The YouTube comments I’m most baffled by are ones that criticise me for ignoring topics that are thoroughly covered in the video. I dream of having such confidence to tell a creator what their video is about even while knowing I haven’t actually watched it.

New video! It’s a question we’ve debated for millennia. But generative AI has forced us to come up with an answer and quick. Does AI count as art? youtu.be/A7C00C2T6K0?...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I’m sure most people who follow me will know about this, but thought I’d give a shout out to Lindsay Ellis’s excellent video about Dolly Parton, which in lieu of Dolly’s passing, Lindsay has put on YouTube for a limited time. youtu.be/uJuKN0chAZk?...

That feeling when you indulge your curiosity about a random meme and then one spelunking trip down a rabbit hole later you’re sad because you found out the succulent Chinese meal guy was a massive nazi who threw parties for Hitler’s birthday.

My Potter video has been getting more TERFy comments of late. I would hate if they kept doing that. I would hate if they dog-piled the video with comments. I would hate if Youtube's algorithm noticed all the attention they were giving me. That would really show me. youtu.be/zVa7H446Iiw?...

I'd heard good things about Masters of the Universe, so I was faintly disappointed. The first act was very weak, though it got stronger. I liked what it was trying to say about masculinity. But the comedy was cringe, the tone very inconsistent and it often felt ashamed of the source material.

Someone has been reposting clips of my videos on TikTok. Not sure how I feel about it. It's the way of the internet I guess. And at least the commenters are quick to direct people to the real me. To be clear, I am not on TikTok. I don't like the platform. If you find me there, it's not me.

Me explaining to anyone who will listen how I just really like Keith David and everything he’s ever been in, even the bad stuff, because he just seems to always be having a good time and I’m glad he’s getting a star on the Walk of Fame because good for him.

Today I learned that a butterfly's wings never extend further forward than the head. They are only posed that way when taxidermied to show off their colours. Thus, the butterfly in the bluesky logo is dead.

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy?? Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Since Civilisation 7 has come to Apple Arcade, I thought I’d give it a go. First note, the pointer obscures every tooltip all the time and it’s very annoying.

My thoughts on Devil Wears Prada 2. Gut feeling is that it’ll be a shameless nostalgia grab with very little to say. However… the one thing that gives me pause is that they somehow managed to get everyone back.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.
