Post Election TikTok

11/14/24 • 30 min

Welp, the election happened, and Dena and Catalina start off the episode with some reflections on the TikTok of it all. While some users are unfollowing people they are surprised to find out are Trump supporters, others like @deactivatedave wonder how they thought otherwise in the first place. @hannahkosh also covers Olivia Rodrigo’s decision to remove her song entirely from the platform after it was used in a celebratory Republican video. The ladies also discuss the backlash over Nicole Scherzinger, highlighting videos by creators @crawlita,@ryinskott, @itsjustlyle_ and @theatreislife. Dena shares a marathon follow up from @dianabideamusic, trombone player @allym00re, and sorority chef @oldscoolkevmo. Catalina discusses the BookTok election fallout and an amazing video by @alifeonbooks. In the NYC segment @bentonmcclintock discusses the fire in Prospect Park and @erikaveurink is annoyed people are trying to make Gowanus the hot new spot. To close, the girls discuss Rita’s chicken cutlets, including videos by @cucinapalermo, @nicolettejj2, @nmsfin.
