For all that is wrong with TikTok, here is why I love it. I genuinely love this App. I believe this App will change and has changed the world in a way that a lot of people donot recognize yet. I believe that TikTok is the internet, meaning it is that generational creation that spawn’s generational creation.

Google hates tiktok for that. Google search is now used significantly less than ever before because of tiktok. The how to’s are now being searched on TT. It’s the new way to consume entertainment, information and DIY’s. This is why YouTube had to do shorts…bite sized info is what’s in. Even content creators on YT are now realizing that shorts are better than their videos. It reaches a bigger audience.

TT changed the game.
 
I called my dad yesterday to see how he was doing with his chemo. He told me that his brother, my uncle called him a couple of days ago to check up on him. A little back story about my uncle. He is the baby of the family. He has been in and out of jail and was hooked on crack and heroine. He has cleaned himself up pretty good. What he told my dad kinda of shocked me, but at the same time it was coming from someone talking to his big brother. He told my dad "please stop smoking". In the past couple of years, they have loss 3 brothers and one sister that has dementia. He is all he has left, so it kinda of broke me to hear him say that.

Google exec fired after a female boss groped him at drunken bash, suit says

A Google executive claims he was booted by the tech giant for rejecting a high-ranking female colleague’s grabby advances at a posh company dinner.

A Google executive claims he was booted by the tech giant for rejecting a high-ranking female colleague’s grabby advances at a posh company dinner.

Ryan Olohan, 48, accuses Google of firing him after one its top executives, Tiffany Miller, groped him at a Chelsea restaurant in December 2019 and told him she knew he liked Asian women — which Miller is, according to a blockbuster November federal lawsuit filed in Manhattan.

Miller, director of Google’s programmatic media, rubbed Olohan’s abs, complimented his physique, and told him her marriage lacked “spice,” according to court papers.

The alleged hands-on encounter unfolded during a drunken company gathering at Fig & Olive on West 13th Street shortly after Olohan was promoted to managing director of food, beverages, and restaurants and joined a new management team that included Miller in Google’s Manhattan offices, according to the lawsuit.

While Olohan, a married father of seven, said he was initially uncomfortable bringing up the incident because many of his colleagues were drunk, his co-workers later chalked up the behavior to “Tiffany being Tiffany,” court papers say.

Olohan said he reported the issue to Google’s human resources department the following week, but nothing ever came of the complaint.

The HR rep “openly admitted … that if the complaint was ‘in reverse’ — a female accusing a white male of harassment — the complaint would certainly be escalated,” according to the lawsuit.

Olohan claims Miller began retaliating against him after he made the complaint by criticizing him and reporting him to human resources for “microaggressions,” although the complaint does not specify what Miller accused him of.

The retaliation allegedly continued at a Google-hosted event in December 2021 where Miller drunkenly admonished Olohan in front of his colleagues. The rancor was so bad that colleagues encouraged Miller to move to the other end of the table, according to the lawsuit.

Miller later apologized and “although Google was aware that Miller’s continued harassment of Olohan stemmed from his rejection of her sexual advances, it again took no action,” the suit claims.

Miller drunkenly berated Olohan yet again during a company get-together at a karaoke bar in April 2022, where she mocked him upon arrival and reiterated that she knew he preferred Asian women over white women — knowing that Olohan’s wife is Asian, according to court papers.

Olohan said he began feeling increasing pressure from his supervisor, who told him that there were “obviously too many white guys” on his management team. In July he was encouraged to fire a male employee to make room on his team for a woman, the suit claims.

The following month, Google fired Olohan, ending his employment after 16 years at the company.

During a videoconference call, Olohan said he was told by the Google Employee Investigations team that he was being fired because he was not “inclusive.”

When he asked why he was non-inclusive, Olohan was told he had shown favoritism toward high-performing employees and that he was “ableist” for commenting on other employees’ “walking pace.”

Olohan’s lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, names both Google and Miller as defendants and accuses them of discrimination, retaliation, and fostering a hostile work environment.

In a statement to The Post, a spokesman for Miller denied the accusations against his client.

“This lawsuit is a fictional account of events filled with numerous falsehoods, fabricated by a disgruntled ex-employee, who was senior to Ms. Miller at Google,” the spokesman said. “Ms. Miller never made any ‘advance’ toward Mr. Olohan, which witnesses can readily corroborate.”
