🐄 alert — Ana Kasparian: Hasan Piker attacks his Uncle because he's audience captured & it pisses her off. He trashes Cenk for not being pure enough (eg "birthing person").

Has's ungrateful, disloyal and not being truthful.

"You either tell the truth or you don't."

I'm spending #LaborDay working on my Labor documentary, "Tell The Truth, Cenk."

This is a rough out for an animation about the difficult decision bosses must make when faced with an outbreak of solidarity: voluntarily recognize a union or not.

It's an educational film. It's not just TYT drama.

Do y'all think I chose the right emoji face for this visual? There's so many smiles to choose from.

Y'all see Cenk Uygur was confronted on Jubilee about the union-busting, the episode that drops today?

Here's a preview of my reaction to the teaser. Check it out! Could be a huge deal for the project!

YouTube lets you test and compare 3 different thumbnails. These are the other two I made. The channel only has 5 subscribers, though, so I'm pretty sure there were won't be enough data for a scientific result. That's okay.

Solved my copyright puzzle for the South Park mini-doc I'm posting tomorrow on Torch Lighter. Excited to put some polished editing out there.

It's a mashup of coverage w/ minimal but assuring VO from me and of course it features my trademark mesmerizing pacing.

Spent the last 4 days making a mini-doc* about the South Park episode for my new channel, Torch Lighter and of course Paramount blocks it for copyright, even stuff playing in news clips. Come on!

Will likely post the full on Substack/Patreon. 🤷‍♀️

"This is gonna piss some people off, I think," Hasan Piker says, putting on a Max Left trucker hat, gifted in studio by
@samseder.bsky.social and @emmavigeland.bsky.social on @majorityreport.bsky.social

The Min Left is gonna be real upset when they find out about this. 👀

New YouTube banner art. The middle bit is all you'll see (unless you watch on a TV).

I'm not in a great spot with my health or finances but I believe in this film and I'm determined to see it through to the end, even if I have to step away for a time to recover my hit points and mana. 🥀✊

Spotted on reddit. Playhead matching in the CC is great. Yes! Would love to see timeline markers in compound clips show up on the parent clip. Marker universality overall so that marking one clip marks all instances of the same clip. Very useful!

Video of Cenk Uygur saying "No, I am definitely not a union-buster" and scoffing at the idea of evidence while surrounded by reams of evidence.

Go to TellTheTruthCenk.com and scroll to Sources for links to all the articles and evidence. Consider supporting completion of the film!

2️⃣ The 3 Rules — No lying, no violence, no insults — Cenk refers to @franifio.bsky.social's remarks as "rando, weirdo attacks against your colleagues"

Note: Cenk lied about TYT Union's origin, about being a union-buster and w/ Ana's help publicly attacked unionizing workers.

(see bonus vid 👇)

2-clip🧵 — 1️⃣ Ana Kasparian praises TYT's unique journalistic freedom, citing @franifio.bsky.social's 'bitch' comment as over the red line.

"You don't want people who work for you going around calling you a bitch for instance." [Cenk smiles]

Note: Freedom to unionize wasn't allowed at TYT.

Thumbnail's good to go, at least.

I put way more time into my thumbs than I probably should. These are the three I made for this week's Space News From Earth about Musk's Mars stupidity. I drew the Earth, Mars and Moon. I added glow edges to the figures.

YouTube will test all three, which is cool.

Marketing a film is hard when you suck at marketing but I think I've finally settled on a decent logline:

*her appearance on Piers Morgan. The language was imprecise. Cenk's bad faith mischaracterization of Francesca happened when he was a guest on former Biggest Loser host and starving children-dismisser, Jillian Michael's, podcast for centrist bozos.
