My BlueSky in a nutshell

“Comments have been turned off on YouTube.” Gee, that’s telling.

In that case, the entire computer programming/software engineering industry is going to collapse. AI has become an integral part of the coding industry. Vibe coding, AI code complete, LLM API integration… it’s gonna be a lot harder to manually find errors in code yourself if AI can’t find them.

Seeing Zootopia 2 tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll love it!

StarGiantProductions is the worst animation critic on YouTube, bar none. And I don't mean that like he's a terrible person (even though he is a terrible person). I mean that in terms of his videos' quality. Constant shouting, dozens of terrible media takes, shotty editing. Absolutely insufferable.

BTW, one thing that nobody is talking about with this situation is that P*** H****** committed IP infringement by posting that tweet. Technically, anything using characters you don't own that's not a parody is IP infringement. Franklin's publishers could sue him for that.

Here's how Franklin feels about being used to target narco-terrorists without his consent:

You guys know that Ford commercial that’s been playing on YouTube ads lately? “You know what sounds good after some time on the ice? Some time on the ice.” What’s that song playing during that ad? 🎵The winter… 🎵 I need to look up that song!

@thesimpleeevee.bsky.social Hey Eevee, there's something I want to talk to you about. Can we talk privately, like over BlueSky or Discord DMs?

Anti-AI people remind me a lot of hardcore vegans—they believe they’re 100% right, are completely unwilling to change their minds and believe that anyone who doesn’t completely agree with them on AI or eating meat is an evil person who’s destroying the planet.

It’s been 7 years since we lost Stephen Hillenburg and every time people speak on behalf of him to criticize new SpongeBob content, refer to this video: youtu.be/-3MJf6uOVT8?...

Don't tell Ryan Kruleski (StarGiantProductions) about the Backyardigans episode "A Giant Problem". If you know, you know.

Yeah this meme is gonna come in handy.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? It's a shame that Years & Years never crossed over into North America. They made some fantastic songs, and their debut album was a really great showcase of their music.

Is anyone else unable to click the "Subscriptions" button on desktop YouTube? When I click "Subscriptions" from the side bar, nothing happens. It doesn't take you to your subscription feed anymore. I wish the Team YouTube Twitter account was also on BlueSky so I could tag them here.

Today, I rediscovered two semi-obscure pop songs that I know I heard like 15 years ago but didn't know what the songs were called, but now I have the artist and song titles and have now relistened to them. It's always so nostalgic and unlocks a memory when you stumble upon something like that.

Who wants to bet Disney+ is going to either back down on this AI user content thing or go forward with it but remove it after a very short period of time?

A Disney show creator encouraging people to unsubscribe from Disney+ and pirate her show just to avoid supporting gen AI? Damn. Let’s see if this helps Disney back down.

Okay, it's finally out! Hope I won't run into this "slow upload on my desktop computer" again next time I upload a video. But anyway, check out what I have to say about the super obscure Christian cartoon Theo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4a_...

It's taking an unusually long time for my video to upload. It got to about 80% uploaded in a few minutes, but then after that, it only increased by 1% like every 10 minutes. So I decided to cancel the upload and try uploading it a second time. And once again, it takes like 10 minutes to go up by 1%!

Finished creating the subtitle file. Currently re-exporting the video to fix a couple of minor editing mistakes in it. My Theo review will be in your subscription feed tomorrow morning! Very fitting release day for my review of a Christian cartoon.

FYI, it's fine to hate AI. But telling people "Stop using AI" isn't right. I get that you might think you're saving the planet or something, but just like how telling a meat-eater to "Stop eating meat, go vegan" is only going to make them eat more meat out of spite, the same is true with telling...

I've finished editing my Theo review. Still gotta export it and make the subtitle file. If all goes to plan, this review will be public on Sunday (fitting release date for a Christian cartoon).

“Well, that escalated quickly.” It’s “BOY, that escalated quickly.” bsky.app/profile/soph...

Just a reminder that mocking people's deaths is what the Westboro Baptist Cult does. If you're happy or think "good riddance" when someone dies, you're no better than WBC holding up signs saying "Thank God For Dead Soldiers" or "Plane Crashes, God Laughs".

I recently rediscovered an old, cringey Club Penguin fanfiction that I wrote when I was 8 years old back in January 2008. Most of the characters in it were the penguin names of real Club Penguin players. And it's about as good and cringey as you'd expect a fanfiction written by an 8-year-old to be.

Just finished recording my Theo review. Editing will begin very soon. Hoping I can have it out by Sunday next weekend (fitting release date for a Christian cartoon review).

I just realized I should've said "I've already reviewed TWO obscure Christian kids' series. This is #3." As in, I've reviewed two already and this will be the third.

I've got all the assets ready for my Theo review. I may read over the script one more time before recording, but I will be recording this weekend! Really hope you all enjoy it when it's out!

New video coming soon. I've already reviewed 3 obscure Christian kids' series. This is #3. Currently, I'm waiting for somebody to read over my script before I record. In the meantime, I gotta gather all the visuals I need for the video. It'll be out in November. Hopefully I can record next weekend.

Can anyone think of any cartoons that contain both humans and anthropomorphic animals, but the humans aren't aware of the existence of the animals? I swear I've seen cartoons that are like that before, but my mind is drawing a blank when it comes to thinking of examples.

I had a feeling today was the day we turned back our clocks. Surprised that still hasn’t happened yet.

Made a ton of progress writing my next video script. It’s gonna be review of yet ANOTHER obscure Christian cartoon. I even reached out to the show’s creator and he agreed to read over my script once I finished to fact-check it and give me some additional behind-the-scenes stories to say in it.

It looks like Billboard just put all previous Hot 100 charts behind a paywall. Now you can only view the current Hot 100 for free, but you have to pay to view any previous week's Hot 100. Does Billboard not know people archive these charts and can view them for free elsewhere?

New video! Onto the second half of the 2000s! Join me as I count down the Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2005 (and also reveal the #1 worst hit song of 2005 in an unlisted bonus video). www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJJA...

Is anyone else having issues playing YouTube videos right now?

Hope my fellow Canadians had a good Thanksgiving!

Even as someone who’s much more ambivalent to AI than most of my online mutuals, I can absolutely agree that sending someone AI-generated videos of a dead person to that dead person’s child is disrespectful and gross.

I wish I could explain to the "we're doomed" folk that it usually takes a long time for a species to go extinct. Understand? We're talking generations upon generations before the last human. So if we're going to be around for a while either way, we might as well make things better instead.

Tilly Norwood is the acting equivalent of Hatsune Miku--a singer/actor who doesn't actually exist and is completely computer-generated. Computer-generated fake people being celebs is something that existed long before the AI boom began. Vocaloids have been a thing for at least a decade and a half.

If you got some money to spare, give Nathan a hand.

I just discovered that my brother and I were both using the same toothbrush without either of us knowing that the other was also using it. Well, that toothbrush is his now. I've switched to a new one.

Heart to like autism. Repost to fight for autistic people.

There's a glitch on the Disney+ app where if you go out of a movie/show that's playing without pausing it, the audio keeps playing, even if you leave the app. And you have to close the app for it to finally stop. I swear it didn't used to have this glitch.

Someone needs to invent the silent blender.

I’ve got a few of these. “Hard to Forget” by Sam Hunt, “Love Like This” by Natasha Bedingfield ft. Sean Kingston, nearly every song from AJR’s The Click.

Forgot to post about this earlier, but last Saturday, I watched KPop Demon Hunters. Since I knew I was likely gonna be talking about at least 1 song from that movie in my Top 10 Best/Worst Hit Songs of 2025 videos coming this December, I figured I should get some better context on them.

This made me laugh way more than it probably should have.

Thank you to DJ/NoParking Berry for reviewing the Backyardigans episode "High Tea" in my newest commission request! Pip pip cheerio! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQsH...

Vegan Gains and ThatVeganTeacher should get married. They’d be a perfect match for each other.
