Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - a maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - discusses the current situation in and around the Red Sea and should the US continue to protect ships in the region or shift and focus on US-flagged or allied vessels.

His conclusion is that the US is losing as NATO ships are still avoiding the Suez Canal transit while BRICS countries identify themselves as such on the transponder to sail through. joker-amerikkklap gun-hubris

I don't know if it's the one you're thinking of, but there was one registered in Hong Kong that got hit - but on closer inspection, it had been owned by a British company before being 'sold' to a Hong Kong shipping company... that had opened a couple of weeks earlier and only had that one ship. So in fact, it shows the detail of the intelligence used by Yemen to select targets that they were able to see through that ruse.

Looking it up, this was the Chinese-owned but Panamanian-flagged MV Huang Pu.
