We launched a new channel!!
The format is a fun twist on tutorial videos. Basically, Em gives me a prompt and I have to animate something that meets the requirements. Just uploaded the second video: youtu.be/EVp8pd9_3aU
We'd love if you checked it out, and subscribe if you'd like to see more.

The world would be so much better if people could learn to just mind their own business.

Twelve years (and 2.1 billion views) ago, when my brother and I decided that we could make videos that could maybe help people in their high school and college educations and then give them away for free, no one was there to tell us we were crazy, and I am very glad for that...🧵

Viewers often ask me about little-known educational channels that I'm a fan of. Alexis Dahl is at the top of that list. I don't understand why her channel is still under 100K subs. Her work is incredible.
What happens when you're in the middle of the wilderness, and your compass just starts... spinning?
Option one is, y'know, panic. Apparently option two is to invent a new kind of compass that would then be used for 100+ years.

It's difficult to understand my own financial struggles when my income is higher than my (blue collar) parents' combined income when I was growing up... until I realize, after adjusting for inflation I make *significantly* less.

I almost never do debunking videos on my YT channel for this exact reason. I don't want to focus on the negative. Also, the people who actually *need* to watch that content won't listen anyway, so there's no *educational* reason to make it.
Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on.
We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

The sweet spot for me, creatively, is about 7-8 minutes. Whenever I *do* make those, I always feel good about it. It feels like I put the right amount of explanation into a narrow question. It's focused. Shorter than 5 minutes and I haven't said enough. Longer than 10 and it seems like fluff to me.
I wish there was still any incentive for youtubers to make videos in the 5-10 minute range. I understand why it doesn't happen but I still think it's a shame.

Shout out to all my new followers over the last few days. My account here has been sparse this year because I've been doing a lot of introspection, but I'm hoping to spend more time here (and on Threads).
Lots of the science people are here though, so you're in the right place 👍

Finally playing Breath Of The Wild. It's good, but the main quest is a little overwhelming. Been avoiding it in favor of the side quests (talking to people, korok seeds, shrines, towers, collecting materials, cooking, upgrading armor, etc.).
Do open-world games exist that are *just* side quests?
