New perk, news, and a link
Added 2020-09-27 21:41:56 +0000 UTCFirst, here's a new link for the Discord: https://discord.gg/b9zfZTE
Next, We've started filming the long format content for the new channel. It'll still be a while before it goes live, but it's actively being produced now. The new channel will also include a new perk for patreon supporters. Since the videos aren't time-sensitive, they will be released here first.
If you're not familiar with what the new channel will include, here's a brief breakdown of the plans:
On-location content: We'll travel to a specific location and use that area's history, stories, and architecture as a backdrop to discuss major events and questions the same way I normally use a historical incident to highlight parallels.
Biographical videos: We're going to attempt to separate the mythology and the history surrounding historical figures and how they impact today.
Landmarks: We'll provide the history of major landmarks and use their construction and history to frame major issues of today.
Community networking: As COVID subsides, we'll begin combining on-location filming with helping those in the local area establish community networks.
Interviews: In-person interviews with activists, creators, public officials, etc.
Behind the scenes footage: Self-explanatory.
None of this should impact the daily video production on the first channel.
There are still a few surprises in store for the new channel, but I think everybody will be happy with it. I can't thank you enough. Your continued support makes this possible. This would literally not be possible without you.

Man, your name is really specific to me, and I hope you're doing good no matter what. If you know anything about the OSI model, then you probably know who I am and we may have been in the same office; Mostly, I'm glad you concur with Beau's philosophy and Fuj as well.

2020-11-19 15:35:46 +0000 UTCUsed to use Discord to play Minecraft and Warcraft with my brother in Texas. We are in a different state. I logged into the Discord link provided and I can't make heads or tails of how to use this...And I looked at the Help and Beginner's File and still don't have any idea what I am looking at.

2020-10-12 06:14:54 +0000 UTCHey - not sure how to ask for a video. I follow you on youtube, but despise twitter and facebook. Anyhoo a sign appeared in my smallish Northwest progressive neighborhood, USA that says BLEXIT. I googled it quick-like and it seems like a group wherein white people support black people who are happy to blame black people for their lot in America. Have you heard of this?
