This is a state crime, not federal, so he can’t pardon himself as president. I think he could if he was governor of New York, which seems like a long shot.
And New York’s AG has seemed pretty keen on seizing his property if he wouldn’t pay before. Idk if they can do that for these types of fines but I’m sure they will if they can.
I don’t think Jenny is on Nebula. She’s got a patreon where she releases smaller videos every month, but to my knowledge she’s never “left” YouTube - she just takes a long time to create and edit these videos so she can only release them pretty infrequently. She’s got a comment pinned on this video saying about as much.
Are you thinking of Lindsay Ellis? She’s still Nebula (and maybe patreon) exclusive.
Disney opened an incredibly expensive Star Wars “hotel experience”, charging $5k plus for two nights. Jenny Nicholson visited (paying full price) and documented the experience, plus background on how and why the hotel was made, some research into what was going on behind-the-scenes, and the spectrum of fan reactions to the experience. The hotel closed down permanently while she was editing the video, and she also goes into why that happened and some larger trends at Disney surrounding the closure.
Might be easier to start it if you commit to only watching a few chapters at a time. I just finished it after breaking it up into three different viewings and I had a great time.
Jenny Nicholson is a really popular video essayist. She only releases like one of these essay videos a year because she spends so long working on them. (She’s got a patreon where she releases a smaller, lower effort video every month.)
The big videos routinely pull in millions of views, so I’m not surprised the algorithm spams it in people’s feeds. She’s got a lot of followers that watch it right away because they’ve been waiting for a year to see it, so it shoots to the top of the recommendations for other people in that niche. Then there’s a snowball effect where YouTube starts recommending it, more people watch it, so it gets recommended more, etc. You see the same thing on Hbomberguy’s yearly video.
As one of her subscribers, I can tell you that this video has been in the works for years, so we’ve been hearing about it for a long time and were hyped. I just finished it today - broke it up into three different viewings. She breaks all her essays down into chapters so it’s easy to watch just a portion of it at a time.
I’m not the top level commenter. I can say that all of those things suck ass and I would be personally impacted by several of them (roe, trans care)… if I lived in a red state. Yes, I live in a certain amount of fear that the next Republican president might make significant strides towards national policies that could reach me even in my very blue state. Yes, I have a huge amount of sympathy for everyone who does live in a red or swing state. But top level commenter has a point that, right now, I’m not directly, personally impacted by these things. And idk where OP is from but it’s a good wager that their country also has some shit they need to pull together, and I don’t find their concern trolling productive or supportive. Lemmy already leans politically left; how is our domestic policy their business and what do they hope to accomplish here?
Hello… I’m 50??
