For gaming, I tend to go with ACG and Noisy Pixel.

For movies in physical media formats, I like to watch Jeff Rauseo's channel, from time to time.

Recently found a transportation news channel called City For All, which is pretty niche, but I found it surprisingly interesting and relaxing.

For tech segments, I enjoy TechAltar and its sister channel The Friday Checkout.

I'm also keen on The Linux Experiment, Gardiner Bryant, and Michael Horn for Linux/open-source news and tips, as well as Continuum Gaming for Jolla/SailfishOS.

Somewhere in between the last two, I like the privacy segments from the Proton channel, together with Tech Gets Real.

Dr. James Gill (the content is actually pretty good, I'm just massively misusing his contributions) and Restoration Kamasutra channels for that sweet sweet ASMR.

For news and politics discussions, TLDR News EU or TLDR News Global, as well as EU Made Simple, and I guess The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight for poking fun at the news from across the pond.

Love the mono version of that album. Can't afford a good early pressing, but the one that came out a few years ago mastered by James Guthrie and Bernie Grundman is nothing to scoff at.

Disgusting traitor. We need to put a stop to foreign interference like this, they are unevenly backed by the billionaire/Epstein class, weaponize social media to flood the zone, and are puppets for the US' nefarious agenda to dismantle the EU and have Europe become a vassal state to American and Russian interests. There is no slippery slope in outright denying the far-right fascist scum from getting a platform, and we shouldn't have to hold an ethics commitee to muse on whether our freedom of speech doesn't quite hold up to the standards of the country that erases mentions of DEI, homosexuality, and women from their government sites, muscles late night show hosts out of a job, and routinely berates journalists who fail to smack their botox-laden lips on their asshole.

I used a hardened version of Fennec, but have switched to Iron Fox, through the Accrescent store. Both are privacy-centric Firefox forks for Android. I think they're your best bet.

Whatever your views on him as an actor or his political affiliation, you should watch the original speech in its entirety, rather than keep this soundbite in and of itself and hijack its meaning. It's also worth noting this was recorded in early 2023, so a lot of things have changed since then.

I think it's a powerful message and well delivered. Something the hardline MAGA crowd definitely needed to heed. And all around the world, as more of these populist movements rise or have risen.

Decidedly have no love for the GOP, but he was a politician in a time where the GOP was immensely different from what it is today, and the focus of the party was not overt bigotry and absolutism. Iirc, he was also talked about as a bit of a black sheep during the Bush Jr.-era GOP politics, but I might be misremembering things based on my own impressions from that time.
