Greetings my friends and if you’ve already been following along with any of my TikTok related posts, I say “Welcome Back”. As expected, I have returned to shine a little spotlight on the Official Ken Pierce Media profile based on my hitting another increment of “50”. Believe it or not we are at a grand total now of “750” videos on the TikTok and that’s kind of awesome. Unlike some of my other clips, this one is from just the other day when I snagged the pile of comics from my local shop. I’ve been enjoying the share of this kind of clip because I think it helps collectors know what their peers are getting and might send them off to the shops nearest them to secure an issue or two. This weeks batch was an interesting one which you can see for yourself so without any further adieu, presenting the 750th TikTok from Ken Pierce Media.

From Automattics News Blog:
Since Automattic acquired Tumblr we’ve made it more efficient, grown its revenue, and worked to improve the platform. But there’s one part of the plan that we haven’t yet started, which is to run Tumblr on WordPress. I’m pleased to say we’re kicking off that project now!

We’re not talking about changing Tumblr. We’re not turning Tumblr into WordPress. That would defeat the purpose. We acquired Tumblr to benefit from its differences and strengths, not to water it down. We love Tumblr’s streamlined posting experience and its current product direction. We’re not changing that. We’re talking about running Tumblr’s backend on WordPress. You won’t even notice a difference from the outside.

Running Tumblr on WordPress will make it easier to share our work across platforms. We can build something once and bring it to both WordPress and Tumblr. We can run Tumblr on the rock-solid infrastructure behind WordPress.com. Tumblr will benefit from the collective effort that goes into the open source WordPress project. And WordPress will benefit from the tools and creativity we invest into Tumblr and contribute back to WordPress.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 700th Clip on TikTok

Hello there my fine Friends of the Ken Pierce Media realm, as anticipated since the last time that this was done, its once again time to let you know that the Official TikTok for KPM has achieved another one of its plateaus and another “50” clips have gone online. Pressing “publish” on the 700th clip is rather cool since that is a good increment to hit. It’s a clip that also celebrates something that we love very much which is “The Hottest Band In The World” KISS. This particular one was a relatively cool find because it was one of those Walmart exclusives I think and I found it on eBay as a complete set. The folks at Figpin had made a “Love Gun” set of the band some years ago and then followed up with a “Double Platinum” edition. Believe it or not, “Double Platinum” was one of the first KISS records that I owned based on my vintage and while I don’t have a Walmart nearby my home, finding this set on eBay for an irresistible price made it a must have. I recorded this clip shortly after they arrived so here now is Clip #700 on The Official Ken Pierce Media TikTok.

Hello my friends and good morning to you all. As previously mentioned, I’ve been using the Ken Pierce Media website as the senior editorial voice on sharing some of the approvals that we are getting for the pair of websites under our creative command. Since our launch in the middle of the pandemic 2020, I’ve been doing my best to have KPM be the executive branch and it continues to flow very smoothly which is a very good thing. That being said, I have just received word that my Piercing Ken website, aka “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” has been approved as media for the just around the corner Curve New York Summer Showcase.

Good afternoon my friends and supporters of the Ken Pierce Media High Command, I am hoping that the day has started out great for you. If you’re located within our own NYC sphere, its my hope that you are well-hydrated and in some kind of air conditioning since its been so hot out there for the past few days including today. So I’m here once more with an announcement and one that I really look forward to doing each and every year. Today is the day of the Toy Insider’s annual “Sweet Suite” event for 2024 and will be held at an event space known as the Glasshouse.
