the HIPSTER REPORT debuts MONDAY
No cultural figure was issued their death certificate as many times as hipsters. For 15 years, hipsters were the skinny jean-wearing boogeymen who enraged the world by crossing the wires between irony and earnesty, individuality and conformity. Hipsters were the canvas onto which everyone projected their conflicting ideas about what was wrong with young, college-educated people living in the city.Many presume hipsterdom died off, but they’re wrong. The social habits hipsters created are the background software we’re still running on today. ...

AI report audio corrected, patreon vs youtube + thank you!!
Hey gang, I just re-uploaded the AI report with corrected audio so it doesn't sound *as much* like a 2014 rekt compilation. I accidentally turned the gain up too high while recording, so after this mistake we'll be back to the crystal clear iMovies I'm renowned for.Some have asked about uploading the report to Youtube instead of Patreon. Neither are perfect options. Youtube has demonetized me and I'm currently at 2/3 content violation strikes for attempting to upload past reports. Unfortunately Patreon doesn't currently allo...

UPDATE: new report
Hello, I've been HUSTLING to get this new report done as hard as humanly possible but given the length of the Post Internet Report (1 hour, 20 minutes) and the sheer volume of images of different artists' work (closing in on 800 slides as of now), it's just not gonna be possible to be completed by tomorrow.So, I'm gonna keep editing it over the weekend and it'll be out on Monday April 3!

Updates! New report. Prints. Line edits. Studio visits.
Hey gang, here's some updates:1. The Greetings from Kekistan Report has been reconceived as THE LEFT CAN'T MEME report. I've been writing this one throughout November, but as you can imagine sometimes it's tough to finish a 10,000 word script, edit down, perform/record it, and video edit it with 300 images added in just a month's time.. so I'm aiming to have this one out by the end of December. I think it's the type of script that ultimately requires more time because it traces a history of liberal memes since 2012, ...
