Palestine Must Be Recognized As A State But Shouldn't We All Shut The Fuck Up About It

bsky.app/profile/moth...

UK so crazy. I don't think there's any overt contradiction here, but isn't it odd that on the international stage, they're beginning to take an at least vaguely more pro palestine stance, and at home, it seems they're just going crazier and crazier

(to be clear, a more well liked video I have not made, the video isn't swimming in hate or something. Though recently, like for the last day or two, for some reason, the comments are oddly negative. I feel like it's on some discord out there that hates it)

one comment I've seen a few times is like vague offense at the story by an audience that identities with the husband (who is into some weird YouTube bullshit) and therefore annoyed by the wife (who feels weird about her husband's weird YouTube bullshit). I feel like it's kind of a fun reaction tbh

I find negative comments on "You Are Into Mouse Trap YouTube" so peculiar. Maybe it's just because I'm used to it on non-fiction work, but for a two page long short story, I'm just like, okay boys let's all relax

tony blair mayor of gaza?

tony blair?

I think we were but I'm updating further now

and while I did just update the phone, the settings app has always been horrible for me in this way, and I'd thought it was famously bad

!!

interesting that some people are able to search for "camera" in settings. maybe it's glitchy because of the new beta update I downloaded. Could you iphone users look up an accessibility feature like, idk, "eye tracking" or "reduce white point" and tell me if the system directs you there

just for reference, how on earth is this possible

how

it doesn't function as an exact text search! it often fails to find exact text!!

could someone smart actually explain to me how the iPhone settings search function is, and has always been, so criminally awful? Why almost no search will ever work on it? it seems so strange for a modern piece of technology

Jack I really appreciate the anime gif and everything but the video is not going to pick up not this time

frankly I wish I'd just released it on Little Joel, where it Truly Belongs

one cannot talk about youtube flops without coming off as self pitying oh my GOD lmao. I knew it would be a flop, but never imagined that "You Are Into Mouse Trap YouTube" would have three times the views of this video. Audience keeping me on my toes tbh

haha people always say this when I say a vid flops! it's totally okay to watch the video whenever you want, but at the end of the day, the numbers are the numbers, The People are not here for Osaka Expo lol

so of course my Osaka vid is a generational flop, but honestly, I'm just so happy about how stupid it is 100% of the time. I think it turned out great lol

a shocking amount of me singing in this one. to the point where I feel my audience will resent it. Enjoy!

YouTube video by Big Joel The Japan World's Fair Is Kinda Bad (But That's Okay)

I went to the, quite strange, Osaka Expo 2025, and made a video about it! You legally have to watch it because you follow me on the internet youtu.be/D10S6G1InXg?...

I checked your cloud ranking, and you actually have a cloud ranking of 10 (0.4 points higher than mine) so congrats on that. I really hope to have a cloud ranking like that one day, though for now I'm content to have a cloud ranking of only 9.6

yeah out of 10 my cloud rank would be a 9.6

hey thanks, yeah I'm pretty happy with my rank (9.6)

Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that my "cloud ranking" on bluesky is a 9.6/10, which makes me something of a celebrity on this website. You might not have been aware but yeah my cloud rank is 9.6

I think Hila said this of Yoav Gallant
