Thinking pluribus is bad is a low frequency belief. if anyone is hoping to get on a higher frequency they should enjoy pluribus

I'm a very contrary person by nature, and I do feel like this is defensible. the first time you see this take, I think you should go "oh haha yeah therapy can be helpful to manipulators" and when you've seen it a million times you should go "no that's not true shut up"

do you know that trope where characters talk in a cagey way about Israel and it's funny because it's SUCH a touchy issue. Like this scene from Rick and Morty. if you have examples of this trope please let me know. is there a tv tropes entry for it lol I can't find it youtu.be/xCTTq0q4h-A?...

What on earth does Hillary get out of pretending to be in a relationship with this man… girl break up with him

“Things in Nature Merely Grow” a memoir by author Yiyun Li on the suicides of her two sons, is one of those books I can really only read for five minutes at a time

One of my favorite aspects of my life is that I have truly forced “singing terrible improvised songs” to be my brand and I will not budge on this Anyway new vid! Merry Christmas! youtu.be/sscRbyty8SU?...

big announcement: I have done numbers on twitter inadvertently. it feels good. I miss it

In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

i really wonder why Adam Something made a video where the only example he used was a two year old 6 minute video I made on my side channel that isn't about offering men advice. Like what happened there, in the construction process. It kinda depresses me that I made this response lol

It is funny to imagine what on earth my dating strat would be for 16 year olds. Umm try to make content online that will attract pretty artist gf

Hey it’s time for my Daily Gripe. I think it’s time for online vocal coaches to PACK IT IN. You can’t just watch a person sing well and say “woooow.” Sorry that’s a leech moment. Leech on society moment. You’re doing some leeching there sorry

Wow, "You Are Into Mouse Trap YouTube" is featured multiple times on the BFI video essay list this year! I like that it's not a video essay, that makes it feel like a greater w. Thank you! www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

yesss goooood

how do christians explain the virgin Mary to kids without telling them moms make babies and generally need fathers to do it? do any of you have experience with this? genuinely curious

this is so horrible, I can't believe it variety.com/2025/film/ne...

for whatever reason, my Crazy Rich Asians video gets tons of views consistently. And one thing that really EATS at me is commenters believing I do not like Crazy Rich Asians. sometimes fans of the movie will be like, "I really liked it 😡 it's just a fun movie" and i like it too! I also like it :-(

One day this guy will discover “cooking ground beef” and when that happens it’s over for us

The weird thing about transphobia, and probably about bigotry in general, is the pretty common intuition that the person bringing it up is always the one “making a show of it.” Boyne literally thinks the criticism of his book is ideologically motivated, yet I’M ideologically motivated for saying it

look I'm not always on Twitter this much, I promise. But there's this thing there where people like, proudly talk about YouTubers they don't like and get mad at their fantasy version of videos they made, and it's always so good

kind of an odd question, but do those of you who watch my videos notice the shameful truth that I pretty frequently respond to comments that disagree with me, or is this fact obscured by the fact that nobody searches through comments like this

this was the single time I got this comment, and I'm a bit surprised by that. Not because I'm wrong, not because I think Boyne believes the book is about Bruno's desire to retain ignorance and naiveté whatever the cost, but because I still can't wrap my mind around Boyne not seeing this.

really important discourse you guys are missing on twitter right now

how angry would me testing out this thumbnail make the public

Drew Gooden making that (quite good) video about wealth inequality and the economy is such a proof positive of the value of normal guys people like saying good things, as opposed to career ideologue type guys

every time someone thinks mothcub did the art on this video and that it's good, it fills me with an indescribable bliss

one of my fav vids I've done in a while! About the surreal and vaguely evil children's book, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas youtu.be/JNhuqRbahBY?...

right now, my TikTok algo is all people saying that China is a really good, like video after video about how it's better in every single way than America or whatever. And one stunt the tiktokers like to do is "leave their bag" somewhere for a sec, to demonstrate that it is not stolen

just started writing an "essay about The Room, like for English class, but recreationally" and then kept doing it 🤠. don't share this lore around this is a private secret

I get scared to start new games, especially ones where I will have to watch a ten minute movie about what the game is about. I sometimes start them up then quit them quickly, saying to myself, "not now. I can't do it just now."

I've been sitting here wracking my brain for five minutes trying to figure out what talent donald trump has a unique eye for. JD Vance?

I’m honestly appreciative that they split wicked into two movies, because in 20 years, who’s watching that second movie. It’s like a genius way to make one iconic classic

Episode 46: Sapiens It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

I spend a surprising amount of time stewing about chesterton’s fence. Not even coming up with new reasons to hate it, just mentally relisting the three or four reasons I already hate it and getting mad

Hey to all food creators online: I personally don’t like it when you say “bone apple teeth” or any other kind of quirky variation on bon appetit. Do whatever you want, but I vote “no” on saying bone apple teeth, if you were wondering

of course most people agree with me, but one interesting sort of reply so far has been like "since this sort of bad relationship does happen sometimes, and can be a real problem, what's really the issue with the article." and frankly I just think "emotional truth" is a bad thing

where did providing evidence for claims go. did people always just say random shit. it physically hurts me www.vice.com/en/article/m...

I am disappointed by the shutdown ending. I was kinda proud of democrats for a moment there

That sidney sweeney interview is so funny. just like the full on good cop performance from that interviewer, sidney pretending to have no idea what's going on. i like it a lot

I just don't think Apple will make 133 billion dollars a year selling humanoid robots by 2040. feel free to pull up this post and laugh at me if Apple makes 133 billion dollars a year selling humanoid robots in 2040

so do you guys think Mamadani will flop or slay

there's a guy who judges people's interior design decisions, and at the beginning of all his youtube shorts, he introduces himself as an interior designer. it would be like if I began a movie review with "as a movie reviewer" it really stings every time

this may be the sweetest comment I have ever received. I stared at it for like three minutes. I just imagined him being like "oh my god new little joel, wow awesome" almost stresses me out

I started making little joel vids again and it's so much fun lol. I go through phases of being really addicted to it, and I think, to make it last, I will try to make NO MORE THAN THREE videos there a week. I will do this until the day I die, I feel

I believe this is the best thing I have made www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0J...

the only aspect of YouTube's UI that I truly hate is that every time I make a shorter than average video, they inform me that my audience is bored by my video because view time is lower than usual

what happened to the word "handicapped"? I just heard a YouTuber say it and thought it sounded very old fashioned and wondered why it's not around anymore. is it offensive for some reason? do disabled people not like it?

The End of the Tour, the David Foster Wallace movie, is so weirdly nasty. I read a Brett Easton Ellis (author of American Psycho) very negative review of it, but even that hardly does service to the weird nastiness of this movie
