I hadn't heard of this YouTuber until now, but he went into some good depth on what's going on with Discord with the age verification rollout news.

He covers:

• Discord's previous data breach where government IDs were stolen
• Other companies with age verification and similar promises yet have had customer data stolen.
• Discord's preparation to go public with an IPO.
• How Discord's co-founder stepped aside in 2025 and a former vice-chairman of Activision/Blizzard took over as CEO.

Windows hit its lowest market share in decades, Microsoft lost $400 billion in a week, and now their own president is admitting they need to fix the OS. SteamOS and Linux aren't waiting around.

An American superhero fan short film based on the Power Rangers franchise; unlike the kid-friendly franchise, the short depicts an adult-oriented take on the source material.

It was directed by Joseph Kahn, who co-wrote with James Van Der Beek and Dutch Southern, and produced by Adi Shankar and Jil Hardin. The short film featured an ensemble cast starring Katee Sackhoff, Van Der Beek, Russ Bain, Will Yun Lee, and Gichi Gamba. It was released on YouTube and Vimeo on February 23, 2015.

Oddly wholesome internet weirdness.

Ever wanted to build your own couch, but don't have any tools except a large 3D printer and a broken sewing machine you got from goodwill? Well what a coincidence, me too! So here I am spending 4 months building the most complicated over engineered 3D printed couch, all because I saw one in a store and thought, I could do way better for way cheaper. This is the journey of all the suffering I went through to build a couch, the trials and problems being solved, to hopefully inspire you to start building that project you've always thought about, even though it won't always be easy. I think my couch came out alright, its not the prettiest thing in the world but it's mine. It is still a bit lumpy because I haven't properly sewn the pillows to go inside the top part but that's a problem for later me now.

Bro took 25 in agility and leg joint durability.

I watched the game with a bunch of friends, including three Spanish-first-language speakers. Sadly I’ve not been very successful at picking up languages, so I had to suffice with enjoying the groove and tunes of the performance. But I did occasionally peek over at my friends, all of whom were paying intense attention and gave some verbal reactions a few times. There was clearly a lot of meaningful context that I’d love to be keyed into.

I’m also an anime nerd, and the subtitle work that some fans do for their favorite shows are outstanding; not just providing cogent translations of dialog, but also adding cultural reference context (usually in different colors elsewhere in the screen) relating to specific lines, actions or locations.

I really hope somebody with the skills and knowledge can put this together and find someplace to host it that won’t take it down!

Why is Irish wool worth almost nothing — despite being natural, sustainable, and produced in huge volumes every year?

In this video, I visit an Irish wool processing facility to follow wool from the moment it leaves the sheep to where the real value is (and isn’t) created. As a sheep farmer and shearer, I see wool every day — but most farmers are paid next to nothing for it.

So what’s going on?

We look at:

Why raw Irish wool has such a low price

Where money is made in the wool industry

The costs of handling, processing, and storing wool

Why wool is treated more like a by-product than a commodity

Whether new uses like insulation, felt, and workwear can change the economics

This isn’t a rant — it’s an honest look at the economics of wool, why farmers have disengaged from it, and why the value exists further down the supply chain.

If you’re interested in farming, agricultural economics, sustainability, or where everyday materials actually come from, this one’s for you.

In this video, Federico Faggin, inventor of the first microprocessor, discusses his quantum theory of consciousness and cosmology. He explains that humans are not just bodies but beings existing in a deeper reality where consciousness and free will reside. He emphasizes that spacetime and matter are the "permanent memory of the experience of the self-knowing of One".

Skit that conjoined twins Carmen and Lupita did with Brandon Rogers. Lupita co-wrote it too :)

Also, are there any YouTube alternatives that's NOT destined to fail, and that's NOT used as an alt-tech platform?

From Tom Scott's Newsletter:

I've no idea how I missed Henry Segerman until now. This is the antithesis of clickbait: a simple title, "expanding racks", hides a wealth of surprising visuals and explanations. There were multiple times, watching this video, where I said "oh!" out loud. Give it at least fifteen seconds. And full marks for including some project files in the description, too!
