  1. As did #CGPGrey years before, #LukeOSullivan has missed the opportunity to explain how British Telecom in 1990 divided #London into 'inner' and 'outer' with the help of #MaureenLipman.

    Never mind the people in fancy dress playing Pass The Sword. The STD code changes were *important*. (-:

    It feels very much in the spirit of being in London but not in London to post this from here.

  6. The Making of Fox News:

    """
    It's not enough that conservatives like us, it's important that liberals hate us.
    """

    Excellent documentary by Fern & Hoog. Divisive politics is by design. Not surprising but quite something to see it laid bare.

    Reminds me of CGPGrey about how "thought germs" in ad/algo-feeds evolve to maximise anger, divisiveness, and departure from truth.

  8. Has anyone else noticed how some #CGPGrey videos' thumbnails have gotten corrupted?

    The edits are definitely on purpose. Random rectangles of images getting flipped, excessive amount of JPEG, liquefy shenanigans, inverts, added white noise, tweaked saturation...

    I wonder if there's any meaning behind these changes or if it's just for the lolz.

  12. Even a soft technically correct decree,
    Will make pennies (mostly) cease to be.

    Saving billions now lost,
    on copper's high cost.

    Thus, whichever path lies ahead,
    Ding dong, the penny is truly dead. (cgp)

  13. You may be tempted today to make a #NewYear #Resolution, then fail and be your same miserable self next year. May I suggest instead you pick a #SeasonalTheme? It's worked for me.

    This season is "routine", because I'm finally learning those are useful to control my anxiety and stay on top of life. Pick a theme, then when it's time to make a choice, go with the theme. Be as broad as you like with your interpretation; it's useful if it simply brings intention and optimism to your choices.

  15. Thanks to the great #CGPGrey for raising the issue (and giving Virginia a B among the many Fs, sorry we did not get you demonetized) youtu.be/l4w6808wJcU

  17. Trust #CGPGrey to inform me that there is an upcoming referendum next week asking #Maine’s residents whether they should update their state flag to a variation of the original 1901 design instead of the current horrid seal-on-blue.

    This follows on the heels of similar successful flag reform initiatives like #Mississippi (2021), #Utah (2023), and #Minnesota (2024).

    This year is filled with #elections all over the globe. Some planned, some less so. It's therefore quite topical to re-share this video by #cgpgrey. Remember that you are a key of power. If you don't #vote you can and will be ignored without consequences. If you want some or more of the treasure, you must #vote. #voting is the bare minimum you can do to better your situation.

  21. A propos nothing, I was reminded of this CGP Grey video on the name Tiffany:

    ...which in turn reminded me of this video about the research into the Tiffany video:
