If anyone needs a distraction from Today, here's a video about the Daredevil show. Is it good? I think so! Here's why. youtu.be/QRd4E0tFkac?...

This month's exclusive video is out now (alongside an early, ad-free release of the next main vid, same link) - we're looking into YouTube's 'Ask Studio' AI and its various flaws + limitations. www.patreon.com/posts/februa...

Gorton and Denton by-election result: GRN: 40.7% (+27.5) REF: 28.7% (+14.7) LAB: 25.4% (-25.3) CON: 1.9% (-6.0) LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1) Green GAIN from Labour.

Lower bills. Protect the NHS. Rebuild public services. Vote Hannah Spencer & the Green Party.

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

Nice. I'm in the new Pillar of Garbage video. I'm not the main one. That's the Pillar of Garbage person. But I'm a second other voice, later.

What even is 'MCU-ification'? youtu.be/dfD1SsYAR7M

"One day, you will be called on to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters? You have to stay ‘in shape’ so that when the big day comes, you'll be ready." – James C Scott youtu.be/zavx4Obq1OI

@atunshei.bsky.social - "Checkmate, Lincolnites!" or any of his videos are great for leftist American history lessons. Also great movies. @pillarofgarbage.bsky.social - great media analysis all around @fdsignifier.bsky.social - Black Leftist theory, hip hop history, media analysis, the works

STANISLAW LEM MENTIONED God I need to read more of him

something a little different! youtu.be/o4gNtGZyjPQ?...

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

This sucks. Oddnon was a real gem. While sick, while suffering, they were always there for creators; fundraising, encouraging, sharing, and apparently listening and holding space and consoling and yet more than I knew. The Oddnon I did know was a welcome brightness at premieres. One I will miss.

Hopping onstream now guys 😎 www.youtube.com/live/tJuq9HL...

2025 in Review (A free post.) www.patreon.com/posts/146714...

@pillarofgarbage.bsky.social is always brilliant, but this was a standout for sure this year because of the way it connects so many things to make a point about fascist obsessions with aesthetics and why AI appeals to them so much youtu.be/ZPdLV8WvFrw?...

A Video Essay About Efficiency by @pillarofgarbage.bsky.social youtu.be/3qt9H2rkwxo?... Back when Elon Musk was gutting the government, Pillar of Garbage put out this meta video about the importance of inefficiency in art as he strips those inefficiencies away one by one.

One final update on my Patreon drive & where we're at with the stretch goals before the end of the year. Last time I'll ask for a while, I promise. Still a chance for livestreaming, too! More updates soon 👊

Feliz Navidad rocks because you can really tell he *does* want to wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of his heart

Reviewers and commenters call Terra Nil “peaceful” and “hopeful.“ Nothing could be farther from how I feel. Hope y’all enjoy this casual little video about hope(??) in the apocalypse. youtu.be/-_ZbAeUs7Tk

Great video! It’s always a treat when Pillar analyzes a Benoit Blanc whodunnit, especially one as thematically rich as Wake Up Dead Man.

Ok, here’s the video you all knew I was going to make: The Most Important Scene in Wake Up Dead Man youtu.be/6Tyk92b7Utg

the 2025 sight & sound video essay poll is out! was thrilled to submit some picks for this a few weeks back & even more gassed to see one of my own videos made the cut!

if any of my newer viewers are in a Fallouty mood rn, then hey! I made a video on the first season a while back you can watch: youtu.be/Y0H5a-RTEl8?...

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON

YOUTUBE: you like history ME: I do! YOUTUBE: and you're white ME: well, I mean YOUTUBE: here are some white people who also like histor-- ME: no no no No NO NO NO

Our second stream is over! We raised over $3000, thank you all so much 💙 We'll be back in January, so stay tuned for updates!

new bonus video for supporters! we’re getting into why the Disney-OpenAI deal maybe isn’t the big deal it looks like & what the real story here is. also, I made The Best Thumbnail Ever

my favorite youtube discovery scenario is when I like someone's video for being a thoughtful essay and then end up following them for being openly anti-ai, anti-maga and anti-genocide ✨ (I do not even care about ST anymore but this was such a great video to watch, 10/10)

new episode of the PoGcast out now! Me and @tsdtalks.bsky.social are talking about BeastLand Riyadh, the possible details of Lighting McQueen’s birth, and mouth kissing the homies at DisneyLand 021 - Mr Beast is an Actual Supervillain youtu.be/IsWuHE7Wxw0

it’s Black Friday! (I think?) So why not take a break from queuing round the block, ransacking consumer electronics shops, and eating Turkey leftovers, and get a discount on becoming a supporter of my channel!

This was obvious from the moment it was announced, but still worth mentioning. The genocide never ended.

the people who said "the bombing would stop if Gaza released the hostages" are very quiet lately

Live now! Come hang out

New video, freshly rendered! Stranger Things Isn't Strange Anymore youtu.be/oYlg5wZUfMU

Will be live with @pillarofgarbage.bsky.social at 2:30 pm Eastern today! Really looking forward to this one. youtube.com/live/lQES1iC...

Harassment isn't harassment if your target is trans. Inciting violence isn't inciting violence if your target is trans. Trans people are not protected by law in this country.

this is fucking insane
