That's the spill for now

here’s the scoop. Fox is reportedly in talks to join the group of investors looking to buy TikTok’s U.S. operations. No surprise—TikTok’s been under fire for a while now with all the drama about its ties to China. The government’s been tossing around the idea of banning it or forcing a sell-off, and this move with Fox could be one of the plays to keep it alive in the States.

If Fox hops in, that means TikTok’s U.S. version could end up under the watch of a major media company instead of its current owners. That could shift how the app looks and feels down the road. Some folks think it’s a way to secure the platform and keep the government happy, others think it might mess with the vibe that made TikTok pop off in the first place.

Right now, though, it’s just talks. Nothing official, nothing locked in. So TikTok’s future in the U.S. is still kinda hanging in the air. For now, people are just scrolling like normal, waiting to see if the app stays the same, gets remixed, or ends up gone.

Twitter is cooked again 💀 — Charlie Kirk reportedly shot dead (timeline in shambles rn), MrBeast dropping a wild update that got everyone screaming “bro is the economy now,” and random chaos like Drake unfollowing half the industry, Roblox servers crashing mid-Obby, and Doja Cat announcing some demonic collab that’s already giving TikTok thinkpieces 😭.
