Truth is our weapon
YouTube video by Council of Geeks Truth is our weapon

Today we're going to talk about why some tactics of the right, in this particular case misinformation and disinformation, cannot be added to our arsenal against them.

(Big shout out to Joel, my thumbnail guy, who had to redraw this panel so it'd be the right proportions)

Taking a look at the latest adaptation of an Agatha Christie mystery. It's got a solid cast, but is that enough?

No, I won't say who, because I'm not trying to actually start drama I'm just fucking venting because this is the second time already this fucking year.

If you follow them you'll have seen it, and if not then what does it matter to you?

For the love of FUCK, you can make jokes about a magic school WITHOUT referencing Harry fucking Potter, it's not that fucking hard!

Add another one to the list of "wholesome creators for everybody" who can't fucking stop referencing HP in a positive way.

Seriously, trying to build a wishlist that doesn't include Amazon is such a pain in the ass.

That moment when it's your birthday month and you feel good about having put together a wishlist that isn't on Amazon... and then realize you did intended for your spicy account (with the selected items fitting that) and you lack the spoons to make one it's ok to share on main.

Outlander (first two episodes) - a rambling review

I took a look at the first two episodes of Outlander... and it just reaffirms my belief that showrunner Ronald D. Moore needs a good therapist.

I didn’t know Microslop was a thing until I saw headlines about Microsoft trying to ban Microslop on its Discord. Now I shall say Microslop a lot. That’s how it works.

It’s good when Microsoft, a company that likes genocide and environmental destruction, doesn’t like things.

I went through this when I said the excessive swearing in Hazbin Hotel flattened the characters and that having your pure sunshine character swear as casually as your oversexed character doesn’t gel.

If you want me angry, just say my noting that nudity in a piece of art is exploitative is because I’m a prude.

Fuck yourself with the closest unsanded wooden object.

Finding an SA victim’s tits being displayed for an extended period as she’s being assaulted gross doesn’t mean someone is a prude.

The idea that anybody is looking forward to this is just so fucking exhausting to me. That first entry was one of my early "this extremely popular thing is shit and it feels like nobody else sees it" experiences.

The UK government is looking to make legal for AI companies that which any ordinary citizen could be taken to court for. It is on the cusp of approving theft *only* in this case, a truly unequivocal β€œrules for thee, not for me” scenario.

That AI needs such special treatment indicts it utterly.

You don't have to fully disable it to cut down on the frequency of ads. Hell you can even manually place them and plan for where they'll go from the start if you're that level of attentive. @mattmcmuscles.bsky.social does this, complete with curtains down and curtains up on each side of the ad.

I'll give a pass to older videos because I do get that it may not be as well known that older videos (even previously unmonetized ones) get loaded up with ads when YouTube tinkers with certain things. But brand new shit? Fuck you for decided it's ok to subject your audience to that.
