Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I made a rare exception to watch an Interruptathon for Bassem Youssef but I can't go another round. Hope Hasan got to actually say more than 7 consecutive words defending Palestine at some point during the interview though.

Hasan killed it, as much as he could have in. Letting Piers interrupt him for the first segment, asking if he could finish only twice before letting Piers shout over him, lulling him into a false sense of security and control.

Then in the next round Hasan absolutely steamrolls over his pleading opponent begging to get a word in, drops the APARTHEID STATE haymaker and reversing the "do you condemn" chokehold.

All while making Piers look like the absolute self-centered propagandist he began the show protesting he was. Fucking masterful.

I think I understand boxing now.

Piers is so incredibly unlikeable, I feel like it has to be the point. He comes off as the pinnacle of "pompous", and I can't help but feel like it's intentional. It's like looking at a cartoon villain; surely I, as a viewer, am supposed to hate him, right?

Bassem was more entertaining imo. Opening up with that joke about trying to murder his wife was a strong choice.

Dude found a way to make the one boomer joke funny.

I've been replaying that shit like five times just to try to remember what it feels like to have emotions other than quiet despair

Damn Youssef was incredible
