TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

i welcome video essay/writing questions :)
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Got my Lego Star Trek Enterprise D and felt the neutral posing of the minifigures didn't do their characterisations well enough!

"Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women… by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."

The magic of Stranger Things is gone. Long gone. 80s nostalgia played out. It was getting old 10 years ago. Now it just feels sad. And no one gives a shit if Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I'm so sick of the 80s.

Mr. Beast is one of those celebrities or shows in the background of a dystopian story to give you an idea of how completely the broken society has become. You can't convince me he's real.

If you have to deal with conservative family this Thanksgiving, the only two things you should be saying to them is. "You have internet addiction, that's internet addiction garbage." and "Be a fucking man/adult and live and let live." That's it, nothing more. They'll leave humiliated.

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
