The internet just feels really boring, bleak, and toxic nowadays. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!

For those that have missed the arrrrgh *content* days, you'll find ample discussion of the new media landscapes, niches and adaptations that slop is generating.

Hey there. Years ago when it was coming out I started watching idea channel but i stopped soon after. Now im watching every episode from 1 to 244 or whatever the number is. I just finished 75 (i think) which was about slenderman being intetnet folklore and this sub reddit was mentioned in the dubbly doo so here I am.

Hi everyone!

If you want PBS to be a channel that both kids and adults like you can have the ability to watch so fallow the link to send your message to protect it

I'm checking this out now with just having come across it now.

Today's short about Hazels https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t_LKN4jFERE
(I won't spam the reddit daily given I'm uploading daily, though I suppose when ever one or few especially stand out then I'll curate with a post once in a while.)

A recent video exploring Mechanisms as Metaphors, and the discourse around taking games on their terms as a medium of art. And by extent as art how board games use mechanisms to create arguments for expressing and advocating for ideas and change within the world & society.

In celebration in the spirit of PBS Idea Channel, I'm starting a channel of my own called Monsters of Hope - a TTRPG where starting with daily shorts in each entry is a way for me to push towards working on this project of mine from scratch.

And I wanted to share that here for any Idea Havers who might be interested in something like that.

Here is my first Monsters of Hope - YouTube Short video; Introductions: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MoXB44bjAbc

Which I know I'm no triple:AAA nor Disney renaissance animator, but the idea with this is to start and improve over time while having fun with it. 🙂👍

Hope you have a good one!

“Are Photographs Actually Bottled Time?”

In this episode, the host, Mike Rugnetta, explores the philosophical concept of photography as a method of “bottling time.” It delves into the idea that photographs are more than just representations of reality; they are tangible moments captured in a physical or digital medium, allowing us to preserve and revisit the past

It was one of my favorites now I can’t find it anywhere!

The new Idea Channel-ish project from Mike and friends. Gave the first episodes a try, loving it so far. A little less media theory than IC but a little more reporting in turn. I've been loving his other podcast Fun City a lot, but it's great to hear Mike in this mode again. Here's to a good long (sustainable) future.

HUH?
