It's valid to be skeptical of the Sascha Riley story. It's NOT valid to base your skepticism on claims Riley isn't making but are falsely attributed to them. Most skepticism I've seen of Riley's story have been of the latter variety.

Daily Wire's King Arthur prequel isn't terrible, but likely won't be the viral sensation they're hoping for, either.

Every single one of these men is doing it wrong. Not just Hegseth. I guess the Pentagon decredd that hip thrusts are not part of true masculinity.
Hegseth had cameras recording him working out with recruits today at UCLA

Updated assets for my upcoming Planet Of The Apes fan channel, launching on YouTube in early 2026. First 2 are backgrounds to use in videos. Second 2 are branding elements. Got a list of about 12 video ideas to script, not counting reviews of movies, books, comics, TV shows, etc. Apes together fun.

You watch the Supergirl trailer and see Guardians Of The Galaxy.
I watch the Supergirl trailer and see a sword-&-planet take on True Grit.

They say never meet your heroes. I say, don’t have heroes, have values.
Emulate ideas, not people.
Otherwise you’re prone to be heartbroken when you learn that Chomsky was pals with Bannon & Epstein. And Woody Allen.
The Chomp was never an outsider, just the elites’ pet radical.

Well, the people have spoken. I asked contacts of mine across multiple platforms today which potential channel name they liked most. "Channel of the Apes" won unanimously. So, if I do it, so shall it be.
Here are the final banner and icon. Now, I start making a list of video topics to cover.

Made some banners for my hypothetical Planet Of The Apes fan channel. I'm torn between these two names, though. If I actually make up my mind which I like better, I might actually go through with this.
Which is better: Channel Of The Apes? Or Primate Directive?

My late mom's favorite movie franchise was Planet Of The Apes. She loved them all, could talk lore and do fan theories with the best of them. I just learned there's only one dedicated POTA fan channel on YouTube. POTA & my mom deserve more. So I might start my own channel in their honor. Thoughts?
