iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My YouTube metrics have been strange the last couple of weeks. Views are down. New subscribers are flat. But watch hours are up quite a bit.

I’m giving serious consideration to downsizing some of my Marvel Masterworks

What a Schmitt show. He should wear this like an albatross. Was he trying to sneak something clearly false into testimony, or is he just that cataclysmically dumb?

Kyle Chandler absolutely deserves Emmy consideration. I think he’s been nothing short of brilliant the whole season.

I’ve been tired and burned out this weekend, and have stayed mostly away from SM as a result. Hopefully I’ll be bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow :)

Well, I’ve been experimenting the last few days to confirm, but I’m 99% certain I have developed lactose intolerance.

As I continue to purge and block on FB leading to my ultimate departure from there, I now fully understand that there are some truly EVIL people proselytizing there. I’m not talking about run-of-the-mill assholes. They are everywhere. I’m taking about genuine evil and malevolence

Why do they all look like this? Seriously. It’s an archetype.

He gives folks permission to be bigoted assholes, and they really like that. In fact, they clearly like it more than affordable food and gas, health care, clean air and water, job security, and their children’s education.

Today’s #comics video is up. Can you tell the trolls and gatekeepers have been bugging me lately? :)

As a human being, I can’t believe this is the state that our country has devolved to. It depresses me to see so much raw hate combined with so much willful ignorance. As a political scientist, it’s not surprising at all. This has been percolating for a looooong time

This season of #TedLasso has been a delight. Not absolutely perfect like season 1, but every episode is entertaining. The women’s team is a lot of fun!

Hey hey! It’s time for another long-form #comics flipthrough. This is the title I have the most issues of

They really have gone 100% all in on nothing but fearmongering, haven’t they? The ads coming across my feed from these opportunists are nothing but trying to terrify the ignorant.

Hey, recruited athletes do this kind of stuff all the time. Why not regular-type students? He is down to his final cuts. Now the “fun” part begins :)

Look, I’m happy some folks are leaving MAGA. I likely won’t ever forgive them, but at least they are leaving. For now. But leaving because of high gas prices, and not leaving because of the Files and/or the overt bigotry/misogyny speaks volumes

And just for the record I don’t mind sharing my YouTube data, particularly if you’re thinking of doing your own. But for general curiosity as well. Feel free to ask any time

I can’t believe what I just watched. #AnchorDown, baby!

I will NEVER understand, bot or not, why someone would comment on a video, often posted weeks ago, having never commented on anything before, and just say something absolutely douchey. Make it make sense

Yesterday was the best YouTube day I’ve had in a while. Almost 2k views, over 90 watch hours, 12 new subscribers. Today will probably be back to normal hah. That seems to be how it works. Would be nice to raise the overall base levels

Today’s #comics video is up! This is the first of about three videos that try to do something a little different by exploring my personal place both in the hobby and on comics YouTube. I hope you don’t mind the adventure.

Lost a member today. It happens. And it’s not like I’m going out of my way to do a bunch of super-special stuff for them. But still makes me a little sad :(

Posted another #comics flip through this morning. I’m going to start incorporating them into the longer videos soon. Shorts really aren’t moving the needle for me.

You can criticize American policy and leadership and not be anti-American. You can criticize Israeli policy and leadership and not be antisemitic. Blurring these lines, which existing regimes are actively trying to do via their propaganda machines, is so dangerous. It’s a hallmark of fascism.

We have a long way to go, but at this point I’m voting for the most pissed off candidate in 2028. One who demands retribution. One who guarantees punishment. I’ve accepted the fact that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. So might as well go in with both feet.

My new comics shipment finally arrived today. When one only gets it shipped once a month it’s all old news hah

I guess one bit of “good news” about the last 11 years is you don’t have to work nearly as hard to figure out who the assholes are.

Kevin Freeman @ksfphd.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I’m going to be brave and maybe get a video out of this. We will see :)
