When I first saw that Family Guy clip about the guy in the Hummer, I was a little kid and didn't know why he shouted "YEAH RUMSFELD!" after merging without looking.
The more I read about the War on Terror, the more I get why only a jerk would like Rumsfeld.

Behind-the-scenes trivia about the Yavin video:
The opening crawl was originally an introduction in the script. Before I started recording, I decided to cut down on how much I would have to record by making that unique intro.
I'm not making another one If I ever make a Hoth video.

Time to ruin your 9/11 remembrance with an ice cold take about Gaza.
"No Patrick, just because Osama bin Laden was r̶a̶b̶i̶d̶l̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶t̶i̶s̶e̶m̶i̶t̶i̶c̶ pro-Palestine doesn't mean he was secretly a good person. Killing thousands of civilians is wrong no matter who's doing the killing."

Is it just me or does anyone else not take horror seriously when it tries to tie into real world historical events. Like if I heard about "the monster the Nazis fed bodies to underneath Auschwitz" I'd roll my eyes out the back of my skull.

Segments from a "Director's Comment" by @kevinwillmott.bsky.social, the director of the 2004 "C.S.A." mockumentary.
I like his approach to alternate history as "a series of "sign posts" that reflects our actual history." It captures why people make AH: to say something about reality.

A lot of YouTube Nazis aren't stupid enough to openly admit that their content violates community guidelines, or that they want the Jews to be exterminated.
Those of you who have a Twitter account, hit up Team YouTube. You know what must be done to make the platform a (slightly) better place.

I find this sentence in "The Art of War" hilarious because of how self-serving yet completely correct it is. There's an entire book that serves as proof of the validity of this sentence.

24 years to the day since Jurassic Park 3 was released in theaters. I still think the OG Spinosaurus logo is much better than the newer T. rex logo. The T. rex is only in the movie for like 30 seconds, this is very much the Spino's movie.
Also JP3 had better Spinosaurus content than Rebirth.

The Philippines campaign of 1941–1942 frequently makes the list of America's greatest military defeats. But it didn't have to end this way.
Assuming it doesn't take long as I fear to edit, expect a new (very long) video one month from now.
