Hate to be that guy, and like, the more people learn about King Philip’s War the better, but PBS Origins just blatantly ripped me off.
The title, several of the turns of phrase in the video… their researchers clearly just watched some of my videos and just repeated stuff that I’ve said.

The Native Americans fighting Pennywise flashback in It: Welcome to Derry depicts 17th century colonialism in Maine with Oregon Trail era covered wagons. How the fuck do you not include spooky Puritan shit in your Stephen King homage? Lazy-ass writing and production design

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is not about "playing God" – it's a timeless parable about human responsibility grappling with environmentalism, feminism, liberation politics, sexuality, birth, death, and family. Let's rediscover the true radicalism of this masterpiece of horror.

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

Every YT creator I know is saying the same thing. The algorithm is fritzing out. Views and revenue are down (sometimes way down), and nobody seems to know why.

Remember when a boomer pulled a gun on me while protesting Omni Hotels’ use of foie gras?
Well earlier today, Omni finally… quacked… under pressure and promised to enact a foie gras-free policy.
Remember, kids: pressure campaigns get the goods.
