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 latest Houthi attack against MV Tutor using an Unmanned Surface Vessel and killing a merchant mariner onboard (the fourth mariner killed since the start of the attacks in November 2023). Should the world navies adopt a new strategy and utilize convoys to run ships through the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, and the Gulf of Aden?

It's one of those things where he's a shipping industry guy more than he is a politics one. Ideologically he's always struck me as a radlib of some sort, but it's a channel that normally covers logistics and economics run by a historian. The only way to frame the conflict if he isn't getting into the politics of it is through the lenses he analyses a ship hitting a bridge. At least he's been consistently pessimistic about the US winning since the start.
