If someone started my most recent lecture when I posted it at 9am, they would still have a few minutes left. Video was 10 hours and 35 minutes. youtu.be/zmEoRM6O8Q0?...

I have no idea what’s happening here, but I’m happy to be included - I think? Hopefully subsection B in hour 4 was illuminating on this person about whom I am very informed.

“Does not affect your channel” - they could be more precise aka “this doesn’t affect your channel’s good standing, but it will affect its monetization” Like, how can demonetization not be an effect?!

Reminder before “hell reigns down”: trying to bomb a country’s infrastructure and industry until they submit isn’t a foolproof master plan.

Former ‘Prince’. I wish every monarch and every royal had semiquotes each side of their title, and ‘former’ in accompaniment.

If your commercial ends with the pop music going suddenly quiet followed by a single line from the lyrics spoken out loud, just know I loathe you.

After shoveling snow for hours yesterday, a new obstacle got between me and my notes this morning. I will overcome such tribulations and record my next lecture!! /s

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since Trump threatened to invade Greenland. What a wild decade that was - the longest 50 years of my life. Next millennium is sure to be better.

Don’t fall in love with politicians. It is your task as a citizen to be skeptical, hold officials to account, to not be drawn into cults of personality. And if your first thought is, “well my guy/gal is actually authentic and out there for the people.” -No, damnit. I’m talking to you specifically.

The Presidency is a huge job with an overwhelming number of tasks. There might be success in one area and failure in others. If you can’t hold those ideas simultaneously you’re going to drive yourself crazy. Don’t twist in knots. Enjoy the moment of peace after years of bloodshed. Hope it holds.

AI is making me a paranoid researcher. I used to prioritize the newest articles, books, etc. But in the last year I’ve begun to prioritize pre-2022 sources to avoid AI pollution of information. It’s sad.

She had strong opinions on Chinese vs. Soviet Marxism-Leninism, so interrupted my latest recording. I let her take the mic, naturally.

Yeah no prob. One of the videos I saw did strike me as AI slop, but I can’t confirm. I’ve definitely had to add a layer of fact checking b/c of AI out there misquoting and inventing. It’s also hard to confirm quotes, because ‘letters from prison’ is expensive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zeit...

First, from other creators who covered the same topic referencing him. Also, I worked 5 yrs for the German embassy here in DC, so I know a lot about him. Last, my mom is a pastor and often talks about his bravery.

I’m usually ok at resisting climate doomerism - I take my individual actions and acknowledge the problem is not mine alone. And yet, occasionally I’ll come across footage of polar bears…and it just breaks me, sick to the stomach. Rationalization be damned, it simply sucks.
