I know I've reblogged it before but I cannot recommend F.D. Signifier's video on the Kendrick/Drake beef highly enough. This is extremely good analysis of a subculture from an expert and enthusiast that's accessible to a layperson, with the necessary historical context.
Also he dunks on Drake fans in a hilarious but mean way and I respect that. But he also has enough critical distance to step back and acknowledge some of the kinda shitty ways Drake's been treated, while keeping in mind that Drake just fucking sucks.
It's well worth your time and I'll be checking out his other stuff.

ANYWAY. Casting a wide net to then talk about Palestine.
@abdalsalam1990 has been a teenager trying to support their family in the midst of struggle you and I cannot imagine. Nader has been so kind and empathetic talking to me, showing a strength I know I do not have. Please help them if you can, and donate. If you can鈥檛, please try and spread Nader鈥檚 fundraiser. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-abd-al-salam-and-his-family-get-through-this-war-ingaza
And I linked these channels who I know have active communities. If you can spread word there (on discords, email links etc) for Nader and other Fundraisers you might have found I鈥檓 sure alot of progress could be made. Please try and help these people, and get word out.

Someone talking about their interests: "sorry, you probably don't want to hear all this."
Me, who has 42 video essays on subjects i have literally never thought of before saved to watch later: "you don't know my mind!"

Okay can someone recommend good YouTube video essayists? I like Jacob Geller a lot, defunctland is also good, I occasionally throw on hbomberguy or FD signifier but I'm looking for recommendations I may have never heard of before

Watching F.D. Signifier's new video on black cops and started feeling weirdly...grieved, I guess is the word. My dad's a cop. He is black. My brother is in the military. He's black. I'm black.
The ways in which I diverge from them in politics are one of the things I've had to reconcile with. Like... knowing that they're cogs in this evil, putrid machine absolutely nauseates me. And yet? All I can do is love them and hope they realize what they're doing.

This is a really good video-essay by FD Signifier going to the vote-data to construct a theory of what happened in the 2024 election. Spoiler Alert: White Racists are Racist, and Misogynists Hate Women -___-

don't know if anyone else already shared this, F. D. Signifier made a playlist called Rejecting Liberalism, which has a bunch of video that go over the failures of the Democratic Party, how conservatism takes advantage of the system, and what we could do about it

Fiq dropped this 2 days ago and it already has well over a million views. Which is pretty good for a 3 and 1/2 hour video.
This is going to serve as the definitive analysis of the Drake / Kendrick beef, and that's good, because this is basically half a semester of lectures from a 200-level course on the last two decades of mainstream rap. By a guy who knows exactly why he's mentioning what he is, and what he isn't.
History and cultural context are everything here. Sure, fights between celebrities are fun on their own. But when you know how we got here...oh man. This makes the great Kendrick tracks even better.
This whole thing was two galaxies colliding. Before you listen to "Not Like Us" for the 32nd time, take a third of the daylight and learn about everything funky and heavy that is going on just under the surface.
You'll only appreciate it more.
Plus now you can be the most irritating Trivia White at parties!
...I mean, moreso.
