Well, they said it would be banned and here we are. TikTok is effectively inaccessible in the United States of America to protect our interests and for National Security sake. You’re seeing this notice super early in the morning if you’re still awake but I can say that I lost access to my account at around 10PM EST after I had updated the profile just a little bit. Let’s review the timeline of this.

The Timeline:
4/23/2024: The Senate passed legislation to force the Chinese owned TikTok to be sold to a US Owner or be banned in the coming months.
4/24: President Biden signs the legislation for TikTok to be banned in the United States unless its sold by ByteDance to a US owner.
1/17/25: Supreme Court Unanimously upholds the Federal Law to ban TikTok with only hours to go before its Official Ban Date.
1/18/2025: TikTok goes offline in the United States. A few hours on the day before it was supposed to. A message seen on the application informs its 170M strong user base that now President Donald Trump would look to working on solution to resolve this.

Greetings friends and those who are TikTokking along with the Ken Pierce Media profile on the TikTok platform. I’ve hit another plateau and reached the increment a little faster as I had expected since I was doing more than one clip per day. Effective immediately there are now a grand total of “850” videos on the account and this latest one comes from a recent visit to the Five Below store not far from Union Square. I was off to an art event at the time and it was here that I managed to get my hands on the complete set of Janda’s “Transformers” MetalFigs. There are only four of them and since they had the lot and for such a nice price I could not resist. You can see for yourself as I proudly present the 850th TikTok from Ken Pierce Media.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 800th Clip on TikTok

Well hello again my friends and “Welcome Back” to our occasionally popping up series about the Official Ken Pierce Media TikTok profile. Dedicated readers already know this but for the newbies in the room who have just arrived I do his for each increment of “50” posts. It’s almost hard to believe that I am now at “800” videos on TikTok because it was a platform that I never really wanted to begin using in the first place. Since the time of my first creating a profile, which was in 2021, it would take more than a year before I even used it. Longtime readers of the stuff happening on PiercingMetal will be amused at the clip that arrived for this plateau since its a hefty tome that is all about “The Hottest Band In The World” KISS. This is a Quarto Book by Martin Popoff and takes the reader through KISStory. They are my very favorite band ever and now here’s the 800th TikTok from Ken Pierce Media.

Here’s a clip from the NY NOW Summer Market where I leafed through a copy of “KISS at 50” from @QuartobooksUS and Martin Popoff. Learn why they were “The Hottest Band In The World” #fyp #foryoupage #quartobooks #kiss #martinpopoff #nynow #piercingmetal

Ken Pierce Media Posts 750th Clip on TikTok

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.

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.
