I'm doing this video about The Secret Economics of Lego and I say "Legos" a couple times. Already know the backlash will be swift and harsh...

My video's in a holding pattern today, imagine me saying it like a bored pilot. But it'll be out soon! Find out when via my newsletter (free!). www.patreon.com/c/philedward...

This Sunday, I have a video coming about AI money's arrival in politics. Until then, here's my 2024 video about Sam Altman, in light of Open AI's working with the Department of War. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_iv...

A weird part of being a "creator" is having no idea how other people are running their businesses.

So, how did all this Ring Search Party surveillance network stuff happen? And what's the bigger plan at play? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAWK...

Next video has some Photo Booth shots, my personal form of a midlife crisis.

I was curious...why does Amazon allow so much junk on their site? Then I learned that they courted it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGuO...

Good @jwherrman.bsky.social article — and that's especially high praise when you're in the industry being covered. Opposite of Gell-Mann effect. nymag.com/intelligence...

can't we all come together to believe that all mainstream music is bad

I'm sure people are tired of VPN ads, but using one for research is really pretty exhilarating.

New video - how did tip screens become a ubiquitous feature of modern life? And who's to blame? www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmNH...

Every time I have a conversation with a non-Internet person about ChatGPT, they are outsourcing their thinking in significant ways to the app.

In 2026, my thinking is: Perceived "goodness" of an image = Aesthetics (0-100)* Demonstrated Scarcity (0-1). AI image: Aesthetics of 80, but Demonstrated Scarcity of .01. Goodness = .8. My terrible drawings: Aesthetics of 14. But a scarcity value of 1. Goodness = 14. 14 beats .8!

I read this book way too late for various reasons, but Jason Schreier is so awesome. Great book even for somebody who only played Starcraft II for a couple grades of middle school. Little sad though, I must admit.

All the weather people are so bloodlusty about disasters.

I believe that the much feared "Algorithm" will RELENTLESSLY chase good work and quality, as long as it's approximately 48 minutes long and published weekly (or ideally every two days).

Why are so many men getting hair transplants in Turkey? www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2NF...

they should have an event at MSG for people who know Todd Field was a co-inventor of Big League Chew. we could watch a videogame concert, chew gum, be too shy to talk to each other.

Within 10 minutes of getting a phone with Apple Log, I was dropping $200 bucks on accessories I never imagined buying. Absolutely amazing how good it is on the 17.

So, Salisbury Steak is actually super weird. Like, lock-men-in-a-room-and-force-them-to-eat-baked-beans weird. youtu.be/d9z8DK_VWKs

I think the weirdest part about getting old is the age compression of celebrities. Like, in 1997, Matt Damon is in this other universe of adulthood. Now, it's like, 55 - not that crazy! And on the other side, Harry Potter was this little kid. Now I Google Daniel Radcliffe. 36! He's old!

the good old days

I tried to wrap my head around a joke in Love Actually and went down a British accent rabbit hole. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVof...

Every one realizes this style of writing is bad on LinkedIn. Staccato. Broken. Unearned emotion. It's punctuation over substance. So why do we tolerate it in modern novels?

This short lived Betty Crocker restaurant went so insanely hard with the architecture. Props to you, imaginary spokeslady.

Threads is proving unmatched at exposing me to small groups of dumb people who hate me.

So which states are Midwestern? And which one is the MOST Midwest? I polled 2500 people and used 53 maps and 10 rounds of competition to try to find the answer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsMF...

I didn't receive enough praise for not stealing my kids' Halloween candy, so I've started developing complicated loopholes in which I can, in fact, eat the candy.

As a fan of cinema, I watch lots of YouTube Shorts clips of movies with captions like, "He had no idea his Dad was SANTA."

Julia Roberts could be a perfect voice twin for Lady Bird Johnson. That is all.

Thank you Phil Edward's for this excellent rendition of my book. My Gen Z kids will now know what my book is about! @princetonupress.bsky.social

My newest video is all about the posture panic that swept across America - and how it connected to strict categories, thousands of nude photos, and a unique form of pseudoscience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyRs...
