The world would be so much better if people could learn to just mind their own business.

I never really got the hang of social media. How do y'all have so much to say all the time?

Twelve years (and 2.1 billion views) ago, when my brother and I decided that we could make videos that could maybe help people in their high school and college educations and then give them away for free, no one was there to tell us we were crazy, and I am very glad for that...🧵

The older I get, the more I'm convinced that all our technology can secretly detect a human user's age. JUST DO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO!!! PLEASE JUST WORK!!

We launched a new channel!! The format is a fun twist on tutorial videos. Basically, Em gives me a prompt and I have to animate something that meets the requirements. Just uploaded the second video: youtu.be/EVp8pd9_3aU We'd love if you checked it out, and subscribe if you'd like to see more.

Viewers often ask me about little-known educational channels that I'm a fan of. Alexis Dahl is at the top of that list. I don't understand why her channel is still under 100K subs. Her work is incredible.

It's difficult to understand my own financial struggles when my income is higher than my (blue collar) parents' combined income when I was growing up... until I realize, after adjusting for inflation I make *significantly* less. 😥💀

I almost never do debunking videos on my YT channel for this exact reason. I don't want to focus on the negative. Also, the people who actually *need* to watch that content won't listen anyway, so there's no *educational* reason to make it.

The sweet spot for me, creatively, is about 7-8 minutes. Whenever I *do* make those, I always feel good about it. It feels like I put the right amount of explanation into a narrow question. It's focused. Shorter than 5 minutes and I haven't said enough. Longer than 10 and it seems like fluff to me.

Shout out to all my new followers over the last few days. My account here has been sparse this year because I've been doing a lot of introspection, but I'm hoping to spend more time here (and on Threads). Lots of the science people are here though, so you're in the right place 👍

Finally playing Breath Of The Wild. It's good, but the main quest is a little overwhelming. Been avoiding it in favor of the side quests (talking to people, korok seeds, shrines, towers, collecting materials, cooking, upgrading armor, etc.). Do open-world games exist that are *just* side quests?

LLMs (like ChatGPT) are not a database. They're not a search engine. They're not a source of information. LLMs are just *imitating* what it *sounds* like to give information. #PSA #LLMs #ChatGPT

I think they should have a picture of him somewhere in the finale. Nothing too forward. Just in the corner of a page in a book on Starfleet history... or a motivational poster on the wall at Starfleet Academy... ...or, better yet, an instructional hologram... in the background.

It's unfortunate that Star Trek Voyager episode about warp 10 ("Threshold") was such a bad script because Robert Duncan McNeill's performance was superb. Like, it could have just been an episode about a human slowly mutating and his performance alone would have made it a top 10 in the series.

I hate touch screens. I miss the tactile sensation of actual physical buttons on my devices. And I'm not talking about those fake buttons that detect pressure. I want the *real* buttons that move up and down.

The older I get, the harder it is to maintain local in-person friendships. Like, I *want* to hang out with these people. They're good people, fun to be around. I miss them. But also, I don't want to leave my house 🤦‍♂️

While anger can be a good *motivator* for solving problems, it becomes an obstacle when actually trying to *solve* those problems. If you can't let the anger go, then it might not be a good idea to rely on it for motivation. Just sayin' 🤷‍♂️

There are plenty of civilized people in the world. They're just not the ones with the power. Power is acquired either by force or manipulation, neither of which a civilized person would do.

I still haven't quite figured out how people use this platform yet. Like, it feels less parasocial, which is good. But it also feels a little too professional for my random thoughts.

One downside to making videos is that you have to live with your failures. As a classroom teacher, I could always say "I'll do that better next time." With videos, there is no next time. Videos are forever. #CreatorProblems
