  1. Can't believe someone asked @hankgreen "Whats a flicker?" in reference to Flickr, the photo sharing website, and then he went on to explain this history of Flickr. 😅

    If you thought having to explain a fax machine or a dial up modem made you feel old, imagine having to explain what a website was from 2004 (yet is still running today).

    That said, hopefully its not too long before we have to answer "Whats a facebook?"

  6. In the continuing saga of @hankgreen geeking about #Artemis2, he shares a really cool sorta timelapse of an active Earth! It’s probably the coolest image to come out of the flight. 🌍

  7. 512 Pixels: The Wonderful World of Artemis II Photos. “Hank Green has made something really cool. Called the Artemis II Photo Timeline, it’s an interactive way to scroll through photos from NASA’s recent crewed mission to cislunar space — but pinned to NASA’s official schedule of the mission.”

  8. One of the things that's really hard as a rational person who understands scientific research is explaining what makes some data valid and other data invalid to people who *aren't* well educated in the ways of good science.
    This video by Hank Green is not going to fix that, but its the most incredible rant about the issue (indirectly).

  9. @socialmedia
    #HankGreen made an observation that like with #food , we are hungry for #information , and like with food there is a ton of processed garbage information out there for you. I will take that further to say that especially in places like FB and X you have to be constantly aware of wanting to eat that information and believe it and you have to learn, then unlearn it like yoyo dieting. Places like #mastodon are much closer to your local food coop, where you don't have to worry as much about eating garbage information but it still pops up here and there. Like with bad food, having it out of sight out of mind makes you crave it less which is why I'm on mastodon a lot more than the other platforms. Too much garbage information there I don't want to get tempted to get obese and poisoned by. Staying over here might be a little more dull for many but so is food that is good for you when comparing it to the processed crap. Lets hope we can get all social media platforms some day to help us limit addictive information, same with forcing our food companies, most bought by cigarette companies and running their food business on the same model as when they made cigarettes, and how many social media platforms make their social media addictive using the same model as casinos.
  10. There are four fundamental types of people:

    1. This who have never heard of John or Hank Green.
    2. Those who were aware of John Green first.
    3. Those who were aware of Hank Green first.
    4. Those who were aware of both simultaneously (dftba!)

  11. With #Artemis2 we should've disposed of all the scientific pretence and just said that we were going back to the moon to get better photos.

  12. So, I've been on Mastodon for nearly 4 years, and I am still super ignorant about how the fediverse even works. So I have questions, among which are:

    1. Can AI scrape posts on Mastodon?

    2. If it can, is it possible that posts here discussing how bad AI is are things AI will use to make itself even worse?

  13. HANK GREEN REJECTS FINANCIAL GAINS FOR WIDER IMPACT

    YouTuber Hank Green chooses educational impact over high pay. He also tells Gen Z to diversify investments beyond Tesla due to AI.

  14. Hank Green is choosing to focus on teaching more people instead of earning more money. This is like choosing a school trip over a big party.

  15. Spotted a good video from #HankGreen today about some of the scientific inaccuracies in #ProjectHailMary which i basically agreed with. And he called out the first think I had noticed!

  16. I love #HankGreen and #JasonMantzoukas and #Taskmaster, and this #AskHank interview has all three!

    And as a bonus at the end of the segment, Hank credits @maureenjohnson from #SaysWhoPodcast for getting him into Taskmaster in the first place!

  17. Want some truly awesome news? The Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone opened last week! This is going to be a huge deal for the families in that country.

    They had 13 deliveries and admitted 27 patients on the first day.

  22. There are a lot of good thoughts in this #HankGreen interview with #KylaScanlon, but this part stands out like a flashing light:

    "Why do I pay lower taxes on money I don't work for?"

    That should have been the rallying cry of every progressive candidate over the past 10 years. Raising the #CapitalGains tax rate is so much simpler than creating an entirely new #WealthTax from scratch, and it would make the #Democrats look like the party that values hard work.

  27. Associated Press: Hank and John Green’s studio becomes a nonprofit as they aim to make ‘trustworthy content’ online. “The change is intended to ensure viewers have access to engaging, fact-based content that can compete free of advertisers’ interests in the attention economy. It comes as artificial intelligence gives rise to absurdist ‘brain rot’ and distorted deepfake images while […]

  28. I am just finishing up my latest Linux tutorial video. I spent the entire day working on it.

    I am getting better at editing. My biggest goal of this video is to remove the "ums" and silent pauses. I am eternally greatful for Kdenlive. The more I learn to use it, the more I enjoy it. It is very accessible. I have a lot more respect for professional video editors. You can spend many hours getting it perfect.

    One thing I am trying to remember as I continue this journey is from Hank Green, who popularized the 80% rule. Basically, perfect should not be the enemy of good. It might not be perfect by an "ai's" standards, but it is 100% human made and that is what counts. With that said, I learn something every time I make a video and I believe they are getting better.

    I really hope you all enjoy my next video! It should be up tomorrow morning around 10:00 am EST (-5:00 GMT). Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! Also, if you missed my last video, I took a look at elementaryOS 8.1:

  29. Ett längre utlägg från Hank Green om hur vatten faktiskt används av AI-branschen och varför alla har fel. Det blir allt mer raljerande fram emot slutet, vilket känns symboliskt för att område som ger oss alla(på någon nivå) ångest. #AI #waterConsumption #HankGreen #VLogBrothers

  30. Is Hank an AI-doomerist now?

    I wrote about Hank Green, my trip to Savannah, and AI-Doomerism.

    It's not lost on me that Hank is the internet's favorite science influencer. That's what makes his last two videos on AI so jarring.

  31. "This is not the time for lazy science."

    Many thanks to Evie Unraveling for making this video about the science, history, and technology of knitting. If you didn't see the video SciShow knitting video, it is full of misinformation, lazy science, and misogyny. I love SciShow, but that was irresponsible. As a female scientist and crocheter, this correction video by Evie was very affirming.

    youtu.be/5btQokB32dQ?si=X0hh33

    The video was removed from SciShow's YouTube page after the backlash and Hank Green has posted an apology on his own Tiktok.

  32. CW: USPol autism Trump RFKJr debunking

    Another wonderful, fact-laden rant by Hank Green debunking the Trump/RFKJr autism crap we saw this week. He brings the numbers, including the ones the perpetrators excluded because they'd ruin the credibility of their assertions.

    Alas, I don't have much hope that this will change the minds of the people pushing this bad "science". But the rest of us should know this.

    When I read angler fish I immediately wanted to try doing a Hankler fish! I don't know if it's particularly recognizable, but I'm happy with it anyway :P
