I watch too much YouTube so you don't have to! Here's my holiday present to you... a continuation (from Mastodon) of [peterme's YouTube picks]. Making School Cafeteria Pizza from the 1980s & 90s youtu.be/40MvjFaTVzE?... A bit of near-term nostalgia for Americans who went to public school.

[peterme's YouTube picks] Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam youtu.be/vc4yL3YTwWk?... A remarkable bit of investigative internet journalism. I appreciate how Megalag reminds you it's not just Honey, but PayPal. This isn't some fly-by-night operation.

[peterme's YouTube picks] I watched the da Vinci doc on PBS, and so was primed for Great Art Explained's take on The Last Supper youtu.be/eKyYPSpiC9g?... Digs into the technical, artistic, historic, and cultural components of the masterwork. (Great Art Explained is well worth your while, generally.)

[peterme's YouTube picks] Among my favorite channels is Good Work, from Morning Brew, an archly funny take on fucked up American business culture. Their year-end wrap up doesn't disappoint. youtu.be/ZB6UQ9AOOeg?...

[peterme's YouTube picks] Like many, I dig Hot Ones, and, like many, have gone 🤔 about the Scoville counts of those final sauces. It turns out we've been mislead. Howtown does a fantastic job of breaking it down in "The Truth about Hot Ones sauces". youtu.be/dutpBSKj8JY?...

[peterme's YouTube picks] Only a minute long, this teaser for the forthcoming Cunk on Life ends with the funniest line I've heard in weeks. youtu.be/ByCxxZOwQUI?...

[peterme's YouTube picks] It's Egg Nog season, and many cocktail YouTubers are sharing their approach. How To Drink offers up what looks like an excellent recipe (it's the second one), which I have yet to try, but plan to: youtu.be/VUl99SUhA1c?...

[peterme's YouTube picks] If you have never seen The Frantics (a Canadian sketch comedy troupe from the 80s) skit called Last Will and Temperament, well, enjoy: youtu.be/tfMcxmOBmpk?...

[peterme's YouTube picks] Relatedly, Patrick Willems celebration of exaggerated expressionist urbanity in 80s and 90s cinema is fun. youtu.be/JRxu9T79EVI?... And, while you're on his channel, his previous two, focusing on films about trains, are *excellent*.

[peterme's YouTube picks] As a nerd of a certain age, I found yourself caught up in the cult of Richard Feynman. Andrea Collier does an estimable job debunking the cult, while celebrating the physicist, while excoriating the misogynist, and its all worth watching. youtu.be/TwKpj2ISQAc?...

[peterme's YouTube picks] Holy Fuck. Bobby Fingers' latest, on building a diorama of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, is unhinged brilliance at it's finest. It's very much a 'you think it's about one thing, but it's really about another... and another..." youtu.be/NF4VJJKTjy8?...
