration that the #American public was excluded from.

Congress banned it, and #DonaldTheDeplorable paused it on the #inauguration of #AmericanCarnage2.0, but the law banning it only allows a pause “if there’s evidence that negotiations for ByteDance to divest are underway”, which there is not. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/03/16/what-we-know-about-trumps-tiktok-deal-as-reports-suggest-oracle-could-take-lead-role/

Bioscoopketen Pathé vertoont vanaf 27 maart de succesvolle Chinese animatiefilm Ne Zha 2. De film draait dan in alle Pathé-bioscopen, zowel in 2D als in IMAX. Het is voor het eerst dat de grootste bioscoopexploitant van Nederland een Chinese animatiefilm op deze manier uitbrengt.

Buying things in cash from Chinatown grocers is quite a bit cheaper than buying from the online Asian grocer I use.

Something that costs $9.99 online is $8.50. I can also try different new restaurants as they open. Fave recent new Chinatown spot is Rice Roll Express which has good freshly made cheung fan. Saw a new takeout dimsum spot today that looks better than the one TikTok tells people to go to.

My Chinatown strategy is, if I see a large number of old Chinese aunties in line, I stand in it and get what they get.

It’s never let me down

I also prefer Chinatown to the west side Chinese grocers. It’s just more density of cool things to see.

Hell money: in Taoist Chinese culture, we burn paper money for our ancestors to use in hell

(Yes we believe everybody goes to hell)

Heaven and hell are sort of the same (doesn’t have the Christian interpretation)

I’m not up to date on dates but I think Qing Ming festival is around the corner
