I literally just finished reading "Through a Window" by Jane Goodall a few days ago. I knew she made huge advancements in our understanding of other apes, did amazing advocacy work, etc. etc. but I didn't realize until recently she was also just really good at writing a book!

A hot transgender for EVERYBODY. That puppygirl is your responsibility now, you asked for this

literally just got another one

“Turtle,” said Frog. “You will have to go away.” “Why should I?” asked the turtle. “Because Toad thinks that he looks funny in his bathing suit, and he does not want you to see him,” said Frog.

lineless too cause I think it looks cool

I have continued to get a stream of sponsorship emails from lazy AI companies who saw I made a video with AI in the title and now think their chat bot would be "a great fit for my content" So I decided to make a video where I read them all! it's up on my patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/139502...

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

New(ish) video! I never watched Ex-Arm when it came out... was it actually as bad as everyone said? Being "hip" and "trendy" and "with it" as always, I decided watch the whole series in one sitting to find out. youtu.be/NR3tlVtdquI

Toad took all of the buttons out of his pockets.

A very, very nice feeling. Flow joins the Criterion Collection.

If I ever miss an opportunity to put this clip of Buffy googling "evil" in a video, call poison control because I've certainly been possessed by whatever horrific beast she was trying to research in that episode.

cat that lives in the building beside me that I sometimes see in the window report: I saw the cat that lives in the building beside me in the window

Horror can be kinda hit-or-miss in anime for a variety of reasons, but horse-girl studio CygamesPictures found the perfect solution: jump-scaring me with a real goddamn photograph of some raw chicken of course! (The Summer Hikaru Died is what the video is about.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwvh...

In my estimation, a lot of the people who have problems with Bluesky are so used to platforms just serving up the content buffet that they're unwilling to do the work to have a good experience here. That work is the social part of social media.

If you're doing a long text post, please include an ALT image where it's a cartoon of you with a dialogue bubble saying all the stuff, in hand-lettered comic book font.

Thank you for noticing. I've always thought my energy was massive. Gargantuan, even. I am as large as the ocean is deep, and as small as a passing thought.

Soooo why does it feel like every anime opening is an abstract found-footage art film now? I set out to find out. (spoiler alert: it's mainly thanks to one dude) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw_q...

Fan art for @swampjawn.bsky.social He makes some of my favorite videos on YouTube!!!! #furry #furryart #sfw #OC #furryartist

Attempting to grow a jalapeño plant in this tiny can. Wish me luck.

SUPERMAN SPOILERS I initially felt unsure about the change to Superman's parents. But now I adore it. Part of what makes Superman so special is that he's an alien with godlike power, but it was the teaching of his adopted parents -- his human, Earthling parents -- that shaped him into a hero.

I really like this thumbnail I feel it has an undeniable sex appeal. I think we might be seeing a new side of “the beast”

if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

I kinda feel like we need to retire the concept of "gentrification" because it's become absolutely meaningless. We should focus on measurable concepts like price increases and displacement. What is gained by arguing about the authenticity of some coffee shop?

Okay I couldn't fit this into either of my videos about AI stuff, but I found out recently that youtube studio has this "Inspiration" tab where it AI-generates titles, descriptions, and thumbnails for videos that it thinks your audience would watch??? Here are some of my favorites:

Embrace the cringe and life begins.

Me after every single upload, unable to learn my lesson:

I will forever regret drinking that enchantress's vile elixir that makes all your youtube videos end up twice as long as you originally intended.

The first 95% A.I. Anime is here! Or, that’s what you’d think if you believe the droves of articles and YouTube videos that uncritically parrot that phrase. I took a closer look at it though and found it to be - much to my surprise - a VERY generous characterization: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSou...

This is one of my favorites I've gotten recently:

I ruined it. With each new round of VeryCool A.I. copyright infringement on Twitter, comes a renewed wave of gleeful speculation about — not if, but WHEN — animators and artists of all kind will be out of a job, But is that actually a foregone conclusion? www.youtube.com/watch?v=En1K...

what’s- what’s the good way

Based on real events

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

I resent that even in liberal condemnations of RFK's comments it's still implied that autistic people need to "contribute" in order to be worthy of living dignified lives.

Listening to RFK Jr. spout utter lies about autistic people fills me with an unfathomable anger. I've got autistic friends, loved ones, family. Almost all of them are living full, fulfilling lives. They deserve respect, god damn it. They deserve the truth to be told, and not RFK's horseshit.

It's always cool to watch a movie and realize, "Oh, this very clearly inspired like 7 of my favorite movies!" ("The Trial" 1962 btw)

'ai is ok for a quick meme' mspaint, basic knowledge of stick figures, and having a modicum of humor is right there

i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person

I have a colony of lepers making rifles for me. If they help me kill the forest spirit, they get the hill!

Just finished God Emperor of Dune. Surprising amount of talk about whether or not the god emperor has a secret worm penis.

Go watch this video and comment, "wow sWIMP John, I used to like your videos but you've really fallen off hardcore. Go back to making magic school bus AMVs. Unsubbed." www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTCq...

This is what you do after winning an Oscar

You need to talk to the people in your life about what LLMs can and cannot do.
