Happy birthday to Robert Johnson, born on this day in 1911.

Although his recording career spanned only seven months, he is recognized as a master of the blues, particularly the Delta blues style, and as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.

PEAK Metal 5 Album Runs. What are some you can think of??

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

“Promises” by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra was released 5 years ago today.

An album that hits you on another level.

This is painful. Smash JT is unspeakably ignorant, uneducated, and unread on anything that isn’t harassing women, pretending to play games, or making up stories for his channel. Stick to what you’re an expert at champ.

This Philly launch for my recent book w @monthly_review was a special one due to the presence of so many friends. I was very honored to have @NaziaKaziTweets & Jennifer Ponce de León share their thoughts.

Elita Prime isn’t believable like the normal giant robot I’ve come to cherish. 😩

Smash JT and others have almost hit rock bottom. Random person doesn’t like game and they loose their fucking minds. Absolute clown show.

The fact Asmongold exists at all is plenty of evidence the patriarchy hasn’t gone anywhere.

Smash JT should definitely have his hard drive checked.

@sleepy_devo Dude is wrecking you bro. 😂😂

This apology, which I can only assume was somehow forced to extract a settlement, was painful to listen to.  It is absurd and ironic that Ethan accuses Hasan of being a puppeteer while LARPing as a comic book villain in this way. While it is unfortunate that Ethan appears to have been able to exert control over her in this way, I am happy that Kaceytron was given the opportunity to minimize the harm to her family, avoid the risk of losing her home, and move on from Ethan’s lawsuit.

I want to make several things clear. My trial date is 10/26/26 and I look forward to beating Ethan in court. While Kacey (and likely Frogan) have caved to Ethan Klein, which is a decision I doubt they have made lightly, settling like this is not an option for me. It is not an option for me because it would set a precedent that endangers the financial security of any streamer that creates reaction content. If you create content that involves commenting on videos on Twitch, or enjoy consuming reaction content, you should be on my side. If you don't believe me, please read ahead and let me convince you.

I watched and reacted to Ethan's highly anticipated Content Nuke shortly after it aired. Make no mistake, my coverage more than doubled Ethan's video in length. Ethan's video spanned roughly 104 minutes. I spent 230 minutes reacting to, critiquing, and commenting on his video and the content in it, during which I paused 210 times. That means I added 120% of the runtime in commentary, on average pausing every 30 seconds to add 36 seconds of commentary. This commentary length is substantially more than Asmongold, XQC, or any of the many other streamers and Youtubers that watched the Content Nuke in full.

As we know, Ethan decided not to sue Asmongold, XQC or anyone other than the three of us. "But, he wouldn't sue them, they didn't intentionally try to deprive him of revenue, and you said yourself that you did!" This notion is frivolous and is a fabrication. Ethan claims he is pursuing his claim against me only because of some claimed malicious intent on my part. There are two statements that Ethan falsely claims demonstrate my intent, along with his conspiracy theory about collusion with Reddit moderators, none of whom I have ever communicated with. 

The first statement is my response to a chat message - I read it out, "We’re relying on you to stay live so we don’t have to give the Nuke views." and then replied "Yeah, I'm going to stream it. Since he's confirmed it's coming out today, I'm gonna stream it". I hope this is self evident, but it would be bizarre for me to take that opportunity to bring attention to this group of people and how they actually should watch his video on his channel - it isn't my place, I don't care, and making a big deal out of it would only encourage the zealotry that Ethan is upset about. I merely acknowledged that I was going to react to it, and moved on. Drawing a broader narrative based on a chat message I did not write is delusional. 

The second statement is a throwaway shill comment I said after the video before signing off "Well guys, if you enjoyed not giving any views to that terrible video, follow, subscribe, throw a prime if you like my content". As an aside, this statement is factual - almost certainly, if someone watched my coverage, they had no interest in watching Ethan's video without the addition of critical commentary, and never would have. Regardless, this statement does not characterize my intent. At most, you can say that this is a meanspirited comment in poor taste, making a joke like this is too far, and that Ethan Klein deserves more respect. We can agree to disagree. 

I humbly request that we take this opportunity to question Ethan's framing of events, and call a spade a spade. Ethan is bullying people who said things about him he did not like, and he can do that only because he has more money than them. In doing so, at least in his lawsuit against me, he is setting a disastrous precedent for our corner of the internet —and my hope is that others in our community with resources like Ethan’s do not follow in his small footsteps. 

Please donate to my legal fund - every penny donated has gone exclusively to court costs and fees, and will go nowhere else. As stated earlier, my trial date is 10/26/26 and I look forward to beating Ethan in court, ideally with your assistance. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
