more and more I find myself using the "don't recommend channel" option on YouTube.
my latest was a channel that just posted the entire Ride the Lightning album by Metallica.
ANYONE who is just bulk posting other peoples stuff = "don't recommend channel".
People who just grifting the "reaction video" nonsense = "don't recommend channel"

Cleaning my YouTube feed up, one grift channel at a time

I can't wait for people to start vibe coding their own apendectomy operations with a cd printed robot scalpel
Why bother with anything professional (ie. Paid professional services) when you can vibe it yourself and hopefully not kill yourself in the process

Full KEXP performance again for like the 5th time this week

I have succumbed...

Is this an inflection point for the world?
Will Ukraine now have a clear path to EU membership?
Will this be the start of the turn away from authoritarianism?

Your new anthem will arrive

well, after roughly 34-36 hours of full-on video editing over 3 days, the most ambitious music video I've ever attempted is DONE!
Sadly, I suspect the next few hours creating the thumbnail are going to be MORE important than the last 3 days and the hours I spent writing and recording the actual song!

easily a full 24 hours over two days on editing this new music video. I 'might' actually get it done the end of tomorrow!
🤘🤘
