Remember when some random person put a copyright claim on a song i used in my shakespeare video?

Someone else has claimed the same song on the same video...

Sometimes, i hate youtube....

I love the fact that whenever I talk about increasing my video productivity, my patreon discord folks respond by saying

"Dont burn out. Gotta keep up your mental health."

It is a self selecting group of amazing people...

My work team is doing a zombie VR team building thing.

We called ourselves the Contract Killers.

Sometimes I enjoy the cheesy stuff too.

My 6 year old in the van: dad, can we listen to Blackpink?
Me: only if they are in our area...
6yr old: I dont know where they are right now...
Me: well, let's ask them.. *starts blackpink song*

I thought this was hilarious. They didnt seem to get it...

Why arent they sponsoring me...?

Dnd HP was not supposed to be health. It was more heroic dodging. Thats why you can still fight at 1hp

So clerics arent healing per se, they're adding "heroism" or "divine evasion".

There's rp potential there.
Cleric: I saved you!
Fighter: um... sure... thanks for the thoughts and prayers, nerd...

This also goes into how civil rights group have to use the optics of the cis het white population in their fight for humans rights. See my video on CRT where I discuss Plessy v Ferguson.
Remember these names:
Arurelia Browder
Mary Louise Ware (née Smith)
Susie McDonald
Jeanettea Reese
IYKYK.
This next one may give some of you a hint as to why you should know these names.

Claudette Colvin.

Some would have us think Rosa Parks was alone, the 92% take no one's shit.

Weird to wake up to a pro-nazi comment on youtube. And sad, though unsurprising, that it was not flagged.

I've had complimentary comments flagged, yet this one... flew right through.

Normally, @babila.bsky.social and I are friendly, but tonight, I wish him only pain and sadness for the next 3 and a half hours...

Hook 'em!🤘🏽

Never do sponsored content on the thing that your sponsors make money from. "we are talking about AI" sponsored by "AI company/organization" leads to lying and being a mouthpiece.

Online content creation is so bizarre.

Someone can have hundreds of thousands of followers across multiple platforms and you could have never heard of them.

Someone else could have less than 100k and somehow everyone is the field is like "this person is THE creator we all look up to..."

i was speed watching All American Girl, a 1990s sitcom with Margaret Cho about a korean american family, and i noticed:
1) the korean accents on most of the actors is awful, especially when speaking korean. None of the main actors are korean (cho excluded)
2) Ashley Johnson is in this show!

I had a flair for the theatrical, but I was also an Asian kid who grew up with a tiger mom. I rebelled from folks saying I should be a lawyer
I was pre-med, then switch to poli sci to live out my west wing fantasy...

Then my spouse started law school and I found I enjoyed the subject.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Reading a book while listening to the audio book going at 3x speed feels like an adhd life hack I wish I've had for years

I made some korean chicken noodle soup. It turned out really well.

Made it spicy with some gochugaru and sesame oil paste... because I'm korean and it must be spicy.

The intense guilt of my day job (which pays my bills) disrupting my ability to do my fun job (making youtube videos which recenlty stopped actively costing me money to produce.)

I actively feel bad that I cant get a video put every 2 months

I originally wanted to be a weekly video channel 🤣😛🫠
November 21, 2025 at 5:56 PM
I'd doing my re-read of the lord of the rings.
And I was actually excited to get to the section on Tom Bombadil.
It has been 30 years since I read the book. I felt like I was experiencing it for the first time

It was awful. I'm team anti-bombadil. Felt like a complete waste.

I hate the phrase "it was a simpler time."

The world, the times, were never simple. The chaotic mess that we see was always chaotic, possibly more so than now. But many people didn't know that, because information was slower and more controlled.

It isn't easy to conceptualize "the world"

Playing dnd with my 6 and 9 year old went amazingly well! They can't wait to play again!
November 16, 2025 at 9:27 PM
So very true
About half the time when I block someone on Youtube what I really want to do is say "Are you alright man? You sound like someone who's going through a lot right now."

Hey folks,

I need a campaign map maker tool. what are you favorites? Preferably free/single purchase. I don't like subscriptions.

Also, i know about Azgaar but i am looking for something with more of a old timey feeling to it. Like the maps you find in the front of novels.
