I always find it funny when folks discount a person's entire catalogue of work based on one bad take. I routinely see things where folks I watch are comically wrong on a topic. That doesn't discount their insight or mean they are morally bankrupt. Heck, I'm sure folks think the same of my work 1/2 🧵

Possibly my biggest frustration with buying tech products is the uselessness of reviews for longterm reliability. I once bought a chromebook because it was the cheapest one I could find. It lasted 8 years. I recently bought one that was said to be the best. It lasted less than a year.

Im going to get obnoxiously korean in this game...

I constantly vacillate on whether I should respond to youtube comments. Im not sure if it helps or hurts anything...

Tony gilroy's interview where he talks about a conversation with the holder of star wars lore is enlightening. How many people have heard of the force, seen a lightsaber, or know about the main 4 characters? "Nobody" We should be using this perspective more in fantasy in general. 1/3 🧵

This is a weirdly accurate depiction of the mission.

I'm not a coffee snob. I'm having a decaf Maxim coffee and i feel like i'm on a mini vacation. it doesn't take much.

I got to try this out with @aavoigt.bsky.social and @williamsrd.bsky.social and it was a blast! Check it out!

I am starting to think this may be the most important video I've done, and i kind of hate that... youtu.be/76eOdYTf9s0?...

I got dogpiled by some folks for discussing bioessentialism in dnd and anti-mixed race elements of curse of strahd. Another youtuber/influencer, who at the time had many, many more followers than me, called it out as nonsense prior to release. I have more followers than him now... 😎

I'min a meeting with some French co workers located in Paris and I'm having to stop myself from expressing my condolences for what the Empire did on Ghorman...

I would watch a Mon Mothma show where we see the galactic civil war from the perspective of those who fought in the war and never saw luke do anything magical with the force Even/especially if that show undermined the "great man" view of the original trilogy to show that ordinary people won the war

I always think it's funny how expressing the most basic compassion for humanity will mark you as a woke leftist. Think genocide is bad regardless of who is perpetrting it? Think trans people should have rights? Think systemic racism is bad? Think women should have autonomy? Marxist commie!🤷🏾‍♂️

so... andor... wow.

I will not be able to binge andor tonight. So I may be off social media for a little bit.

it's funny and sad that whenever i talk to my friends and we ask how the other is doing the response is some variation of: "Aside from living in a fascist country... I'm doing great!"

I feel for viewers sometimes I get folks clicking on my channel expecting a DM advice video and getting a video essay They want tips and they get historical background or analysis And I get it, there are different expectations You don't ask why there are no action scenes in your rom com...

I want to use this phasing in a sentence...

This is how I research for videos. Reading pdfs and marking them up/making notes. Oddly, this post owes a lot to @dreamwisp.bsky.social as they recommended the book and the notebook...

I may just be a cishet dude, But I have been listening to Ani Difranco since before most of you were born 🤷🏾‍♂️

I just found out that Joseph Nye, author of the book Soft Power among others, passed away. He was a founder of neoliberalism as an international relations theory. (Not to be confused with neoliberalism as a political economic theory. That is different.) Very influential in the IR world.

i'm finally getting to see andor season 2. holy crap. no spoilers, i'm only 3 episodes in. I'm frustrated because while i make videos, i don't do media analysis. And i know "you can do it, it's your channel" but as anyone who makes videos can tell you, it's a skill like any other.

My best friend and I share tools to help focus One of the most frustrating things about that is we generally have to pay more money for a tool that does less than the premium product. Like electric typewriters that cost more than laptops. we call it the adhd tax.

Non-Catholics: "Did we get a woke pope or a hitler pope?" Current & former Catholics: "Okay so here's the thing about Catholicism..."

What in the actual shit is this?

Law firms losing clients for being cowards seems like a given. We are supposed to be "zealous advocates" not "spineless boot lickers" If we abandon the "rule of law" then the entire profession is out the window.

Moved to a different coffee shop. Better music, good oat latte, better chairs, part of Asian Donut Mafia.

I listen to a lot of coffee shop Playlists to help focus for work. Today, due to circumstances, I'm working in a local coffee shop. They are playing techno remixes of rock songs from the 70s-early 2000s. It's awful... Im trying to support you, local business! Stop making me regret that!

I find myself thinking a lot about the song "Anthem" from Chess recently.
