My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.
The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

in an essay you lay out your premises and then you connect them to build up to a conclusion. in a video essay you lay out your "premises", perform superficial reactions to them as you mention them, act like you're building up to a conclusion, then cut the video off right as it's about to get good

good read imo. of course the main points have been well established for some time but this piece is humanizing in a way that academic papers on bias really aren't

people can hate on em dashes and semicolons and rule-of-threes all they want. they're wrong though. the only real bad one is overusing ellipses. it's just... tedious

The people whose political compasses largely revolve around trying to kick people out of places are getting lonely?
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!
