How to compete in a saturated market…
(Does this video make me look a little nutty?)
Why did Russia invade Ukraine? Bill Maher and Ben Shapiro try to make sense of it…
Here’s a test you might get if you were applying for US citizenship. I got three wrong. Does that mean I would fail?
I’ve never believed that having a gun in my house would be a good idea. Studies show that all sorts of bad events result from it, including killing or injuring family members. But this account made me wonder.
Picasso at work.
Another vintage gem…
I’ve become a fan of Allison Young after randomly discovering her on YouTube a few weeks ago.
Here, she sings Olivia Rodrigo’s “Happier” in the style of the The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las. (With Stephanie Amber and Sunny Holiday’s backup vocals, Conrad Bauer on guitar, Adam Kubota on bass, Aaron McLendon on drums, and Maestro Scott Bradlee on piano.)
From The Innocence Project: Stop the Execution of Melissa Lucio in Texas
On April 27, Melissa Lucio is scheduled to be executed by the State of Texas for a crime that never occurred. Melissa’s 2-year-old daughter, Mariah, died tragically two days after accidentally falling down a flight of stairs. Despite the fact that Melissa had no history of child abuse and that she has maintained her innocence for the 14 years she’s spent on death row, the State still has her scheduled for execution. You can read more about Melissa’s case here, but we also need your support to stop her execution and prevent an irreversible injustice. Will you add your name right now to stop Texas from killing Melissa or text SAVEMELISSA to 97016?
They should have a name for the act of enjoying this sort of video compilation. Schadenfreude doesn’t quite work because it usually applies to people you know or know of that you don’t like for some reason. Here, we take pleasure in people being shocked, splattered, bumped, smashed, or otherwise humiliated… simply because it’s so damn funny.
Watch it here.
