Russia is too big to fail. — I get it now. Nothing made sense until today, when Germany announced that it plans to keep buying oil and natural gas from Russia, even as Vladimir Putin continues committing every war crime on the books. …

“Earth won’t exist in 12 years” — Let’s talk about the future. I like the idea of decentralization amongst nations and want all countries to be as autonomous as possible; however, let’s say that we enter interstellar space and we discover there are hundreds of alien civilizations. Well, I don’t know about you but *someone* on Earth…

It’s the next Myspace. — If I published this article as a video on YouTube it would have been demonetized. The title alone would be enough to set off YouTube’s algorithm that scours videos for anything too “controversial.” I’m not even trying to be controversial. I’m stating a fact. YouTube is dying. And it could…

If you are thinking “got what?” you’ve already proved my point. — By Kara Post-Kennedy Look, we have heard all the jokes. We know how you talk about us.

They’re hiring teachers from outside the country. They’re recruiting military vets. They’re letting college students with no training into the classroom. They’re not going to…

The Golden Age is over — I like YouTube. As a platform it’s the Library of Congress for video and, as someone who loves both watching and making films, it’s been an amazing tool for discovery, creativity and connection. That said, I think it’s safe to say that YouTube is dead — creatively and artistically. “YouTube…

In 4 years, bitcoin will be a traumatic memory — Crypto is objectively dead. It had a good run but the huge bubble just popped. We lasted over 10 years but Bitcoin and Ethereum still haven’t contributed anything of value to the world — or so the bears like Mr. Whale and Peter Schiff keep saying. The honest truth is…

The Republican party endorses the view that my family is sub-human — The man was wearing a T-shirt with the phrase “Let’s go Brandon,” printed down the side.
