I was part of the panel that made this and Bully getting the first slot is still weird to me (I love Bully)

daylight savings time + seasonal allergies + holidays being over = the worst, so I’m right there with you.

Their explanation totally misses the mark - highlights and VODs are not about "discovery," they are about the historical preservation of actual work people put into their channel and content.

Any games people think will get in there eventually?

while, perhaps ever, I realized it has served its purpose for me.

My view of the world at large is often pessimistic, but I did want to share this little observation. If you're struggling to be kind to yourself, try being kind to others first.

is a little kinder. A little lighter. Through slow change, I've noticed much of my 2024 felt like that. The more often I was kind, the more often people were kind to me, and in return, I was kinder to myself.

When the award show wrapped, and it's the last one I will host for a long...

And as someone who is not always nice to themselves, the best change I've made is focusing on being kind to others. It's often returned in my direction, and then guess who I am kinder to after that? Me.

So anyway. Every year after the show I notice this little thing in my life where everything...

Or, at least, make an effort to change. Changing is hard, obviously.

Anyway, these award shows have been emblematic of something I've noticed anecdotally: when you are kind to people, they are kinder to you, they are kinder to others, they are kinder to themselves.

But I do think kindness is both a) beneficial and b) often contagious.

I've noticed at various points in my career, whether in academia or as a content creator, I've felt envy. Sometimes that envy would press itself in unhealthy ways.

I didn't like that about myself and decided to change.

I think there is a misconception that kindness is an alturistic characteristic or that it must somehow be altruistic in nature. It almost has a bad wrap, maybe for valid reasons (the "nice guy" is obviously not fun to be around).
