TikTokers Say App is ‘Part of American Life’ in Lawsuit Against U.S. Gov

A coalition of TikTok creators filed a joint lawsuit Tuesday against the U.S. government in hopes of preventing the popular social network from being banned early next year.

The lawsuit, filed by eight influencers, asserted that the potential ban would not only strip them of their way of living, but rob others of a critical “part of American life.”

The 33-page complaint largely echoes the same arguments TikTok made in a lawsuit it filed itself last week, claiming that a ban of the social network would be a First Amendment violation that robs 170 million U.S. users of their freedom.

Both suits come less than a month after lawmakers passed—and Joe Biden signed—a law with bipartisan support that ordered ByteDance to sell TikTok, which is estimated to be worth tens of billions, to a…

Community group hosting AGM for Glasgow’s only castle

Friends of Crookston Castle is an association which aims to increase awareness, knowledge and enjoyment of the building and its neighbouring communities. 

The castle, situated on Brockburn Road, was founded in the 1100s by Robert De Croc and was later fortified by the Stewarts of Darnley around 1400. 

Historic Environment Scotland has described the castle’s layout as “almost unique in Scotland”. 

Extensively repaired following a siege in 1544, it is the only surviving mediaeval castle in the City of Glasgow and stands as a reminder of the area’s former rural character and connections with historic figures including Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott.

From the hilltop position, you can get an excellent view of south-east…

During an interview with Whoopi Goldberg on a recent episode of her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the singer said she was watching a taped performance of herself singing and didn’t recognize herself on the TV screen.

“We were in my house in New York, like, watching it,” the 42-year-old said, “and then all of a sudden I paused and I was like, ‘Who the f–k is that?’ I swear to god, it sounds insane.”

Clarkson added that even her close circle of friends and colleagues hadn’t noticed her weight gain, saying, “I looked at my manger … and she was like, ‘I’m kind of as shocked as you.’ I think [it’s] because your people are with…
