Hey team!
I'm heading out of town again in a couple days, so I wanted to get this online before I left. Looks like I'm going to pull it off! This is a fast and fun video to celebrate hitting 200k subs. It's missing an ending right now, which I've written and will incorporate tomorrow when I...

And it looks quite a bit different from last you looked at it! Check it out, show your friends.
Cheers, folks! I'm catching a plane to VidCon in a couple hours. Try not to have too much fun while I'm in the air.

This Has Been An Ordeal
As of a couple days ago, you have the rough cut for the next video. It is very, very rough, and this week will be dedicated to polishing it into...

Hey team,
This is the roughest rough cut I've ever shown you. It's missing almost all of the graphics and titles, the script needs revisions, and there several chunks with no footage. But I haven't released anything since ...

Hey team,
The script for the next video has proved very difficult and I just finished my fourth complete rewrite, but it's finally more or less working. Obviously, I'm not going to have it online before the end of the day, though, so it's gonna come out next month. The video I have...

Hey team,
There's not going to be a video this month, and not in the usual "I'm behind schedule but I'll catch up later" way. For some very difficult personal reasons, I need to take a break.
The last videos brought in a lot of new patrons (hi new patrons) so I hate to take the very n...

Hey team - I said the new video(s) would go public early next week. That is no longer true. In trying to record the final audio, I officially got fed up with my crappy microphone and ordered a Blue Yeti and pop screen. They will arrive on Tuesday.
So it'll probably be at least another day o...

Here's the rough of The Alt-Right Playbook: Always a Bigger Fish. Some slides reflected changes I've made to the script, so you don't need to point out discrepancies! And there are a few minor additions and revisions I've made, plus some graphical tricks, that will be in the final versio...

Hey team!
Real quick: The next video is the biggest Alt-Right Playbook so far. Not sure if it's the longest, but it has involved the most unique drawings (362 at last count). And it was my brilliant idea to try and release it during the shortest month!
So: You may get a rough...

After trying to determine whether 3:30 PM on a Friday is an inopportune time to release a video, I have determine that predicting The Algorithm is basically astrology, so hell with it, I'll just publish the video when it's ready.
Which is now! It's online! 2019-01-25 20:35:46 +0000 UTC

I have a video for you. The Alt-Right Playbook: The Card Says Moops. There are some very minor tweaks that need to be made before it goes public - I know I say "Charlemagne" when I should say "Engelbert"...

Hey team,
Time makes fools of us all! My promise to you was that, when I got back from my holiday travels, I would put in the remaining days of the month working on the next video and send you a rough cut, whatever state it was in, before the end of the month. What ended up happening was, w...

I guess we can't really do a retrospective on November without discussing the video takedown, can we?

The new video got taken down as "hate speech," probably by getting mass-flagged by Nazis. I'm disputing it, and will hopefully either get it reinstated or find out what I need to change to reupload it.
In the meantime, here's a mirror...

There was no getting around it. At some point in the series we needed to define fascism. I worry this is going to piss some people off, because you can't discuss fascism in the current political climate without pointing some fingers.
This will go public on Thursday morning. Not even a rough cut th...

Hey team! Here is the rough cut for the new Alt-Right Playbook.
I have actually already done my rewrites and recorded the final audio, but I haven't edited it yet, so this version is with my temp narration. About half a page's worth of the script was cut before I drew the slides, so you may notice...

Hey all,
I'm having a quandary about the next video. The plan was to release the whole thing as one, big video. But some part of me doesn't like the idea of releasing a video that long. So I've been considering releasing it as a playlist, all 8 parts as separate videos but released in quick succes...
