One of my hobbies over the last five years has been to collect and show people the weirdest stuff on YouTube. But I find that in the last year YouTube weirdness is just... gone. Buried in algorithmically generated Top 10 videos.

That whole "kids YouTube" video fiasco was only discoverable if you mainlined videos for babies for a week until the algorithm freaked out and gave you terrifying trash.

If there's weird stuff on YouTube it no longer ever appears in the related videos list.

Kinda weird how one argument Sebastian gives Ariel against humans is that they literally kill and eat his and Ariel's friends but Ariel is like "yeah, but legs, tho."

It's eerily quiet on the streets of Berlin. Is sports over for the next four years?

Is this modern fashion or Devo merchandise?

IN DANGER OF BEING PRODUCTIVE THIS MORNING. SLACK DOWN!

Ital Tek has a new album coming! I was informed this by:

- a bandcamp notification on my phone
- a bandcamp message from the artist on my phone
- an email with the bandcamp message from the artist
- an email from Planet Mu

Maybe don't spam all those channels so hard.

The new video is here. The music sounds alright. youtube.com/watch?v=sXaRvZdJvD

Apparently I'm in a money spending mood. Is the Steam controller any good? Does it really replace a keyboard and mouse for most games?

If you're in Berlin and want music, my band The Providers is playing dramatic pop music starting at 9 on the dot at Arcanoa. Free entry.

I recently discovered this kids show Miraculous: Ladybug and Cat Noir and I'm totally amazed by how good it is. The writing is good and the design and animation is really high quality. It's not Disney or any big studio. Feels like it came out of nowhere.

Today's weird Bandcamp thing: albums with only one three-minute track priced at 10 USD. What's up with that?

I hear screaming monkey noises from outside. Is this sports?

I will play a show with my band, The Providers, on Saturday at Arcanoa in Berlin! You're very welcome to come if you're in the area. Doors open at 8PM, music starts at 9PM!

You can listen to some of our music (quite old recordings) here: soundcloud.com/the-providers

Dropped into Reddit to learn that the creator of Bitcoin was a time-traveling alien with a quantum computer.

I want to go build, like, a large socialist compound thing in the woods somewhere.

This is practical, totally. >_>
