A look at culture, high and low, and why those differences are meaningless.

The script for my next video, tentatively titled "PRAGERU’S EXTREMELY BAD SHAKESPEARE TAKES or, WHY I STOPPED TALKING ABOUT SHAKESPEARE" is now available for paid patrons over on Patreon.

It's 21k words about why PragerU's videos on Shakespeare are not only bad, but feed into the overall badness of PragerU. A lot of research went into this script. The video is still a long way off, but you can preview it here.

DTF stands for Death To Fascism,

I don’t usually use this space to promote mutual aid, but it’s a habit that I want to start.

Updated: both links should be visible now:

My dear friend Mae has set up a GoFundMe link for her friends in South Sudan. They’re two queer groups desperately in need of housing, food security, healthcare and eventually long-term security. Please consider giving what you can - the situation in South Sudan is dire.

On this May the Fourth, throwback to the time I retold A New Hope using nothing from Star Wars

The Good News: I'm writing about Shakespeare again.

The Bad News: I'm writing about PragerU's takes on Shakespeare.

Experimenting with thumbnails. Thoughts?

The Leftist Cooks are two of the best essayists working right now and their latest deconstructing the common whine of "grow up!" is essential to anyone who wants to be a better person.

Mildred does fantastic work. This latest is a fine, fine piece that I wish I did more on my own channel.

Oh dear.

Oh no.

I thought I could escape and yet I am once again back on my bullshit.

My Shakespeare bullshit.

Civilization VII is out and while I have yet to play it, it's amusing that the design ran with some ideas I floated in this old video I made before Civ VI dropped - particularly the idea that a civilization can change over time.

Many people are angry with this change and have widely regarded it as a bad move.

Whelp, that's another terrible idea I've spat out into the aether. Comment below if you want me to ruin any other video game franchises.

Back in 2020 a small group of us got together to do an informal-yet-highly-organized livestreamed reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream to raise money for mutual aid funds for protestors. The result was Worlds Elsewhere Theatre Company: a non-profit virtual theatre that's been staging online productions ever since. Finances have been low, and this may end up being their last production before shuttering. I'm going to be there at 7:00 PM EST to show support, and it would mean a lot if you did, too.
