Thinking about "was the fall of Rome this stupid"

This is the first time someone's commented "I think I know you??" and has been correct 😂 Wild experience reading this! And on a video with sub-5k views, too.

“Unemployed” is the web insult that brings out the worst in me. Aka it makes me want to reply, “ha, you FOOL! I actually have a job that I like quite a lot!” until I remember that’s not the point and this person doesn’t care.

I actually agree with this one. The death of genuine activism in our communities has made this harder Capping off the way the day started, one of the most effective things for SSM was people coming out We think of that as personal, but Harvey Milk was very clear: Coming out is activism

Someday I'm going to write a book and 12 people will make this video about it. I'll lay in a hole for a while.

Ah now I get it, the reason I don't like Youtube Studio is all of the ominous ellipses

hot damn this is my 5th time watching this video and I still can't get over it www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5wL...

Wow, good idea Youtube. I shall simply make The Anthropocene Reviewed Podcast. I hope no one has thought of doing that yet.

Oh right I released another video. I could just NOT talk about activism/politics and then I wouldn't be scared of other people telling me I'm dumb/a lib/an opp. Mostly, people don't do that. But this shit can get so mean; voluntarily jumping into the fray feels silly. Anyway: youtu.be/j16a4msQz4w

A video that was in the making for two+ years. It was supposed to be a silly 5 minutes about how the map in the goofy movie sucks. Except, what if it wasn't supposed to not suck? What if the suck is the point!? What if inaccuracy doesn't actually suck at all!? Oh noo www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncnh...

Aiiiightttt. First video in a lil series. I was nervous to post this because I am Employed™, but I know that a lot of folks are looking for ways to channel energy right now, and I'm a firm believer that the first place to start is your workplace, if you have one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MflZ...

We always knew that "move fast and break things" was a stupid AF idea for an entire industry, but to bring it to the government is... just a new level of stupid. This is what happens when you import tech supremacy ideas into other spheres.

If you want to call your reps but are nervous about confrontation, here's an easy way to start: Call reps you LIKE and say THANK YOU. You don't only need to call the reps you disagree with after they do something sucky. You can call the reps who are standing up for you and express that it matters.

Have i mentioned the app 5calls? 🤣 go tell your senator you’ll take the agency that protects us from hostile business practices. I’m good on the $3.

5Calls is super easy to use. They say it takes 5 minutes and they are ✨accurate.✨ They give you more than a call script, they provide key dates+facts+names so you can brush up before calling. Don't just vent to your friends, put your senator on speed dial 😌) 5calls.org

Republican members of Congress aren’t assessing right or wrong, they’re assessing if the propaganda machine is holding up as the consequences start to appear. They may act in self-preservation if they start to believe that their media ecosystem won’t protect them.

A tremendous video essay about AI, writing, selfhood, poetry, art, and plosives - highly recommended!

If you let me convince you to watch one video this year, let it be this one. This is AI analysis at its best: pro-human. It looks in equal measure at what AI is not, and at what humans ✨are✨. It’s a celebration of culture and creativity and friends 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5wL...

I'm a representative for the Democrats. A decade ago a grand piano fell on my head and ever since then, my memory restarts every 45 minutes. I am confident our existing legislative playbook will be able to handle this crisis.
