Great video. I had no idea the shadow puppet scenes in Digimon Story: Time Stranger were made with actual puppeteering.
Love everything he had to say about art and how AI will never capture the experience of life the way real human artists can.

Someone else pointed out that the “purity testing” rhetoric seems to be making the rounds across centrist politicians and pundits and it’s probably worth keeping an eye on how that phrase is being weaponised to punch left and reframe human rights as “privileged luxuries”.

Orlando Pride is insanely corporate.
Like 5 different banks and everything is an ad. Working with cops, Uber and fucking AMAZON!? Banning protest iconography from those of us who attended it? Bc why would you want people to associate pride with protests, right??
Capitalism ruins everything

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

Donate to Wikipedia!!!
I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.

I think a lot about how Mr. Beast defenders would always just shrug and say "yeah but he gives money to people so yknow" as a defense for this absolute sociopath and how it directly ties into America's inability to separate wealth from morality.
One of the most haunting aspects of Squid Game was that the contestants could leave at any point if they wanted to but volunteered to be tortured to death because they were so desperate for money.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

Guess the only two options here are "do a civil war and abandon underprivileged people" or "keep doing the same thing we've been doing. Which is effectively nothing."
"It's the privileged who talk like this! We need to burn down the system for the oppressed!"
What do you think will happen to your disabled allies in the starvation and rubble of a civil war fought with cruise missiles and drones? You think their meds will still be available?
