WARNING, CORNY COMMENT AHEAD: i've been here since the pre-transition days and i can't believe the evolution of sophie into this sort of real-life barbie. hilarious and thoughtful entertainer, hardcore activist, beautiful and joyful and so aspirational and sexy and punk. I Just Want To Be Her so bad. ok gonna shut up now and watch
more cornyness incoming but she is fully just Transition Goals at this point. Early on in my questioning days it was a huge relief to be able to see other trans people just like, being happy and looking amazing, and thinking to myself "That could be ME. I can make this happen for ME!"
My painfully liberal dad showed me the foomscrolling headline (because he thought it was ridiculous, which brought me some comfort at least), and lo and behold it made it into liberal slop stream! Thank you for roasting it so I didn't have to read it alone ETA later in the vid: the assumption that 'adolescent' = 'under 18' when a doctor is saying it is wild... I wasn't sure on the age range, but I thought to myself, 'hmmm, perhaps the medical definition of this word is different from colloquial usage' and looked it up, and some definitions of adolescence range up to 19 years old. So this doctor is probably talking about 18- and 19-year-olds who are trying to get surgery because they are finally allowed to, and the challenges that presents if they're still on puberty blockers (which, again, might be the only thing they've been allowed to be on until they turned 18)... sometimes words mean things, Jimmy
I like to have these on at work so I can get radicalized on company time and I just want to thank Sophie for all her hard work ❤ Especially the new video, I watched it early and loved it, and it got me to start reading The Mushroom at the End of the World! I'm really liking it so far, gonna check out more of your reading list soon. And not to get too parasocial on main but I'm genuinely sorry the Jimmy Dore slopfest had to end on the downer of him being a transphobic piece of shit, I hope you did something kind for yourself and had a good long comfortable rest after this ❤❤❤
1:09:00 I think these are comparable statements in Ross's mind because the problem of "climate change" and the "problem" of "too many fat people exist" take up equal space in his confused and frightened kindergarten brain 🙃
Respect+ for not condoning chatters to mock Jr for his vocal cords. There's plenty to mock the man for (that *incredible* photo of his office, for one), but disability sure as hell isn't one of them. Sophie often helps restore my faith in humanity.
The foomscrolling thing rly hits home the point of "people don't want science, they want science fiction" And under the liberal brainworm, reality itself becomes fictional
I think Ross's point with the ozempic pill is that the weight loss drug is a huge scientific breakthrough (I am not saying that, he is), but because it doesn't have to do with climate change it doesn't get as much social media coverage

See i would like to laugh at the UK's school-based class system but i live in a town in NZ where "what high school did you go to" is the first thing people will ask and will indicate one's position in the local class hierarchy
I feel like the first article is probably supposed to be more disdainful than pearl-clutching - "these fucking plebs keep saying mean things about our boy Starmer, but THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HE GOT HIS KNIGHTHOOD!!! How can we trust their opinions on anything??? Honestly, why do we even let them vote?"
53:19 Can you really have 'late pandemic malaise' in the midst of a pandemic that shows no sign of ending and that both the US and UK government are committed to prolonging indefinitely?
I don't know what to do with the fact that Jimmy Dore is a professional comedian and yet he doesn't know that you use "Let me be clear" to ground yourself in an Obama impression (also do the hand gesture if you need). Like that's how you do impressions, you take a particular affect and exaggerate it, then you use it as a touchstone to come back to if you start to drift too far. I know this and I'm a fucking engineer, not an entertainer.
I was almost on RFK's side with all that stuff about environmentalism and then children's health too? So based. Oh, what was that? He's anti-vax? Fuck...
My least favorite type of harmful ism: coomerism. Second is fascism, then liberalism, then doomerism, then weeabooism. These are all equally bad and equally the downfall of the human race. No I will not be taking comments at this time.
14:20 sophie time
I added a sponsorblock highlight there as well.
People who put this information in the comments are the foundation of society
thx
"YOU SEE HE'S NOT A CLASS ENEMY JUST A CLASS TRAITOR" as though it's better

Trust me we all feel the same way doll ✌
omg same :D its so beautiful to me watching people get visibly more joyful and alive when they transition ily trans people

I saw the headline from the Atlantic about foomscrolling and knew I didn't have to read it because Sophie would dissect it like a rotten corpse

And here I was hoping there was going to be a resurgence in the popularity of f-list comic book villain Fin Fang Foom.
Fing Fan Foom peaked in Nextwave. Hell the medium of comics peaked in Nextwave. Pack up the entire industry we're done.

@@protect_trans_lives oh damn I wasn't even thinking that other people might be looking for a warning! I'm glad it helped you though ❤
49:45 a very flowery way to say "i have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about but i think i should write an article about this anyways"
The hype for the world is not ending is too much
1:09:00 I think these are comparable statements in Ross's mind because the problem of "climate change" and the "problem" of "too many fat people exist" take up equal space in his confused and frightened kindergarten brain 🙃
a few minutes later (finished the foom article) and this might be the hardest we've seen someone Tun without any Wissen at all

Your video essay was great. Hope it takes off.

No writer in history has ever been so angry that they weren't the one to invent a new word as our Foomer here
he's foomscrolling as hard as he can
the writing style in that foomerism article is absolutely insufferable lmao
So, basically 'foom' is a portmanteau of 'boom' and 'fake'
See i would like to laugh at the UK's school-based class system but i live in a town in NZ where "what high school did you go to" is the first thing people will ask and will indicate one's position in the local class hierarchy
Yeah I never personally cared, but people would really oh and ah over the fact that I went to a Catholic College.
ross: materials scientists LOVE this one neat trick!!!

I love that I misheard Keir Starmer as "Kid Starver"
ross is even more exhausting than the usual white boy his parents must be so proud
I can't believe how much I'm seething over how they just can't say Yung's name right. Like holy shit I thought they supposedly liked the man.
Chill and cool vibes are always appreciated
You can smoke lavender, herbs, sage, and even tea from tea bags!
I thought the word "foomerism" in the title was some kind of joke you must've made on stream 😭

I hope no one *actually* expected a room temprature semi conductor
I certainly fucking didn't
I was hoping I was wrong though... Flying cars were only a step away@@sophiefrommarsstreams5920
*breaks from the Materials!Scientist Huddle* hey who told this guy about the sputnik thing
The Jimmy Dore faces were great! ...
...
*Ehh!*
1:07:50 that's because Ross has neoliberal blinders on and all he can dare to question or change about our economy is the consumption side
I was almost on RFK's side with all that stuff about environmentalism and then children's health too? So based. Oh, what was that? He's anti-vax? Fuck...
this stream had the sloppiest liberals yet!
Jimmy Dore promoting Secretariat Secret Sauce
❤
reading science papers hard =(
why does foomer just sound like another insult along the lines of coomer?
My least favorite type of harmful ism: coomerism. Second is fascism, then liberalism, then doomerism, then weeabooism. These are all equally bad and equally the downfall of the human race. No I will not be taking comments at this time.
Finally someone willing to take a bold and courageous anti-weeb stance
