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?

This guy keeps talking about "rights" in a way that makes no sense. "The Houthis don't have the right to close this region!" Like what does that even mean? We are beyond rights here. It has been demonstrated that international law will be ignored if it gets in the way of a genocide. Trying to apply legal precedence reasoning here just doesn't make any sense.

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.
