To wash the taste of Jordon Peterson out of this thread, here's a University of Nottingham professor celebrating the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web by talking about...PostScript mostly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D40wPq1e2Sk

Sad to hear BosnianBill is out of the game. Hopefully he got a nice little chunk of change from his time on youtube and all the items he made for him and LPL's store. Anyways, here's a very deep dive into fonts... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LndgfGjGImw

The punchline at the end of this one since they all work at the same firm, their font and card stock would be standardized by the company's branding department and they wouldn't be able to make any choices about any of those things was pretty funny (and something that I can't believe I didn't think of first).

That was...rough. The whole time I just remembered bits from the F Plus episode on the aesthetics wiki.

Hot new Fall of Civilizations dropped this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSfFq02pK4s Thanks to an abundance of really good stock footage for Petra, this is probably one of the better-looking visual episodes.

Like, I know he's just doing a bit throughout, but that video was still bad for my blood pressure. (Those absolute  at him seeming to actually brag about the welds at 3:11.)

Who covers similar material but is slightly older and significantly queerer. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrq3JYirgV-BLluzTF6X_7A It's very interesting to hear her describe internet fads that aren't that old to her younger audience as though they were ancient history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Y5HFjiBNk

This is only slightly educational content, but it does have one hell of a twist about halfway through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYVZh5kqaFg Nothing quite like being told "hey, you're trying to build a guided missile for youtube".

On the one hand, this youtuber's fashion sense is the visual equivalent of nails on chalkboard for me. (The number of rings on his fingers and bullshit on his wrists/belt/etc is absolutely comical.) On the other hand, getting a look at Karahan Tepe is pretty cool and it's actual educational content and not conspiracy theory/ancient aliens bullshit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EaKFKYPXVk LanceHunter fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Aug 12, 2023 |

mystes posted:that's goth fashion? I thought they dressed in black The urge to intensely over-accessorize is most common in the teenage goth, but it can be a feature in other style genres as well. Wiccans way too into Stevie Nicks, for example, are very most likely to end up covered in similar levels of detritus. This guy's style is the kind if thing you'd expect from a 20 year old who spent a summer backpacking and feels compelled to collect bits and bobbles to let the world know how well-traveled they are. I'm sure every one of those items, from that ridiculous belt buckle, to every ring, to every bracelet, to the bandanna around tied around his belt; all have some story behind them that the dude considers intensely meaningful. I'm sure he'll grow out of it eventually. And yeah, his actual content is actually worthwhile despite his tragic fashion sense.

An acquaintance of mine had been trying to become an influencer for a while and went through a period of loudly complaining about how “they’ve got me shadow-banned!” because they weren’t getting any views or subscribers. Finally a mutual friend finally sat them down and explained to them that their content was just really mediocre.
