Bada Bingstream schedule update
The first Sopranos club stream will (probably) be held this Thursday at 6 PT/9ET, and will publish the link an hour beforehand here on Patreon. I will be joined this week by Sopranos first timer (I was surprised too) Dan Olson aka Foldable Human, and probably some other Sopranos superfans. See yo...

One piece of media I've never really touched on (besides a passing mention in one of the Game of Thrones episodes) is the Sopranos, in part because I didn't have much thesis-wise to say about it but mostly because there are approximately 45,000 video essays on YouTube with some variation on title...

Hey guys,
As a few of you have surmised I’ve spent the last couple months dealing with stuff that has nothing to do with the Internet or career, for better or worse. I will say this – being out of the public eye has honestly been a pretty good call. I do keep an eye on things, and just ...
2022-05-01 20:56:44 +0000 UTC View PostAncient Pre-YouTube content
We've decided to add my ancient #problematic content as a Patreon perk in one place since there were so many unauthorized reuploads on YT we’ve been having to remove. They’re bad and you shouldn’t watch them, but they are available to all $2+ patrons for the time being.

failed update
I keep trying to write an update that will give some illusion that I have some kind of a path forward in mind, but every time I start it just all comes out rage and bile. I’m just so fucking angry I can’t function, let alone make coherent business decisions.
In some ways I regret the to...

Hey guys,
At the end of October we will be discontinuing the $10 tier, meaning this upcoming video (slated for release a week from today) will be the last one to feature names of Patrons in the credits of the video. Going forward patrons can still give as much or as little as they want, but...
