Okay, I've had bluesky for a while now, yet did not have Forbes blocked until just now. How'd that happen?

If you start your video essay with a superlative about your subject matter, I have just stopped your video essay. I don't care if you are shaking up the consensus understanding in your subject and opening exciting new avenues of analysis and critique, I'm going to assume you barely passed English.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!
Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani

The top row of four videos in my recommendations tonight were Taylor Swift related. Marked all as uninterested. Reloaded. This time it was Row three. Marked as uninterested. The next time it was Row 1, and of the four, one was from a creator I sub to. Last reload was just 4 music videos. JFC

Deeply upset that there is no cam model / porn star / OF creator named Nosferwaifu. Seems like a missed opportunity

I am also deeply angry at the YouTube algorithm, that has decided now that I am pushing 50, it's time for me to get really into the civil war, possibly as a way to escape the looming return of it.
