You owe it to yourself to watch one of Dr. Ricki Hirsch's video essays.

I should probably include a link. Be nice to me. It's my first day. My scripted videos are all collected under the "essays" playlist.

I sure hope nothing happens to these guys being dudes.

Maybe. I used to regularly stream but I don't know if I have the personality to be very good at it.

So far every cutscene in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is like:

"Wow, that's the same camera Che used."
Big Boss: Is it? I wouldn't know 🤭
"You know, you're kind of like Che."
Big Boss: For real? You really mean that? 😳😳😳

It is remarkable that of all the celebrities from the '80s who've gone full fash Axl Rose of all people zoomed in the other direction.

No show do Guns N' Roses de ontem em Bogotá, o Axl recebeu essa bandeira da plateia durante a música Civil War.

Cantor Axl Rose, homem branco de meia idade com cabelo louro, segura uma bandeira da palestina com o logotipo do Guns N' Roses e escrito "I don't need your civil war".

Officially on mandatory unpaid vacation. If you've ever thought about watching one of my very good videos, now would be a good time 🥲

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?”
Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”
Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

Hot take, but maybe the ecosystem where people make being popular their livelihood while pressed to comment on complicated issues increasingly outside their expertise is bad actually.

That's how I'm trying to approach it. It's still fun but much harder writing to do while trying to be quippy and entertaining

Ricki☕🪄 @rickihirsch.bsky.social · 2d

Oh hell yeah. I'll look forward to it
