As someone who really likes unions it should be noted that a lot the strongest unions in this country (which is a relative term) are fairly insular and reactionary and by and large out for themselves. Unfortunately we live in a country where there is no mass solidarity with the unions.

"Keem" claims that K-Pop accounts will slide 'stan BTS/Red Velvet/Twice/whomever' under 'important' trending hashtags AND MUST BE STOPPED IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. This is the most I've ever looked into Keemstar and I feel dumber the more I do.

Glad Strucci and Bomberguy returned for another SCANLINE. I must admit I've held a quiet melancholy that there would only be one SCANLINE, but this next edition filled my heart with joy.

Also love the new Trainwreckords by Todd. I laughed out loud at the Jungle Fever gag. Yeah, of course Robin Thicke would sing the worse Stevie Wonder song to serenade his future wife, what a square.

I actually don't doubt they're doing what Keemstar says - using hashtags to promote their favorite bands - but at the same time Keemstar as the self-appointed Perez Hilton of Internet Drama disgusts me on a fundamental level like him just recently trying to butt into the ProJared thing with "I KNEW HIS WIFE WAS A LYING WORD I CAN'T SAY ON TWITTER BECAUSE I NEED CLICKS OR WILL TURN TO BONE AND ASH LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE." To be fair some of the bands' fans are super obnoxious on their own, particularly BTS' or the 'Army' as they call their fanclub.

anyway. Joker got reviewed at venice and apperently its pretty well liked and its pretty good over all. but already seeing twitter react badly to that news because it might make the incels shoot things up and how its a movie makes responsibility not to make stuff like that.

I'm more seeing people mocking it for being a lovely looking movie that treats the joker as a serious character which is, literally, the opposite of what things should be. There's just a few Mother Jones types being all 'but incels' and mostly Twitter just going 'man this Joker guy, he thinks crime is funny! Twisted!' as a joke.

Also man I've been rewatching the JelloApocolypse Price is Right video like three times today and I laugh hysterically at "there's a bigfoot statue in your yurt" "what, I don't have a yurt! Get my bigfoot statue and get out!"

i don't mind a different shot at the interpretation of the character and i am curious enough to see it for my self now with the mostly positive reviews.

the entire point of joker's character is as a dark reflection of batman. i honestly think that TKJ is kind of an underwhelming joker story, though its a pretty good batman one.

There’s already been one joker-inspired incel mass shooter. Now that they have spent years cultivating clownish nihilism as their aesthetic, there is cause for concern imo. Also there have been a million movies about strained alienated white men who snap under the pressure but oh you can sympathize with their special pain. On the other hand, 1979-1983 is extremely my aesthetic and I love a good grimy cityscape, so I want to see it.

You know that the whole "James Holmes wanted to be the Joker" thing is complete horseshit, right? He liked Batman and had some batmerch in his home, but the whole joker angle came from some guy he'd called before the shooting being led by some journalists, Holmes himself never claimed anything of the sort and it never came up in court.

I enjoyed this but i watched the This Is America and Lil Nas X videos after this and he is just really bad when it comes to black artists and while I can understand why a non black dude would feel awkward talking about race he seems to kinda half rear end it which is worse.

I can see why This Is America mostly went over his head (like he talks about the gospel choir and sees no parallel between that and the church shooting, instead thinking it's about vapid sings, which is why the lyrics are what they are not that particular scene) but For example in the Old Town Road he talks about black people posting on Twitter about the history of country excluding us despite coming from the blues and says "They're wrong but kinda right" and doesn't extrapolate on what was actually said and why they're wrong?? It's incredibly frustrating

“now you understand,” said Grimy Joker, “why I wear this makeup... but the question remains... am i laughing, or am I crying?? for as the poet says: ‘if I laugh at any mortal thing, ‘tis that I may not weep.’ pretty hosed up, huh? but less hosed up than society, in this volcel’s opinion”

This is America is easily one of the worst episodes Todd has done just because he has jack all to say about it, I’m honestly still at a loss as to why he even made the video. Todd is at his best when doing his more historically oriented videos rather than current stuff.

I also think his format is getting pretty stale at this point, like everyone else I watch has been pushing the medium of video essays/reviews forward in someway by trying new stuff and different presentation formats (and copying Contrapoints a lot) while Todd’s been using largely the same format for his videos for almost a decade now.

I agree with this. I still enjoy Trainwreckords and One Hit Wonderland, but I don't really get excited for new content from him like I used to since it's seeming more like he doesn't have a lot to offer other than shallow critique and fairly easy jokes. That's fine, but it's making him seem dated when compared to people who release one video a month and I'm always excited because they are more interesting and put more effort into their analysis.
