Don't know why BBC would waste their time when the producers can just go onto YouTube, watch any video essay within the last three or so years, and have said essay explain why Joanne is a modern day anti-trans Nazi and Holocaust denier.

"You know the only good part of making videos? What if I shoved your channel into a chatbox and did it for you? My product steals the only thing you enjoy doing! The chatbox will steal your work, make it worse and then I charge you money for it! Limited time offer!"
Hi,
Most channels I've come across share one bottleneck: solid topics exist, but ideas and scripts swallow up everything.

That's exactly where I come in; I take care of both ideation and scripting for YouTubers.

Your first script costs nothing, whatever happens afterward. Anything after the first script is where my payment comes in.

If it would help, I can put together some past work samples and get them to you.

All it takes is a reply from you, and I'll write it without charging you a cent.

There’s an interview where Bob Odenkirk is asked if there are any Saul lines from Breaking Bad he would change, or don’t feel true to him, after having done all of Better Call Saul, and he immediately goes Yes. And it’s so funny because if you ask literally anyone, everyone already knows the line

Like I've been saying, Jacob Geller is going the Andrew Callaghan route and hoping people forget in six months or so. Kind of hard to forget about you admitting you're a, you know, date rapist.😠

I also believe in restorative justice but I don't think that means you get to become a pillar of a community and garner an audience and an income that relies solely on everyone including yourself staying silent about your actions. In the VIDEO GAME SPHERE no less.

On Jacob Geller
I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

Monet rarely painted people after Camille’s death. Some critics see this as grief’s shadow; others argue his interest shifted naturally toward landscapes.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

COVID helped fuel the rise of the far right globally. The uncertainty, grief, anger, and fear made for fertile ground for conspiracist thinking and right-wing indoctrination. Is it one of many drivers? Yes. But it’s an important factor nonetheless—and one that is too often overlooked and unexamined
