Fell into a #YouTube rabbit hole last night regarding Carmen Miranda. At one time one of the most famous women in the world -- parodied in art and famous cartoons, and the template for Chiquita bananas labels and their original commercials, she died reportedly of alcohol, pills, and smoking at only 46.
Most recognizable for her singing dances, bare midriff, and fruit-filled hats, her influence is still felt today.
I stumbled onto an episode of the Jimmy Durante show aired two months after her death (featuring Carmen guest starring) from 1955, where Jimmy first spoke to camera noting that her last performance before dying was for his show (in a comedy skit), that he felt it was still appropriate to show it, and that he had a telegram from her family giving their blessing to his doing so.
If you're not familiar with her, do a YouTube search, and be amazed.
I love that the HMD Pulse Pro is repairable by design… but even in the budget space, a phone has to have a little more than that to truly stand out. Here’s my full video and text review!
I don't do things like my Inhumanoid uploads for the clout, I just want them out there, but it's not a great feeling seeing YouTube channels doing what I can only assume are re-uploads. I don't want to watermark things because I do this for preservation but I'm wondering if I should maybe add something like that to the end credits of my upscales. The vibes are not great!
I remember reading once that Steve, the popular #YouTube#MRE guy who has eaten stuff from rations that's like over 100 years old, has had to go to the hospital a couple of times from poisoning himself.
I respect a man who is willing to injure himself for his passion, even if that passion is eating old canned food.
These days when I see irrelevant ads on websites or #YouTube, I smile instead of getting pissed, for one simple reason: #Google [most probably] have no idea about my preferences. The downside is that it also suggests BS videos on YouTube.
There is also a conspiracy theory take on this too: Google knows me well, but it choose to show me irrelevant ads just to pretend.
NEW! To me, anyway... from the FutureFiber channel on #YouTube. Soooo funny! And clever. Are you in the chicken nugget at 3am quadrant of summer? Find out here!... "An unhinged summer knitting review."
I literally just got a Donald #Trump ad on #YouTube asking us to donate to him. A criminal billionaire who tried to stage a coups wants ME to donate to HIM. Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.
I finally found a rare gem of a supporter who cares enough about my fight for abolishing #gender specific #censorship that he goes the extra mile and PUTS UP HIS OWN VIDEO RESPONSES 🤯 Except now he's banned on #youtube from posting for a week, simply for linking to my website toplesstopics(dot)org 🙃 there's nothing whatsoever sksual on my site, literally just links to the "patriarchy unfriendly" versions of my videos I host on Peertube where my heinous female npls are visible as I just sit there talking about whatever, not at all sksual like the MILLIONS of "people who look male" posting top (less) thirst traps on every mainstream platform. I've known YouTube has blocklisted my website for years (and basically anything else I've ever linked to, see toplesstopics(dot)org/banned for hundreds of screenshots of proof), but someone ELSE, an MAN even, getting a week long ban for linking to my website is a new frontier of blatantly misogynistic fascist censorship that I've yet to see crossed.
It's so enraging, because this guy is such a BAMF for not only commenting on my social media posts, but making FULL-A** VIDEO RESPONSES, which is something I've had happen maybe five times ever in the ten years I've been making videos about top freedom. He says he'll still keep making new videos after the ban ends, and I appreciate him more than words can say for doing this. The ONLY way we can EVER convince these capitalist institutions to stop assigning different levels of censorship based on "what gender you look like" is if A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE are VERY LOUD in pointing out the hypocrisy, and dudes like this are precious all-stars in this fight ❤️

Please subscribe, like, comment etc in support of this wonderful human who has gone above and beyond in supporting my fight against #gender specific #censorship by making multiple video responses to my own posts, and consider making your own videos as well, or at least text or image posts sharing why you think banning the chests of "people who look female" from online and in public as "sexually explicit nudity" but not the chests of "people who look male" is #sexist#misogynist#transphobic hypocrisy that needs to stop ❤️
Attal "félicite" Tibo InShape, devenu premier youtubeur français avec 18.9 millions d'abonnés. "C'est énorme et sec", a déclaré notre Premier ministre sur France 5, sans un mot sur les propos racistes et masculinistes de l'influenceur. Notre classe politique ressemble de en plus au Groland...
This is why I buy DRM free MP3s/FLACs, or I buy CDs and rip them. I can play them in the background, offline, etc. with no subscription required. Subscription services like Spotify pay very little to the artists, so not only do they get a bigger cut of the money when I "buy" a piece of music, but i actually own it with no further transactions required.
The manipulation of social media by some political groups became abundantly clear when, after a solid diet of physics and mathematics videos, with occasional ducks and movie trailers thrown in, just one accidental viewing of a Daily Telegraph video showing CCTV footage of a robbery (which on the face of it would appear apolitical, but which has been hi-jacked in the comments) has videos about Reform U.K. Ltd and an extremist German political party at the top of my #YouTube recommendations.
