I apologize in advance for anyone thats a little bit too high for the space story 😅 Though I will say I really enjoyed the last 10 minutes of the show today. Little peak behind the curtain, inside baseball, talking about 3rd places etc etc okay Im gonna go play some FF7 Rebirth since its gonna take me two months to finish at this rate.
That poor 19 year old. To lose your life despite being nowhere near the accident site... It's just devastating. I hope their loved ones will get some sort of justice.
Hearing some guy got hit by a random canister it's like "wow that's unlucky" then to learn he died is like, holy shit that's next level sad and unfortunate. It also means if someone is responsible for the fire, or lack of precautions to stop fires, they might be looking at MUCH more severe charges now.
I hate touch screens in cars. Not only because of the safety, but because you have to swipe and press 4 buttons just to change the station or skip a song. It was so much easier having to only press one physical button.
Not only that but most cars you can’t plug in a song if the car is already driving. Like I get that it’s to help prevent crashes, but if you’re in shotgun it’s really annoying. I miss when you could just plug in a cord or even just put in CDs. Then there’s even those stupid cars that to open the glove compartment you need to use the touchscreen when a handle would be a million times easier.
I don't drive and was shocked to learn that basic functions of the car were operated through a touch screen. That's insane. Why do companies (and govts) consistently believe that technology is infallible?
For the Selena Gomes music video: It’s not uncommon for huge/mainstream creators to copy the work of smaller creators. But it’s normally not the singer that does it. It’s the director of the music vid or producer or someone like that. The artist is normally none the wiser and just going with the idea.
I feel like that should be obvious to most, but I guess the claims don't make as good press fodder if you don't level them at Selena, combined with most people being idiots, so they never think that far.
Also, honestly, I see there might have been some inspiration taken - but to me, someone not really a fan of anyone - it really doesn't look like Selena's work looks like the other woman's work to me, but maybe I'm missing something. IMO you can't monopolize inspiration either way. So long it's not theft, you're not being stolen from...
@@supremesloth105 ultimately seemed like she was mad they hired a white person. Probably a person who cares more about diversity, but not white, instead of the most qualified
I've found that using touchscreens requires me to focus more on what I'm pressing. Physical buttons let me feel for where I'm trying to press and it's easier to memorize exactly where I need to press, whereas touchsceens require me to confirm with my eyes that I'm hitting the right thing.
100 percent. I was just trying to scan on my radio on a long trip the other day. I had to stop because I could not tell what I was hitting and had to really pay attention to the radio not the road. In my old car it was the big button on the end, no need to even glance.
The only reason it works well on smartphone keyboards is because it's a fixed width and we can use proprioception to tell where the buttons are supposed to be. With car touchscreens, we're kinda just tapping at a random point in space, without proprioception, so the only way to tap consistently correctly is by having ridiculously large buttons or looking directly at it
100%. When I used to cashier at my job the physical keyboard buttons would make a noise every time I pressed one and it was just a keypad so I didn't have to look at it to know what I was pressing. After getting promoted I still cashier a little bit here and there but now that everything is touchscreen nothing makes a single sound and I have no idea what I'm touching if I am not looking at it. The "if it ain't broke don't fix it" saying has never been more appropriate.
100% for getting rid of "junk" fees. The fact that I book a hotel room online $210 a night, then i show up and all of a sudden i have to pay a deposit, and 3 seperate fees for cleaning, the pool and whatever other bs. I wouldnt have come if my nights were going to be above $300
Oh gods I needed to stay at a hotel for work, and we alwaysused card that was pre entered, so I didn't have access to it. We tried a new hotel (I blame the shitty new manager who didn't listen to me on places we DO and DONT go (motel8.bedbugs)) and I had to take out MY OWN MONEY to pay a deposit, and would only take CASH!!. If I didn't have 80$ in my account, we would have had to try to scramble to find a hotel after 14 hours of driving and fieldwork. I had a NEWBIE with me who shouldnt have had to wait over an hour to know if we had a room or not. Fortunately the concierge took pity on us and let us go to our rooms while I texted my shit boss and gave him the paperwork he needed to fill out, but was unwilling to do at that moment and would send it in the next day because he never did his job DARYLL
After hearing about that 19 year old I just went silent, I’m 19 myself and the idea of my life suddenly being taken just, hurts, I hope his family and all the families struggling are ok as best as they can be
I live about a mile away from this explosion. It was wild , we were winding down for the night when we started hearing the popping . At first thought it was gunshots then fireworks . But it kept going we could see the sky was red and it was shaking the apartment building . Some of the residents said they thought we were being invaded . As comical as that is this event was out of the ordinary for this area .
so many people were outside trying to figure out what was going on. insane that they didn't activate the local text alerts, those would have spread quick
For the Selena Gomez story a lot of those seem like massive stretches. Anyone shooting in those same locations is going to come up with similar shots and framings just based on how the room is arranged, there’s only so many ways to frame a person sitting on couch against a wall with a single picture. I think at most someone saw Sarah’s work and that’s what inspired them to choose that location, and then subconsciously that may have influenced some of the design choices. But that’s just how art works, everyone is inspired by and draws ideas from everyone else. The bar for calling something plagiarism needs to be much higher than “dancing in a room with a fireplace”.
Her using the "woman of color, palestine" line was just so cringe. ohh laud, she might as well just comeout and say her intentions are not pure cause wtf was that, using palestine to clout chase over bullshit like this is fucking ridiculous.
I was going to include this in my comment. What you have to remember is that locations only offer so many shot options. Lighting, production, room shape, etc. play a lot into what rooms are used in a location shoot. When you scout a location you may be forced into certain angles to exclude elements that you do not want in your frame. Or maybe simply two creatives walked into a room with limiting composition options and framed their shots similarly. It happens all the time
@afrosymphony8207 Phil showed a screenshot of a comment with over 6k likes of someone accusing Selena of correlating all this to keep hurting Palestinians. These mfs are full on crazy.😂
I live about 8 miles from where the warehouse exploded. My girlfriend asked me if I heard something rumbling. As soon as we went outside we could hear how loud it was and in the distance could see the sky light up with each explosion. Can’t imagine how scary it must’ve been to those who live right around the corner.
the whole point of having tactile buttons and knobs in a car is that you can control it without having to look away from the road. A touchscreen is a homogenous, sensitive surface so you can't tell what you're doing without looking and if a bump or a quick tap causes you to misinput you have to spend even more time to back out and get to what you actually needed. The only benefit I can think of is for GPS, music, and a backup camera, most of which can be handled by just connecting your phone before you start driving.
So agree. I usually pick a less loaded car cos I'm not going to use most of the crap they load on and I don't want to deal with it breaking. I'm sure some touch screens are good but because these cars aren't as robust as my phone and they don't have good updates I don't want to mess with a touch screen. The car I have now had a system available but it was in 3g. I got the basic model instead without the touch screen and was gratified when they wanted us to pay money to get an upgrade so the thing would work in 4g. Bt now even that is dead so no I don't want technology in my car from companies that won't back up their tech with free, easy and good updates that don't brick the system or worse.
@@puggirl415 Definitely on the updates. The future where you can't drive a certain car because the software is no longer updated and it bricked itself is coming. Cars from 2000-2005 were the pinnacle because the tech got good and refined but not too refined.
Part of it is they want to be able to charge for features buyers assume are part of the car you buy. I think it was Mercedes who was charging a monthly fee for AC seats? Something like that
I agree 100% with the assessment of touch vs tactile controls in cars. In my car it's fan and temp controls that's the problem, since they are controlled from the screen and you have to press many times when going from hot to cold. Compared to just twisting a knob it requires more time and focus. It also means that I can't adjust temperatures while in reverse, because the reverse camera hijacks the whole screen. That sounds like a minor inconvenience but it actually comes up quite often.
On the thing with Selena Gomez, I think it's getting to the point where so much has been done in the vein of entertainment that it is inevitable that something or someone's gonna get copied or lines are gonna get crossed
@@cecil4616that's not true tho Is it it's the same location same font same framing of shots. If it was only one thing but this is common in the industry
It’s so refreshing to hear Philly D. and others like him get so excited about scientific discoveries with the same level of enthusiasm as when a kid finds out it’s possible to go to the moon
Who said we can get to the moon ? All the scientists and competently educated people that work in this field ? NASA shills. Big image fakery at it again.
As someone who’s worked in the car industry for several years with a background in electronics and computers, it honestly scares me how much things are moving to touch screens and full electronic controls. Putting aside just the safety concerns of distracted driving, there are so many more reasons to not use these kinds of systems. Having key safety features locked away because your radio screen malfunctioned or being unable to safely shift into park due to the touch screen not functioning is a terrifying thought. Not to mention that some of these cars straight up have network capabilities now and could be vulnerable to attacks down the line. I can see it now cars being held in ransom for bit coin or the hacker will take away your ability to shift into gear. And don’t even get me started on the repair costs if something breaks.
My vehicle is a hybrid Santa Fe, which we specifically chose over the Highlander because the Santa Fe had fewer touch screen integrations. Touchscreens will always be slower than just pressing a button, dial, or switch.
I have a 4runner, which I purchased recently, and was looking at Highlanders. I'm not sure what vehicle you were looking at but the Toyota vehicles only use touch screen for media and navigation. Which you would not be able to do tactile buttons for. Even the volume and radio channel is still controlled by dials. Everything else is controlled by buttons and dials. In fact, many people turn away from Toytoa products because they retain their "analog" styling, and people want something more modern. The Santa Fe on the other hand, can be stolen so very easily. I'd send you a link about the massive recalls, but RUclips frown on links in comments.
@@williameldridge9382 I've heard about Hyundai's being stolen a lot recently, but i also have the MyHyundai app, so even if stolen I will know exactly where it is (also stashed another GPS tag in the car just in case)
In regards to the Selena story, when you read the headline my reaction was “omg this will be juicy” but when you played Sarah’s video of the comparisons, my reaction instead was “that’s it?” Creatives pull inspiration from everywhere. I dont think the comparisons are that close enough that she has a leg to stand on. Just my take
I thought the same thing. There is no question that either Selena, the Director, or someone involved with the video is a fan of the original work, but you're right, creatives draw on inspiration all the time. I have worked in photography and video for years and the industry puts together inspiration boards and clips for projects they're working on more often than not. The other point I realised as I was typing this, is that the location is a place you can hire and the furniture is all already there. So when Sarah Bahbah said "there's Selena dancing around the exact same furniture"; well that furniture is there already. If you had've sourced it and dressed the set yourself thats one thing, but its like filming in front of a location on Hollywood boulevard, and then accusing artistic theft because someone else shot in the same location with the same building in the background. If its an accessible location, that you haven't dressed yourself, then its open to anyone...
To be fair, it wouldn't be hard for a director to look at her video and then do "we can do a video like this" and just copying shots but changing things so it isn't just 1:1. I think she's quick to play the victim, but I still wouldn't be shocked if they did actually do it.
It's absolutely not art theft. It is not similar enough for this to be a claim or case for her. It's crazy to me that people don't understand "If you've thought of something, there is 99% chance someone else has too" 100% reaching. It's possible either Selena or the director saw the artists work in the past, but even if that's the case it's not 1:1, there are very clear differences. It's like saying if I took a photo in a mirror, I then own all mirror photos and should be credited. The only way this would work is if I MADE the mirror, and they copied every aspect of the original work. They didn't do that. At all.
Phil PLEASE bring back putting your story sources in the description. I love the addition of the citing on the video next to photos while talking about them but please make it easier to read the original source. Especially because a lot of the time they use other sources making it harder to find the original information.
I agree with you as well. Sometimes it’s the background as well but I also like the comfort and ease of just clicking on a link to read more about it etc
The problem with seeing work that looks like yours is that unless it’s blatant or you can prove the copier is familiar with your work, you could just be drawing inspiration from the same source As someone who works in the entertainment industry you see it all the time. Audiences are always quick to compare the two works assuming one copied the other even when both creators have sighted the same source as inspiration There’s also accidental recreation where you start creating something thinking it’s original only to realise part way through you’re just recreating something similar you saw before. This is actually common enough that musicians even joke about accidentally writing songs that already exist
tbh as the story went on, this was kind of the reaction i was having. A person dressed to match art in a center-framed shot? A couple dressed to match the furniture? While kissing in a music video? Eating at a table while dressed in White? The same angles while shooting in the same location (with the same equipment/lighting/physical limitations)? Bless, these are not groundbreaking stylistic choices. like.... i don't want to poo poo anyone who's feeling slighted but also. like... uh. 🙄 I have. reservations.
The industry even has a term for it, "parallel thinking," because everyone is inspired by something, conscious or not, and eventually people all kind of arrive at similar ideas if things tend to look good or make certain impressions on people. Like with music for example, there are only so many chords and progressions and notes, and there are sounds that naturally flow and sound good together and songwriters can arrive at the same ones without ever hearing about each other. Not saying this is the case here, it's entirely possible the art direction of Selena's video was copied, I'm not the one with that information. But to think they absolutely couldn't both come up with the concepts...it's hard to argue without setting precedent that anything remotely similar can't happen. 100% originality will never exist again, but even 90% can't if we start calling everything similar a copy of whoever got to it first.
Anyone who is pro touchscreens in cars... they boggle my mind. On those touchscreen cars, when the touchscreen breaks, or even just the electronics break or mess up, you lose everything. On an older car when the little knob breaks for the air-conditioning, the hazard lights or the windscreen wiper stick etc only 1 thing breaks, you don't lose every other function along with it. 1 button for each thing the machine does means if one part breaks ONLY that part breaks, they literally do this on almost all workplace machinery in warehousing, manufacturing, farm tractors, for that exact reason, 1 part breaks not ALL of it.
Well, most vehicles, and most brands, only put media and navigation on the touch screen and everything else is via buttons and knobs. All Toyota's work that way. I have a new 4runner and only media and navigation is controlled by it.
As a neuroscience grad, watching Phil pivot into discussing a peer reviewed paper on the cosmic web, is great! They nailed science explanation, would love way more science new from you Phil! I was just the right level of high for this segment 👌
I'd rather he starts bringing some double blind randomised clinical trials for some of the supplement companies he takes sponsorships from. After that, maybe it'd be right to start looking at more science topics. I love the guy, but those probiotic buzzword slathered sales pitches with "scientifically proven" in the middle grind my gears.
As a mechanic, I do a lot of test driving for my job. One time, I was driving a newer diesel on the freeway to make sure the rapair was complete and it was ready to go home. Suddently, as I was cruzing at 75mph the touch screen decided that was the perfect time to alert me to the fact that there was no phone paired to the vehicle, it did this by beeping and flashing red. I'm not a fan of all the tech in newer vehicles.
As a car guy I will never like basic car controls being in the infotainment or as a touchscreen. Cause once that screen fails or your software bugs out then im stuck without ac, or unable to see my oil temp.
I personally HATE TOUCHSCREENS that are required for operation, even on phones I miss simple on/off buttons! I miss big knobby clicky buttons that can be operated with a heavy pair of winter gloves on. I miss tactile controls that I can feel my way around without needing to stare at menus to access them.
About the Selena story: When i was in school my teacher used to say "Be carefull to scream copying unless you can put the art next to each other and they're identical" and this? Being a European that's the look people make when they try to get something to "look French or south European" especially the bathrobe breakfast thing, i've seen that so many times i can't count. Like in my opinion that's not copying? It's shot in the same place sure but that's about it? It look like stereotype French movie on both ends and where did the inspo for that come from? I don't doubt she has been copied before but this was not a good example on that.
The comparison is as if an art teacher took students to a location and the assignment was do a piece - on stairs, on copying the art above you, with a window in the background. It’s not copying.
I love the longer shows, and I especially love to hear that y'all are hiring more to meet the demand rather than overworking your existing staff. Spread the love, value humans over profits, and keep everybody happy! They're worth it, we're worth it, and you're worth it! Love yo face!
3:52 I'm confused, she says she is singled out for being a poc (and independent creator) but last time I checked Selena Gomez is also a poc? In that same sentence she shifts the blame towards white directors but then goes on to imply that Selena may have "told" her director to do it in that style. This person's accusations are grasping at best.
Because it’s not enough to be a victim of copying…you also need to let the world know you’re a bigger victim because the color of your skin. God forbid someone likes your work enough to take from you, it must do with your genetic makeup.
In regards to Selena Gomez, I honestly very much doubt she has even heard or scene the music videos she is alleged to be ripping off, while I also doubt she actually came up with the creative vision of her music video. A director, and a team, probably came up with the ideas and pitched them to Selena and she then approved and added her own stuff.
Yeah if anyone 'stole' those ideas it is a choreographer/art director etc for the videos. Most the talent don't do much but ok the video ideas that are tossed at them.
@WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou I'm pretty sure almost all of them were in the exact same location, because Selena Gomez rented the same location for filming. Which is not copying. And it's pretty natural that similar scenes would be filmed inside a mansion 🤷♂️ it just doesn't seem that deep to me
Really? They call that "ripping off"? It's a bunch of super generic shots you can find in like 100000 movies. And those shots don't even look like one another that much... So who did she rip off? Because I've seen shots like those over 9000 times. This is 100% a play for attention.
Falsely accusing people of stealing her "creations" seems to be Sarah Bahbah's mo. I used to be a fan of her but stopped years ago when she tried to pull a similar thing saying people were stealing her art for using captions/subtitles in their pictures as if she had created the concept like come on. Selena’s ‘Love On’ music video references the 1960s Italian film 'Contempt' starring French actress Brigitte Bardot, the inspiration is VERY clear, some shots, hairstyle, looks, the intro of the song is in French and the "silenzio" and “LA FINE” at the end… all clear references to the film and Brigitte. Also about the location, SO many artists have filmed there before Selena (Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Cardi B, Lady Gaga...) And the 'Back To You' music video is inspired by the 1965 French New Wave film Pierrot le Fou.
@@HurricaneDDragonThat doesn't really invalidate her argument that as a palestinian woman people seem to go "Her, but white". Honestly kinda iffy on the shots myself, but it doesn't invalidate her point that often times her aesthetic is mimicked but a white director is hired to "do her but without the controversy", If this is something she has noticed she has every right to speak out against it.
I am currently the loneliest I have ever been, the last segment meant a lot and resonated with me. Trying to find ways to get out and meet people, even though people terrify me, too many bad experiences. I look forward to meeting good people eventually, fingers crossed!
It takes a lot of hard work to meet people! Personally I've found going to hobbies and sports as well as work/uni socials to work well in the past. Being consistent is so important! Though I'm still trying new options, I wish interest groups which meet in person and groups to meet up and do things with strangers were more popular.
Same. My only family and friend is my roomate/beastfriend/cat and its really hard to not think I've passed up a great companion because I immediately think they are destined to screw me over/leave me hanging for someone they see as better. It shouldn't be like this when there is literally 8 billion of us and no real tangible thing like "souldmates or the the one" i don't even have a fkn libido anymore its been 12 years since I even kissed anyone and I'm getting older and even more ugly but refuse to mess with snap and tic tok or twitter so idk wtf to do . But you or anyone else not hurting anyone should be feeling like this. So I hope you will soon find the yin to your yang and this period will be a silly memory and you grow old and have laugh lines galore
Watching the snow in the screen behind you made me so happy over the last few days. today it is snowing where i live and your screen matches my window… makes me even happier 😅 sorry for that random comment, but it just makes me happy
I absolutely loved the segment of you nerding out about space stuff. I always love hearing about interesting science news but its so rare to see from a lot of news sources. Hope to see more segments like this in the future.
I don’t get news media. They think I care about another country’s monarchy’s baby’s clothing, but not SPACE. Everyone gives at least a lil’ shit about SPACE. It’s SPACE! It’s at LEAST on the level of “local dogs pooping too much on sidewalks” lol
For the selena gomez story id be really curious to hear where sarah got the inspiration for her shots/themes in her work and if it's possible the director of Selena's drew from a lot of the same things. Especially stuff like shots it's possible the room they were in was constrained or furniture in the room was styled to a certain art piece etc. Copying does happen often, but it is incredibly easy to copy on accident subconsciously even if you have no intention to. Cryptomnesia. Happens a lot in written works
I will say, many of the shot comparisons Sarah shared I wouldn't have made a connection between, even those in the same rooms. And if Selina/ her director drew from the same place of inspiration as Sarah, then that could also explain it. Honestly, a lot of the shot comparisons shared looked like scenes I've seen before in numerous films, tv shows, music videos, etc
@H.P.93 I agree, it felt like a lot of that was a small reach, I didn't see many similarities in a lot of them minue the same room or set up that's been done 500 times already
Honestly they're not even similar enough to warrant these accusations IMO. It's really arbitrary "two people doing this in the same room" level of composition similarity
Wondering the same but honestly look at the shots. A woman in a robe, eating. Two people kissing while wearing a print that matches the background. Dancing in a room. These arent things people stole from her, they're very common shots in film and media and honestly embarrassed for the women trying to claim those are such unique ideas that they got stolen.
This feels like that other recent plagiarism allegation (vintage inspired Valentine's thing, can't remember who the people were) where both were obviously inspired by the same vintage style, but were quite different (IMO) in execution.
Sarah's aesthetic has been done multiple times (look at the 50's). For someone to claim an aesthetic is far fetch. However, Sarah does have a point on how many established artists steal ideas and not give any credit. Look what JLo did with Ashanti. It took 20 years for JLo to give Ashanti credit. Not only should the music industry do better but for all.
The work is not unique when compared to other art projects inspired in the region. There's only one reason she's getting press about is because of her ethnicity.
@@harry31619 Ashanti went without credit for her contributions to Jennifer Lopez’s music career for years. I believe she received credit during the pandemic.
Yeah she isn’t unique and I feel like she is really reaching here. I can guarantee that if people searched enough they would find loads of shit done in the past that resemble Sarah’s work. It’s all been done before. These examples aren’t close enough for me. And I’m not a Selena fan at all.
FINALLY A STORY I CAN COMMENT ON! Regarding the Taylor Swift story. As a Singaporean it irks me that the govt did that. I saw somewhere that 70% of those who are attending are from the neighbouring countries. When she announced her tour dates and venue and I saw SG is the only stop in SEA, i knew I had to compete with many more people for the tickets and guessed what, I missed out. What the SG govt did was selfish. Coldplay came to SG with 6 shows too and they had stops at our neighbouring countries and they still sold out and I met many fans who were from neighbouring countries that missed out shows in their country so they decided to fly in SG. That still created the tourism revenue that the SG govt craved so much. What a wasteful way of using the reserves that we have for a Taylor Swift concert cos you know her concert will still generate big bucks wherever she goes.
What i dont understand is why is people mad at the singaporean government and not Taylor? She is the one who accepted the money. If she cared for her fans in asia then she would have turned it down.
@@KevinUchihaOGTaylor was definitely apart of it. Andifeel racism was included in her decision to just choosing that country to tour and not others. Seems she doesn’t care about any of her fans in that part of the world because everyone missed out
She also cancelled an announced show in Australia to do the SG shows. She was supposed to perform in Brisbane and ended up cancelling and re announcing the same date in SG instead
@@KevinUchihaOG Singapore is the devil whispering and tempting her to only do shows in Singapore Im not a Taylor Swift fan of any kind or level, but Singapore did something really scummy
Always happy to see you do a segment astro news. It's especially great to see you put in a short introduction to the subject to give some context and even give credit to the astronomers involved in getting there. Very much appreciated :D
Try to do things that give you confidence. Gym, gaming with other people or learning some hobby. You become profficient in what you do and it's a great confidence booster. Then, when it comes time to talk to a potential partner you will have a personal interest to discuss, and you will have gained a bit of confidence interacting with people in general. Start with yourself until you feel comfortable branching out.
The space segment on dark matter was soooo dooopppee!! Thanks Phil, you had a blast covering it, we hope we see more coverage on other awesome space stuff.
I really don't think Selena intentionally copied Sarah. Like eating while wearing a robe is not a new thing or making out on the staircase, you can see other pieces of media doing that. I feel she's reaching
And the whole "it happens to women of color" remark. Like, is Selena not a woman of color? What's with the weird race angle? She's trying to play every victim card in the deck.
I live about 2 miles from the explosion in Michigan. It was insane. I could hear it happening but I thought maybe a storm was coming. But I didn't stop for like an hour and I checked the weather and there were no storms nearby. I checked FB community pages and found out what was happening . I looked out the window and could see the sky lighting up orange, went outside for a few minutes and the air quality was terrible, my eyes and throat burned when I came back in. Thankfully they got things under control. There are multiple gas stations nearby and a plastics factory but they managed to contain the explosion to only the original site.
So I actually design these types of pressure vessels for a living. I can confirm that they are treated like shit and stored improperly. That being said, we do perform fire resistance testing on cylinders and as long as they are fitted with an appropriate valve/prd combo they will never rupture. These obviously were not.
I work in a Granite shop and we have to keep our propane tanks away from all doors and in a cage. We only have like 8 of them you would expect them to have some form of contingencies for this if not for peoples safety at least because you cant sell blown up canisters
The explosions in Michigan happened in my hometown. Lots of friends had to evacuate to the houses of family and friends. Debris was flying literal MILES from the initial explosion and thankfully all of the workers made it out of the building literally minutes before it exploded. It was nonstop explosions until around 1am.
I remember studying astronomy in college as my science credit, and being absolutely enthralled by dark matter. I noted it as "probably magic" every time it was brought up in lectures, since so little was known about it. This was just over 10 years ago now, so seeing such incredible advancements made in that span of time is very exciting!!!
Regarding the Selena Gomez Story. The artist is claiming to be even more of a victim for being a POC even though Selena herself is a POC. Also at 3:58 her bringing up the fact while being a POC, she's also Palestinian felt unnecessary and seems like the only reason she said it was to easily gain public support cinsidering the all the drama Selena had about not properly supporting Palenstine.
yeah as a minority myself I felt like she was just trying to victimize herself for clout or something. her having to specify from palestine as if that changed anything really feels like she just wants to use this to get support for her "independent artist" endeavors.
I think the Taylor Swift only touring in Singapore thing is less "is this selfish of Singapore to screw over neighbouring countries?" and more "Is Taylor Swift selfish for accepting that deal despite how well she knows her fanbase and how disappointing and enraging it would be for her fans?" Singapore didn't force or threaten Taylor (at least I hope not lmao) to only perform there; they offered her a business deal and she took it. I see little difference between Singapore "buying" Taylor and other countries "buying" sporting events, as you mentioned. To me, however, it is blatantly clear who people should be annoyed at, and that is Taylor. I'm not a Swiftie or mega fan, but I fully understand and feel the upset from her fans. She chose a big bag of money over her fans, and although I don't fault her for it (I, too, would like to choose a big bag of money), it was still HER choice, NOT Singapore.
In this case of Kong Kong not getting ANY dates despite having adequate facilities should be chalked up mostly to administrative incompetence in the tourism department. The guys in Singapore put in the work to attract Swift. Hong Kong didn’t.
The funny thing is that she probably could have made more money if she just toured some other Asian countires, but can't really blame her for taking the easier route, most people if they were actually in her position would do the same thing.
“Somehow caught fire” is code for someone started a fire in the most flammable building in Detroit. I’m from there, moved down south a few years ago but yeah… nitrous and butane are obviously serious fire hazards and it’s puzzling as to why especially at night, although they probably have a night shift, those canisters aren’t in some kind of containment that would prevent a spreading fire from blowing them all up. Probably could be, but regulations are written by the businesses we regulate. No shock here.
they were stored illegally, they didn't have a permit to store those materials, they had an inspection about a year ago and none of those materials were there. So regulations didn't allow them to store those kinds of chemicals there
@AaronHarver-dj4yq yea you read the Google search on nitrous oxide it depends on how it's introduced. If it's just expelled from an exploding Cylinder it won't. It has to use similar ratio to support combustion. Ie too much won't help it will suppress or too little won't make a difference.
The workout analogy is very helpful. It legitimately feels like a drag to meet new ppl, but it‘s something you gotta push through. Showing up is what counts.
The Selena thing is a great example of how derivative film is as an art form. That’s not an inherently bad thing, but it is when artist try to claim ownership over a style/aesthetic/movement. The language of film is an imitation of the composition and artistic values of visual art. That’s just how the camera communicates. My opinion on the video in question is that it doesn’t steal at all from the other filmmakers work. From the fonts used, to the framing, location and colour palette, these are not new ideas. Just an assembly of many old ideas which happened to speak to the artists involved. Nobodies stealing. That’s what art is.
Eh I agree and disagree. I do think it’s hard to lay claim to shots or aesthetics, but she lined up multiple pretty uncanny parallels all within one video. For a shot to be pretty much the same in the same exact location multiple times throughout one music video is pretty suspect. I don’t necessarily think Selena herself knew she was copying as I kinda doubt she had much creative direction over the project, but I do think there was likely someone on the team who had seen the other artists’ music video in that location and used it heavily for inspiration. It’s just too many coincidences where, in an isolated context they would be just coincidences but this is a little too specific
RE: Sarah/Selena I'm not denying the WoC often have their work ripped off without credit (Literally happens all the time!), and I cannot even say for certain the director never saw her work. But I think a lot of the examples she used were not strong enough to support her case. The aesthetic she has was common in films in the 50's, in France. The women mimicking art behind them was even done in Disney's Frozen. People in matching outfits, people making out... It's all been done by multiple visual artists. This woman's work, you could have told me it was a Lana Del Rey music video, and I would have believed you. The still images with the yellow text look like those 80's aesthetic anime screenshots with the subs on. Women with oversized sunglasses and towels on their head, that could be from any Instagram influencers trip to the Mediterranean.
Feels weird that we talk about 3rd places like we used to have them because I never did. The drop in second places (work office, school) has had an impact, but I never had that free hang out spot that I used to see on tv a lot.
Every time people compare their work to that of a famous person, I'm reminded of how YMS absolutely eviscerated the people who did that with Kimba and The Lion King. It's easy to throw a bunch of screengrabs up and draw comparisons.
The Selena Gomez/Sarah Bahbah story raises an interesting dilemma in the space of art: The original thought is no longer truly possible. At this point, talent and merit in art is earned by taking an idea and best representing it in a tangible form-not having the original thought. While yes the two music videos are very similar, shots are still presented "uniquely" enough through framing and lighting to be transformative. I say "uniquely" because I'm speaking literally on how the art is presented and not with the context of things like the teams behind both music videos being the same or not. I personally feel like this is a case where both music videos likely had similar inspirations, but because Bahbah's music video(s) already existed she got the claim of the original thought.
I just feel like is a bit of a reach. A lot of the visual themes in Selena and Sarah’s videos are not specific enough for someone to make a claim for originality. For instance, the robe scene where she is looking out of a balcony eating breakfast. That scene has been recreated SO MANY TIMES before , that’s why I don’t truly buy Sarah. I also do vaguely remember her previous allegations against Selena back in 2018 with the whole promotional video and tbh it was the same thing. Her ideas are not specific enough in each situation to lay claim that Selena specifically copied her. In 2018, Selena claimed that she was inspired by silent films and the Italian countryside (which you can clearly tell from the back to you music video), this time around, Selena claims that she was inspired by the luxurious life she enjoyed in France while working there… again it tracks with her music video which is about romance and love.
I live in Sterling Heights, MI about 11 miles from the explosion site and I could hear thr explosions inside my house. It sounded like fireworks going off. The explosion also disabled the 911 dispatch for Sterling Heights and a few other cities surrounding it.
Yes! Less touchscreen controls in cars... my newest vehicle has one and while I love most things about it, I absolutely hate the touchscreen. Haptic buttons tend to have reduced responsiveness, and I don't know who they made the touchscreen for but mine always thinks I'm trying to swipe instead of press because of how bumpy roads are where I live. The notion that it takes your eyes off the road is also true, at least in my experience. There's obviously some things that work well with it, like navigation, but I'd honestly prefer as little of that as possible.
Half the things she complained about is the location. It’s a music video she’s going to dance through half the room. It’s a beautiful room your going to want to highlight that beautiful art on the wall. I will give her the couch similarity though.
I want to preface this with I'm also I minority, but I feel like she's just making herself and other minorities as the "victim" in this case when it's probably just coincidence. All of the similarities she pointed out just feel like eventually two people will have the same idea even if they aren't copying each other. Like literally two people invented calculus at the same time, independently. It's probably worst case scenario just being too "directly" inspired by whatever gave her the idea, not outright copying for the sake of being lazy
@@HearMeLearn if it had been a set I would have agreed but it’s a mansion, it’s pre-staged. It’s absolutely possible for 2 people to walk into the space and both set up a shot similar based on what’s already there. It’s also a little silly to think that she wouldn’t dance in any room for a music video. I had my wedding at a manor and some our photos where similar to other weddings there because you couldn’t help but take those shots with those features. Like of course all the couples are going to have similar shots by the stunning water fountain. Are they all plagiarism
@@HearMeLearn It's blatantly obvious this isn't merely two people inspired to make similar music videos at the same location - one person saw the music video of another and decided "I like that, I'll do it myself". There isn't necessarily a problem with that, you can love the location of someone elses video and wish to do something similar and that's fine - what isn't fine is being 'inspired' by specific shots and scenes in someone elses video and recreating them for your own with minor if any changes to the thing that 'inspired' you. At some point it just becomes copying.
Don't forget to update your TV, Phil. Edit: As someone who has only ever primarily driven a car with physical controls, I find the the "futurization" of newer cars to be detrimental to the overall driving experience. As we have seen, when technology takes the place of something, there is almost always a consequence of some kind. In the auto world, tactile feedback has *always* been important, because driving a car isn't just a visual task, it's physical, auditory, etc. When our attention diverts, even for a second, we lose some of that focus and getting back into it can be difficult. Touchscreens and the like have their place, and can definitely be utilized where necessary, but analog buttons and switches are almost always going to be more reliable and more comfortable to use.
My current is my first car to have been built after 2010 (it's a 2014 CRV) and just the screen for the Bluetooth is kinda distracting sometimes... I couldn't imagine trying to navigate a touchscreen while driving....
> When our attention diverts, even for a second, we lose some of that focus and getting back into it can be difficult. Not that it's stopped the millions of people who still haven't learned this who drive and tap on their phone every day.
I'm sorry but the Selena thing is REACHING... and that's coming from someone who isn't the biggest fan of her. Like doing things in a similar fashion isn't stealing... or copying... like it would be different if it were shot for shot, same outfits same movement same clothes same editing. but it's not. Im SO tired of artist crying wolf on something that is similar ... there isn't anything original anymore so things are BOUND to be similar. But also making something your own isn't stealing or copying. It would be like Michelangelo and Leonardo saying they are stealing from one another just because they both have painted things in a similar style of realism/used the same color palette. Again, coming from an artist ,who doesn't like Selena, doing something similar doesn't equal copying/stealing.
Exactly. Sarah doesn't own that aesthetic. She has not pioneered this aesthetic. There are others that have done similar works in that aesthetic WAAAAAAY before her and there will be others who do similar works after.
Kinda weird someone is trying to claim really common things as her artwork. We could say her art is ripping off those French movies, or every woman who sits on a balcony and takes an aesthetic photo. Or they’re always copying her. Like the shots are such a reach when you compare them, the color composition, angles, and staging are completely different
@@StreakyBaconMan omg youre right! I ripped it off of Sarah bah bah. She commented this exact thing three years ago!!! And she invented people creating RUclips accounts!!!
Being an introverted human that works from home, getting outside can sometimes prove to be a difficult task. Although I have absolutely no dancing experience and two left feet, I recently started dancing with a local swing dance club and have taken ballroom dancing classes (swing, tango, waltz, cha cha) with a local studio. It has been life changing for me. Suddenly, I have all of these new friends and we don’t even need to know each other’s names to have fun. We can just boogie. You get to meet people from so many walks of life while making mistakes and laughing together. And suddenly I have so many places to go as someone always knows of a dance happening somewhere. It’s a lovely community that I didn’t know even existed in my area. The dance community is very much a “come as you are” group. I highly recommend exploring clubs in your area if you can! Who knows how many little treasures are hiding in your own backyard.
This isn’t entirely Selena’s fault. Usually these treatments are put together by a creative team, including the producers, directors, production company, agency etc. If anything, Selena isn’t seeing the comparisons, and signs off.
I understand that indie artists deserve to have their work be recognised and well received, but honest to god, the tiktok about Sarah comparing Selena's MV to a bunch of other works had the same exact energy as kpop stans doing the same thing with different kpop artists and the content they produce. As a kpop stan, I cannot stress _how_ often this has happened and for many, many, _many_ years too. It's not a new argument or drag. Just continual comparisons and screaming that this new group copied an older group's concept or album art, or MV or whatever. And most of the time, the comparisons are not only reaches but just pure coincidences. No one owns a concept, a location or anything of that sort. I don't understand why Sarah's making a big deal out of Selena's team choosing to work in the same exact location that she did some years or months prior. And why bring up the fact that she's Palestinian? What does her ethnicity have to do with anything? I don't condone Selena stans hating on her, bc that's completely unnecessary and it literally does nothing to solve the situation. Each and every single example Sarah gave was ridiculous and just so happened to be a little similar to something that was done before. I've seen this tired argument so many times in the kpop community that it is the exact same thing here. Nothing different. And if you're in the kpop community, you _know_ how kpop stans can get with one group copying another group. If you're not in the community, I'll tell you right now: it's bad. But it's also annoying and it's a tired and used up argument for almost every single group out there. Kpop stans who've been around and seen it all tend to ignore it, but that doesn't mean it's not there. I also don't think Sarah should apologise for this, it's unnecessary to, but it would be better if she didn't attempt to grasp at straws about something like this in the future, especially if the similarities are not one to one the same exact thing.
As a Filipino, I fully support Taylor Swift not coming to the Philippines because our country might not be that safe for someone of her stature. It reminds me of that the time when the Beatles went on tour here, with the dictator at the time forcing them to perform at their palace. The Beatles refused, faced threats, and were subsequently banned from the Philippines. It's concerning that history might repeat itself with the current president being the son of that same dictator.
I've had my car since 2013 and it doesn't have a touch screen. Even though it's starting to have mechanical issues, I'm reluctant to look at anything new partly because everything has touch screens now. The biggest problem is the lack of a tactile feel of the buttons. You can learn the location and feel of buttons over time, but with touch screens you're just blindly poking some part of a flat surface unless you look to know what you're doing. The comparison to touch screens and texting with phones is spot on; it's a safety issue.
I live only like 5 miles away from the industrial explosion in Clinton Twp, MI it sounded like a war zone it was going on for over an hour. I have some friends that live even closer and had debris in their yard or their fences taken out by debris. Some of my friends that live closer even evacuated for the night with their pets. The biggest concern was what it was and what was billowing in the air, seemed like forever before they cities made Facebook posts about what was going on and the news didn't cover anything right away either, it just all happened so fast and there was so much confusion. There were so many people outside on their streets the Clinton twp police department needed to call on the surrounding departments to help push by standers back and keep crowd control. A fire truck had a huge dent and broken windshield from debris, and a firefighter got injured as well but is making a recovery. It ended up being a building stocked eith a bunch of CO2 canisters and thats what was blowing up and falling all around. So the shrapnel was all chunks of metal from those canisters.
Ok 1) I love the longer shows! Thank you for all that you + your team do! 2) I really appreciated the space coverage!! That’s SO cool!! (Granted I was not high for the segment) more science news is always welcome over here :) 3) love the final points you made about finding the energy to do things while doing it 👏
About the dark matter story: As a graduate student in astrophysics and long time watcher of the show, I was ecstatic to see this segment. The visuals chosen were perfect and well placed. The commentary was spot on! The only comment I’d add is I’m pretty sure we have indirect observations of dark matter already (re: gravitational lensing, galactic halos, etc.) but this is the most precise and accurate observation we’ve ever made. Thank you so much for including this segment! I can’t wait to show this to my friends/family that still don’t quite understand dark matter lol!
Yeah, im about 9 miles away from Detroit in sterling heights and felt the explosions. I genuinely thought it was a thunderstorm until i looked outside and didn't see any storms.
About the car safety story: I recently purchased a Subaru Outback Wilderness and the whole middle console is a touch screen…which at first was a huge selling point because honestly it just looks cool. However we’ve learned having the A/C and heated seat controls on the screen is unbelievably frustrating not to mention unsafe. There’s no easy way to change the temperature without clicking in to a separate screen. Manual controls will be my top priority next time I look for a vehicle.
😊 Phil, I just wanted to say I am loving the new format. God bless you and hope you have the team fortitude to keep it up! If it becomes too much of a grind for the team shorter episodes are always welcome to me too❤
I would LOVE for more vehicles to go back to using analog devices like switches and knobs. It feels more satisfying and like you are actually doing something to change something. On top of that, if one knob goes out, it doesn't mean the rest of them are broken like a screen does. I drive a 99 GMC jimmy, a 2013 Chevy 1500, 07 Pontiac grand prix, and a 2021 Toyota sienna, and while I love the sienna for all of its features, the others are so much nicer to drive at night or long distances simply because there is less going on, and you don't have a screen shining at you. My moms previous sienna, a 2020, was worse with 3 stalks, one just for cruise control, though a older screen. the cruise control in all of my other vehicles is confined into a small switch and a button on the end of the turn signal, except for the Silverado where its 4 buttons on the steering wheel. Cars today feel overly complicated just to be complicated. Touch screens just make it worse, as now we have screens the size of small TVs within cars, containing almost every function of the car. I like the screen in the 2021 sienna because its big enough to use, and works well for the reverse camera and all of its features, but the majority of the cars functions such as AC and cruise control are still analog, and it doesn't take up the entire dash. I don't understand why manufactures felt the need to include massive screens with every feature, beyond just trying to follow what tesla does, and seeing as teslas quality is terrible, I don't know why anyone would want to do that in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I like having a screen for apple car play, radio selection, etc, and the HUD in the sienna is pretty cool, but they aren't a necessity to the cars function, and if either broke, I could still drive it long distance with creature comforts such as AC. Plus I just miss the faint green hue of the jimmy's dash when I'm in other cars.
I drive for Amazon and every one of our vehicles has a touch screen. They are older vehicles though so things like headlights, turn signals and windshield wipers are all physical buttons. the screen is mostly for back up cams and playing music.
Touch Screen cars always felt like something that youd need a co-driver for. You cant feel what your pressing on a touch screen so you have to read it which means eyes off the road
I apologize in advance for anyone thats a little bit too high for the space story 😅 Though I will say I really enjoyed the last 10 minutes of the show today. Little peak behind the curtain, inside baseball, talking about 3rd places etc etc okay Im gonna go play some FF7 Rebirth since its gonna take me two months to finish at this rate.

I hate touch screens in cars. Not only because of the safety, but because you have to swipe and press 4 buttons just to change the station or skip a song. It was so much easier having to only press one physical button.
Not only that but most cars you can’t plug in a song if the car is already driving. Like I get that it’s to help prevent crashes, but if you’re in shotgun it’s really annoying.
I miss when you could just plug in a cord or even just put in CDs. Then there’s even those stupid cars that to open the glove compartment you need to use the touchscreen when a handle would be a million times easier.
I fully agree.
Chevy Mylink will be the death of me
Agreed!
I don't drive and was shocked to learn that basic functions of the car were operated through a touch screen. That's insane. Why do companies (and govts) consistently believe that technology is infallible?
For the Selena Gomes music video: It’s not uncommon for huge/mainstream creators to copy the work of smaller creators. But it’s normally not the singer that does it. It’s the director of the music vid or producer or someone like that. The artist is normally none the wiser and just going with the idea.
I feel like that should be obvious to most, but I guess the claims don't make as good press fodder if you don't level them at Selena, combined with most people being idiots, so they never think that far.
Also, honestly, I see there might have been some inspiration taken - but to me, someone not really a fan of anyone - it really doesn't look like Selena's work looks like the other woman's work to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
IMO you can't monopolize inspiration either way. So long it's not theft, you're not being stolen from...

I've found that using touchscreens requires me to focus more on what I'm pressing. Physical buttons let me feel for where I'm trying to press and it's easier to memorize exactly where I need to press, whereas touchsceens require me to confirm with my eyes that I'm hitting the right thing.
100 percent. I was just trying to scan on my radio on a long trip the other day. I had to stop because I could not tell what I was hitting and had to really pay attention to the radio not the road. In my old car it was the big button on the end, no need to even glance.
The only reason it works well on smartphone keyboards is because it's a fixed width and we can use proprioception to tell where the buttons are supposed to be. With car touchscreens, we're kinda just tapping at a random point in space, without proprioception, so the only way to tap consistently correctly is by having ridiculously large buttons or looking directly at it
The fact we let car companies put a tablet as a control in vehicles is wild.
Out of context, this comment seems like the most random opinion in the universe.
100%. When I used to cashier at my job the physical keyboard buttons would make a noise every time I pressed one and it was just a keypad so I didn't have to look at it to know what I was pressing. After getting promoted I still cashier a little bit here and there but now that everything is touchscreen nothing makes a single sound and I have no idea what I'm touching if I am not looking at it. The "if it ain't broke don't fix it" saying has never been more appropriate.
100% for getting rid of "junk" fees.
The fact that I book a hotel room online $210 a night, then i show up and all of a sudden i have to pay a deposit, and 3 seperate fees for cleaning, the pool and whatever other bs.

Oh gods I needed to stay at a hotel for work, and we alwaysused card that was pre entered, so I didn't have access to it.

If I didn't have 80$ in my account, we would have had to try to scramble to find a hotel after 14 hours of driving and fieldwork. I had a NEWBIE with me who shouldnt have had to wait over an hour to know if we had a room or not. Fortunately the concierge took pity on us and let us go to our rooms while I texted my shit boss and gave him the paperwork he needed to fill out, but was unwilling to do at that moment and would send it in the next day because he never did his job DARYLL

For the Selena Gomez story a lot of those seem like massive stretches. Anyone shooting in those same locations is going to come up with similar shots and framings just based on how the room is arranged, there’s only so many ways to frame a person sitting on couch against a wall with a single picture. I think at most someone saw Sarah’s work and that’s what inspired them to choose that location, and then subconsciously that may have influenced some of the design choices. But that’s just how art works, everyone is inspired by and draws ideas from everyone else. The bar for calling something plagiarism needs to be much higher than “dancing in a room with a fireplace”.
Problem is the framing isn't even the same. It's all a complete stretch.
Her using the "woman of color, palestine" line was just so cringe. ohh laud, she might as well just comeout and say her intentions are not pure cause wtf was that, using palestine to clout chase over bullshit like this is fucking ridiculous.
I was going to include this in my comment. What you have to remember is that locations only offer so many shot options. Lighting, production, room shape, etc. play a lot into what rooms are used in a location shoot. When you scout a location you may be forced into certain angles to exclude elements that you do not want in your frame. Or maybe simply two creatives walked into a room with limiting composition options and framed their shots similarly. It happens all the time

the whole point of having tactile buttons and knobs in a car is that you can control it without having to look away from the road. A touchscreen is a homogenous, sensitive surface so you can't tell what you're doing without looking and if a bump or a quick tap causes you to misinput you have to spend even more time to back out and get to what you actually needed. The only benefit I can think of is for GPS, music, and a backup camera, most of which can be handled by just connecting your phone before you start driving.
So agree. I usually pick a less loaded car cos I'm not going to use most of the crap they load on and I don't want to deal with it breaking. I'm sure some touch screens are good but because these cars aren't as robust as my phone and they don't have good updates I don't want to mess with a touch screen. The car I have now had a system available but it was in 3g. I got the basic model instead without the touch screen and was gratified when they wanted us to pay money to get an upgrade so the thing would work in 4g. Bt now even that is dead so no I don't want technology in my car from companies that won't back up their tech with free, easy and good updates that don't brick the system or worse.
@@puggirl415 Definitely on the updates. The future where you can't drive a certain car because the software is no longer updated and it bricked itself is coming. Cars from 2000-2005 were the pinnacle because the tech got good and refined but not too refined.
certain features should be disabled while driving. or voice control be made mandatory
Haptics and physical textures between "buttons" should enter the chat.
Part of it is they want to be able to charge for features buyers assume are part of the car you buy. I think it was Mercedes who was charging a monthly fee for AC seats? Something like that
I agree 100% with the assessment of touch vs tactile controls in cars. In my car it's fan and temp controls that's the problem, since they are controlled from the screen and you have to press many times when going from hot to cold. Compared to just twisting a knob it requires more time and focus. It also means that I can't adjust temperatures while in reverse, because the reverse camera hijacks the whole screen. That sounds like a minor inconvenience but it actually comes up quite often.
On the thing with Selena Gomez, I think it's getting to the point where so much has been done in the vein of entertainment that it is inevitable that something or someone's gonna get copied or lines are gonna get crossed
Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure there is a TV Tropes page covering what Sarah is accusing Selena of ripping off.
Using examples like a framed picture on a wall and wearing a bathrobe is reaching.
I was looking at the shots and thought there wasn't anything I hadn't seen so many times before
Especially when you're uneducated in films and "inventing" shots that have been standard for the last 50 years.

As someone who’s worked in the car industry for several years with a background in electronics and computers, it honestly scares me how much things are moving to touch screens and full electronic controls. Putting aside just the safety concerns of distracted driving, there are so many more reasons to not use these kinds of systems. Having key safety features locked away because your radio screen malfunctioned or being unable to safely shift into park due to the touch screen not functioning is a terrifying thought. Not to mention that some of these cars straight up have network capabilities now and could be vulnerable to attacks down the line. I can see it now cars being held in ransom for bit coin or the hacker will take away your ability to shift into gear. And don’t even get me started on the repair costs if something breaks.
My vehicle is a hybrid Santa Fe, which we specifically chose over the Highlander because the Santa Fe had fewer touch screen integrations. Touchscreens will always be slower than just pressing a button, dial, or switch.
I have a 4runner, which I purchased recently, and was looking at Highlanders. I'm not sure what vehicle you were looking at but the Toyota vehicles only use touch screen for media and navigation. Which you would not be able to do tactile buttons for. Even the volume and radio channel is still controlled by dials. Everything else is controlled by buttons and dials. In fact, many people turn away from Toytoa products because they retain their "analog" styling, and people want something more modern.
The Santa Fe on the other hand, can be stolen so very easily. I'd send you a link about the massive recalls, but RUclips frown on links in comments.
@@williameldridge9382 I've heard about Hyundai's being stolen a lot recently, but i also have the MyHyundai app, so even if stolen I will know exactly where it is (also stashed another GPS tag in the car just in case)
In regards to the Selena story, when you read the headline my reaction was “omg this will be juicy” but when you played Sarah’s video of the comparisons, my reaction instead was “that’s it?” Creatives pull inspiration from everywhere. I dont think the comparisons are that close enough that she has a leg to stand on. Just my take
The comparison might as well have been "She was singing in the video, so she stole from me!"
I thought the same thing. There is no question that either Selena, the Director, or someone involved with the video is a fan of the original work, but you're right, creatives draw on inspiration all the time. I have worked in photography and video for years and the industry puts together inspiration boards and clips for projects they're working on more often than not.
The other point I realised as I was typing this, is that the location is a place you can hire and the furniture is all already there. So when Sarah Bahbah said "there's Selena dancing around the exact same furniture"; well that furniture is there already. If you had've sourced it and dressed the set yourself thats one thing, but its like filming in front of a location on Hollywood boulevard, and then accusing artistic theft because someone else shot in the same location with the same building in the background.
If its an accessible location, that you haven't dressed yourself, then its open to anyone...
To be fair, it wouldn't be hard for a director to look at her video and then do "we can do a video like this" and just copying shots but changing things so it isn't just 1:1. I think she's quick to play the victim, but I still wouldn't be shocked if they did actually do it.
It's absolutely not art theft. It is not similar enough for this to be a claim or case for her. It's crazy to me that people don't understand "If you've thought of something, there is 99% chance someone else has too" 100% reaching.
It's possible either Selena or the director saw the artists work in the past, but even if that's the case it's not 1:1, there are very clear differences. It's like saying if I took a photo in a mirror, I then own all mirror photos and should be credited. The only way this would work is if I MADE the mirror, and they copied every aspect of the original work. They didn't do that. At all.
I agree, seems kind of petty and reaching.
Phil PLEASE bring back putting your story sources in the description. I love the addition of the citing on the video next to photos while talking about them but please make it easier to read the original source. Especially because a lot of the time they use other sources making it harder to find the original information.
seconded. wild that's not standard practice anymore. it's ALWAYS worthwhile to help in citing sources. (mostly just replying to boost this comment)
I agree with you as well. Sometimes it’s the background as well but I also like the comfort and ease of just clicking on a link to read more about it etc
Omg. Yes! It brings me joy knowing that I wasn't the only one who wanted to go down a research rabbit whole.
Wholeheartedly agree.
Hell yes please!
The problem with seeing work that looks like yours is that unless it’s blatant or you can prove the copier is familiar with your work, you could just be drawing inspiration from the same source
As someone who works in the entertainment industry you see it all the time. Audiences are always quick to compare the two works assuming one copied the other even when both creators have sighted the same source as inspiration
There’s also accidental recreation where you start creating something thinking it’s original only to realise part way through you’re just recreating something similar you saw before. This is actually common enough that musicians even joke about accidentally writing songs that already exist
tbh as the story went on, this was kind of the reaction i was having.
A person dressed to match art in a center-framed shot?
A couple dressed to match the furniture? While kissing in a music video?
Eating at a table while dressed in White?
The same angles while shooting in the same location (with the same equipment/lighting/physical limitations)?
Bless, these are not groundbreaking stylistic choices.
like.... i don't want to poo poo anyone who's feeling slighted but also. like... uh. 🙄 I have. reservations.
That's some Final Destination style of death.
I also think as art designers for music artists begin to use AI prompts for inspiration, we will start seeing a lot more of this.
The industry even has a term for it, "parallel thinking," because everyone is inspired by something, conscious or not, and eventually people all kind of arrive at similar ideas if things tend to look good or make certain impressions on people. Like with music for example, there are only so many chords and progressions and notes, and there are sounds that naturally flow and sound good together and songwriters can arrive at the same ones without ever hearing about each other.
Not saying this is the case here, it's entirely possible the art direction of Selena's video was copied, I'm not the one with that information. But to think they absolutely couldn't both come up with the concepts...it's hard to argue without setting precedent that anything remotely similar can't happen. 100% originality will never exist again, but even 90% can't if we start calling everything similar a copy of whoever got to it first.
There’s nothing in those scenes that’s particularly original... That chick is reaching so hard she’s gonna break her arm. So stupid.
Anyone who is pro touchscreens in cars... they boggle my mind.
On those touchscreen cars, when the touchscreen breaks, or even just the electronics break or mess up, you lose everything. On an older car when the little knob breaks for the air-conditioning, the hazard lights or the windscreen wiper stick etc only 1 thing breaks, you don't lose every other function along with it. 1 button for each thing the machine does means if one part breaks ONLY that part breaks, they literally do this on almost all workplace machinery in warehousing, manufacturing, farm tractors, for that exact reason, 1 part breaks not ALL of it.
Had the same 4runner since 2013 and the touchscreen is great, but I cringe about the thought of it breaking.
Well, most vehicles, and most brands, only put media and navigation on the touch screen and everything else is via buttons and knobs. All Toyota's work that way. I have a new 4runner and only media and navigation is controlled by it.
As a neuroscience grad, watching Phil pivot into discussing a peer reviewed paper on the cosmic web, is great! They nailed science explanation, would love way more science new from you Phil! I was just the right level of high for this segment 👌
snob
same i had a bong before that segment started and thoroughly enjoyed it need more!!!
Yes, more of this. Also, @Jirangaaa: based
Highly recommend PBS Spacetime, they covered this story recently. PhillyD had great coverage.
I'd rather he starts bringing some double blind randomised clinical trials for some of the supplement companies he takes sponsorships from. After that, maybe it'd be right to start looking at more science topics. I love the guy, but those probiotic buzzword slathered sales pitches with "scientifically proven" in the middle grind my gears.
As a mechanic, I do a lot of test driving for my job. One time, I was driving a newer diesel on the freeway to make sure the rapair was complete and it was ready to go home. Suddently, as I was cruzing at 75mph the touch screen decided that was the perfect time to alert me to the fact that there was no phone paired to the vehicle, it did this by beeping and flashing red. I'm not a fan of all the tech in newer vehicles.
As a car guy I will never like basic car controls being in the infotainment or as a touchscreen. Cause once that screen fails or your software bugs out then im stuck without ac, or unable to see my oil temp.
I personally HATE TOUCHSCREENS that are required for operation, even on phones I miss simple on/off buttons! I miss big knobby clicky buttons that can be operated with a heavy pair of winter gloves on. I miss tactile controls that I can feel my way around without needing to stare at menus to access them.
As an FYI, you can buy heavy winter gloves that work on touchscreens.
About the Selena story: When i was in school my teacher used to say "Be carefull to scream copying unless you can put the art next to each other and they're identical" and this? Being a European that's the look people make when they try to get something to "look French or south European" especially the bathrobe breakfast thing, i've seen that so many times i can't count. Like in my opinion that's not copying? It's shot in the same place sure but that's about it? It look like stereotype French movie on both ends and where did the inspo for that come from? I don't doubt she has been copied before but this was not a good example on that.
It's probably just lazy producers drawing from the works of others, rather than Selena herself.
Even the “original” stuff is pretty standard. Dancing in a living room? Matching outfits to the decorations. Like, come on.
The comparison is as if an art teacher took students to a location and the assignment was do a piece - on stairs, on copying the art above you, with a window in the background. It’s not copying.
Hmm it doesn't look french to me as a french person.
We both copied French films so she's stealing my work!😂😂😂
I love the longer shows, and I especially love to hear that y'all are hiring more to meet the demand rather than overworking your existing staff. Spread the love, value humans over profits, and keep everybody happy! They're worth it, we're worth it, and you're worth it! Love yo face!
Good men aren’t always good bosses, but here’s Phil trying to be both. Def a positive role model for my middle-aged ass.
3:52 I'm confused, she says she is singled out for being a poc (and independent creator) but last time I checked Selena Gomez is also a poc? In that same sentence she shifts the blame towards white directors but then goes on to imply that Selena may have "told" her director to do it in that style. This person's accusations are grasping at best.
That's what I found weird too!
Let's be honest, if you don't follow a certain type of poc, people will dimiss you.
People are already mad at Selena for not supporting Palestine this isn’t helping her case
Because it’s not enough to be a victim of copying…you also need to let the world know you’re a bigger victim because the color of your skin. God forbid someone likes your work enough to take from you, it must do with your genetic makeup.
Let’s be real. Selena Gomez is not a person of colour. Sincerely, another white latino
I like the longer 30 min shows. I also like when Phil rapid fires some smaller news. Not everything needs to be talked out.
In regards to Selena Gomez, I honestly very much doubt she has even heard or scene the music videos she is alleged to be ripping off, while I also doubt she actually came up with the creative vision of her music video. A director, and a team, probably came up with the ideas and pitched them to Selena and she then approved and added her own stuff.
Eating, dancing and people making out in a music video aren’t unique, and I doubt she has huge creative control over her videos
Yeah if anyone 'stole' those ideas it is a choreographer/art director etc for the videos. Most the talent don't do much but ok the video ideas that are tossed at them.
@@danielleoliver1734 that many different scenes, some even in the exact same location are not coincidence.
Come on. You are too smart for this.
@WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou I'm pretty sure almost all of them were in the exact same location, because Selena Gomez rented the same location for filming. Which is not copying. And it's pretty natural that similar scenes would be filmed inside a mansion 🤷♂️ it just doesn't seem that deep to me
@@dannyu5879 one thing is a coincidence. ok yes. but all the things... are not.
Really? They call that "ripping off"? It's a bunch of super generic shots you can find in like 100000 movies. And those shots don't even look like one another that much... So who did she rip off? Because I've seen shots like those over 9000 times.
This is 100% a play for attention.
Falsely accusing people of stealing her "creations" seems to be Sarah Bahbah's mo.
I used to be a fan of her but stopped years ago when she tried to pull a similar thing saying people were stealing her art for using captions/subtitles in their pictures as if she had created the concept like come on.
Selena’s ‘Love On’ music video references the 1960s Italian film 'Contempt' starring French actress Brigitte Bardot, the inspiration is VERY clear, some shots, hairstyle, looks, the intro of the song is in French and the "silenzio" and “LA FINE” at the end… all clear references to the film and Brigitte.
Also about the location, SO many artists have filmed there before Selena (Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Cardi B, Lady Gaga...)
And the 'Back To You' music video is inspired by the 1965 French New Wave film Pierrot le Fou.
"Someone sat in the same room as me (that has the same furniture of course) and managed to wear this super genetic white towel!"
Totally. Also, I’m sure her and Selena aren’t the ONLY ones who have shot music videos in that location.
@@HurricaneDDragonThat doesn't really invalidate her argument that as a palestinian woman people seem to go "Her, but white".
Honestly kinda iffy on the shots myself, but it doesn't invalidate her point that often times her aesthetic is mimicked but a white director is hired to "do her but without the controversy", If this is something she has noticed she has every right to speak out against it.
I am currently the loneliest I have ever been, the last segment meant a lot and resonated with me. Trying to find ways to get out and meet people, even though people terrify me, too many bad experiences. I look forward to meeting good people eventually, fingers crossed!
It takes a lot of hard work to meet people! Personally I've found going to hobbies and sports as well as work/uni socials to work well in the past. Being consistent is so important! Though I'm still trying new options, I wish interest groups which meet in person and groups to meet up and do things with strangers were more popular.
Sending you so much love beautiful soul. You got this.
Same. My only family and friend is my roomate/beastfriend/cat and its really hard to not think I've passed up a great companion because I immediately think they are destined to screw me over/leave me hanging for someone they see as better. It shouldn't be like this when there is literally 8 billion of us and no real tangible thing like "souldmates or the the one" i don't even have a fkn libido anymore its been 12 years since I even kissed anyone and I'm getting older and even more ugly but refuse to mess with snap and tic tok or twitter so idk wtf to do . But you or anyone else not hurting anyone should be feeling like this. So I hope you will soon find the yin to your yang and this period will be a silly memory and you grow old and have laugh lines galore
I wish you well! If you need a friend, I’d love to be yours! Take care!
Watching the snow in the screen behind you made me so happy over the last few days. today it is snowing where i live and your screen matches my window… makes me even happier 😅 sorry for that random comment, but it just makes me happy
I absolutely loved the segment of you nerding out about space stuff. I always love hearing about interesting science news but its so rare to see from a lot of news sources. Hope to see more segments like this in the future.
I don’t get news media. They think I care about another country’s monarchy’s baby’s clothing, but not SPACE. Everyone gives at least a lil’ shit about SPACE. It’s SPACE! It’s at LEAST on the level of “local dogs pooping too much on sidewalks” lol
For the selena gomez story id be really curious to hear where sarah got the inspiration for her shots/themes in her work and if it's possible the director of Selena's drew from a lot of the same things. Especially stuff like shots it's possible the room they were in was constrained or furniture in the room was styled to a certain art piece etc. Copying does happen often, but it is incredibly easy to copy on accident subconsciously even if you have no intention to. Cryptomnesia. Happens a lot in written works
I will say, many of the shot comparisons Sarah shared I wouldn't have made a connection between, even those in the same rooms. And if Selina/ her director drew from the same place of inspiration as Sarah, then that could also explain it.
Honestly, a lot of the shot comparisons shared looked like scenes I've seen before in numerous films, tv shows, music videos, etc
@H.P.93 I agree, it felt like a lot of that was a small reach, I didn't see many similarities in a lot of them minue the same room or set up that's been done 500 times already
Honestly they're not even similar enough to warrant these accusations IMO.
It's really arbitrary "two people doing this in the same room" level of composition similarity
Wondering the same but honestly look at the shots. A woman in a robe, eating. Two people kissing while wearing a print that matches the background. Dancing in a room. These arent things people stole from her, they're very common shots in film and media and honestly embarrassed for the women trying to claim those are such unique ideas that they got stolen.
This feels like that other recent plagiarism allegation (vintage inspired Valentine's thing, can't remember who the people were) where both were obviously inspired by the same vintage style, but were quite different (IMO) in execution.
Phil’s “I am deathly afraid of black holes” to “I think dark matter is pretty cool and would like to share” arc has been pretty cool.
The Dark Matter piece was by far my favorite. I've always been fascinated by anything astronomy related. Thank you for sharing!
Sarah's aesthetic has been done multiple times (look at the 50's). For someone to claim an aesthetic is far fetch. However, Sarah does have a point on how many established artists steal ideas and not give any credit. Look what JLo did with Ashanti. It took 20 years for JLo to give Ashanti credit. Not only should the music industry do better but for all.
What j lo did to ashanti
The work is not unique when compared to other art projects inspired in the region. There's only one reason she's getting press about is because of her ethnicity.
Yes...I agree 100%. The photographer was reaching for some clout with all that.
@@harry31619 Ashanti went without credit for her contributions to Jennifer Lopez’s music career for years. I believe she received credit during the pandemic.
Yeah she isn’t unique and I feel like she is really reaching here. I can guarantee that if people searched enough they would find loads of shit done in the past that resemble Sarah’s work. It’s all been done before. These examples aren’t close enough for me. And I’m not a Selena fan at all.
FINALLY A STORY I CAN COMMENT ON!
Regarding the Taylor Swift story. As a Singaporean it irks me that the govt did that. I saw somewhere that 70% of those who are attending are from the neighbouring countries. When she announced her tour dates and venue and I saw SG is the only stop in SEA, i knew I had to compete with many more people for the tickets and guessed what, I missed out. What the SG govt did was selfish.
Coldplay came to SG with 6 shows too and they had stops at our neighbouring countries and they still sold out and I met many fans who were from neighbouring countries that missed out shows in their country so they decided to fly in SG. That still created the tourism revenue that the SG govt craved so much. What a wasteful way of using the reserves that we have for a Taylor Swift concert cos you know her concert will still generate big bucks wherever she goes.
What i dont understand is why is people mad at the singaporean government and not Taylor? She is the one who accepted the money. If she cared for her fans in asia then she would have turned it down.
Thanks for mentioning Coldplay! They deserve props for that. I’ve heard your story before from locals. Sorry this happened
@@KevinUchihaOGTaylor was definitely apart of it. Andifeel racism was included in her decision to just choosing that country to tour and not others. Seems she doesn’t care about any of her fans in that part of the world because everyone missed out
She also cancelled an announced show in Australia to do the SG shows. She was supposed to perform in Brisbane and ended up cancelling and re announcing the same date in SG instead
@@KevinUchihaOG Singapore is the devil whispering and tempting her to only do shows in Singapore
Im not a Taylor Swift fan of any kind or level, but Singapore did something really scummy
Always happy to see you do a segment astro news. It's especially great to see you put in a short introduction to the subject to give some context and even give credit to the astronomers involved in getting there. Very much appreciated :D
I’ve been really struggling with the loneliness epidemic personally, so the little pep talk from Philly D at the end was well needed, thank you
Try to do things that give you confidence. Gym, gaming with other people or learning some hobby. You become profficient in what you do and it's a great confidence booster. Then, when it comes time to talk to a potential partner you will have a personal interest to discuss, and you will have gained a bit of confidence interacting with people in general. Start with yourself until you feel comfortable branching out.
The space segment on dark matter was soooo dooopppee!! Thanks Phil, you had a blast covering it, we hope we see more coverage on other awesome space stuff.
I really don't think Selena intentionally copied Sarah. Like eating while wearing a robe is not a new thing or making out on the staircase, you can see other pieces of media doing that. I feel she's reaching
But they matched outfits to a couch! Sure, it's a completely different couch and completely different outfits.... What a fucking stretch.
I 100% agree. Really sorry, but none of the shots are particularly inspired. Not a single of the shots are unique or new
And the whole "it happens to women of color" remark. Like, is Selena not a woman of color? What's with the weird race angle? She's trying to play every victim card in the deck.
I feel like each of those shots could be found somewhere too. Paintings, travel brochures, other music videos. Nothing new under the sun and all that.
Couldn't agree more. Just a grab for attention
I live about 2 miles from the explosion in Michigan. It was insane. I could hear it happening but I thought maybe a storm was coming. But I didn't stop for like an hour and I checked the weather and there were no storms nearby. I checked FB community pages and found out what was happening . I looked out the window and could see the sky lighting up orange, went outside for a few minutes and the air quality was terrible, my eyes and throat burned when I came back in. Thankfully they got things under control. There are multiple gas stations nearby and a plastics factory but they managed to contain the explosion to only the original site.
I am not suprised, as someone whos worked with explosive gas, people are way to negligent, this shit is deadly, and they handle it like shit
notice me phill
Bump. I hope he notices.
So I actually design these types of pressure vessels for a living. I can confirm that they are treated like shit and stored improperly. That being said, we do perform fire resistance testing on cylinders and as long as they are fitted with an appropriate valve/prd combo they will never rupture. These obviously were not.
I work in a Granite shop and we have to keep our propane tanks away from all doors and in a cage. We only have like 8 of them you would expect them to have some form of contingencies for this if not for peoples safety at least because you cant sell blown up canisters
@@ryan_dalion8937 They can also rupture when somebody, tryin to be a funny guy, starts trying to break it
Absolutely LOVED the diversion from the common coverage to give science some love!! More of that please!
The explosions in Michigan happened in my hometown. Lots of friends had to evacuate to the houses of family and friends. Debris was flying literal MILES from the initial explosion and thankfully all of the workers made it out of the building literally minutes before it exploded. It was nonstop explosions until around 1am.
I'm glad your friends are safe
I remember studying astronomy in college as my science credit, and being absolutely enthralled by dark matter. I noted it as "probably magic" every time it was brought up in lectures, since so little was known about it. This was just over 10 years ago now, so seeing such incredible advancements made in that span of time is very exciting!!!
it truly blows my brain, and i kind of hope its magic, but magic we might be able to tap into
Any “magic” that actually exists isn’t magic, it’s just science we don’t understand
Regarding the Selena Gomez Story.
The artist is claiming to be even more of a victim for being a POC even though Selena herself is a POC. Also at 3:58 her bringing up the fact while being a POC, she's also Palestinian felt unnecessary and seems like the only reason she said it was to easily gain public support cinsidering the all the drama Selena had about not properly supporting Palenstine.
yeah as a minority myself I felt like she was just trying to victimize herself for clout or something. her having to specify from palestine as if that changed anything really feels like she just wants to use this to get support for her "independent artist" endeavors.
I was gonna say the same thing! Since when is Selena just some white artists.
I think the Taylor Swift only touring in Singapore thing is less "is this selfish of Singapore to screw over neighbouring countries?" and more "Is Taylor Swift selfish for accepting that deal despite how well she knows her fanbase and how disappointing and enraging it would be for her fans?" Singapore didn't force or threaten Taylor (at least I hope not lmao) to only perform there; they offered her a business deal and she took it. I see little difference between Singapore "buying" Taylor and other countries "buying" sporting events, as you mentioned.
To me, however, it is blatantly clear who people should be annoyed at, and that is Taylor. I'm not a Swiftie or mega fan, but I fully understand and feel the upset from her fans. She chose a big bag of money over her fans, and although I don't fault her for it (I, too, would like to choose a big bag of money), it was still HER choice, NOT Singapore.
She cares about money first and her fans second
In this case of Kong Kong not getting ANY dates despite having adequate facilities should be chalked up mostly to administrative incompetence in the tourism department. The guys in Singapore put in the work to attract Swift. Hong Kong didn’t.
The funny thing is that she probably could have made more money if she just toured some other Asian countires, but can't really blame her for taking the easier route, most people if they were actually in her position would do the same thing.
@@CoryPchajekalso i mean ppl just avoid china nowdays
Yeah. She’s screwing over her fans for more money. She chooses her gigs, not Singapore.
“Somehow caught fire” is code for someone started a fire in the most flammable building in Detroit. I’m from there, moved down south a few years ago but yeah… nitrous and butane are obviously serious fire hazards and it’s puzzling as to why especially at night, although they probably have a night shift, those canisters aren’t in some kind of containment that would prevent a spreading fire from blowing them all up. Probably could be, but regulations are written by the businesses we regulate. No shock here.
Nitrous oxide isn't flammable please look it up
It will still support combustion just like oxygen though
they were stored illegally, they didn't have a permit to store those materials, they had an inspection about a year ago and none of those materials were there. So regulations didn't allow them to store those kinds of chemicals there
This didn't even happen in Detroit, but 45 minutes from Detroit.... I live where it happened.
@AaronHarver-dj4yq yea you read the Google search on nitrous oxide it depends on how it's introduced. If it's just expelled from an exploding Cylinder it won't. It has to use similar ratio to support combustion. Ie too much won't help it will suppress or too little won't make a difference.
The workout analogy is very helpful. It legitimately feels like a drag to meet new ppl, but it‘s something you gotta push through. Showing up is what counts.
The Selena thing is a great example of how derivative film is as an art form. That’s not an inherently bad thing, but it is when artist try to claim ownership over a style/aesthetic/movement.
The language of film is an imitation of the composition and artistic values of visual art. That’s just how the camera communicates.
My opinion on the video in question is that it doesn’t steal at all from the other filmmakers work. From the fonts used, to the framing, location and colour palette, these are not new ideas. Just an assembly of many old ideas which happened to speak to the artists involved. Nobodies stealing. That’s what art is.
Eh I agree and disagree. I do think it’s hard to lay claim to shots or aesthetics, but she lined up multiple pretty uncanny parallels all within one video. For a shot to be pretty much the same in the same exact location multiple times throughout one music video is pretty suspect. I don’t necessarily think Selena herself knew she was copying as I kinda doubt she had much creative direction over the project, but I do think there was likely someone on the team who had seen the other artists’ music video in that location and used it heavily for inspiration. It’s just too many coincidences where, in an isolated context they would be just coincidences but this is a little too specific
RE: Sarah/Selena
I'm not denying the WoC often have their work ripped off without credit (Literally happens all the time!), and I cannot even say for certain the director never saw her work. But I think a lot of the examples she used were not strong enough to support her case. The aesthetic she has was common in films in the 50's, in France. The women mimicking art behind them was even done in Disney's Frozen. People in matching outfits, people making out... It's all been done by multiple visual artists. This woman's work, you could have told me it was a Lana Del Rey music video, and I would have believed you. The still images with the yellow text look like those 80's aesthetic anime screenshots with the subs on. Women with oversized sunglasses and towels on their head, that could be from any Instagram influencers trip to the Mediterranean.
Feels weird that we talk about 3rd places like we used to have them because I never did. The drop in second places (work office, school) has had an impact, but I never had that free hang out spot that I used to see on tv a lot.
I grew up without a 3rd space too
Thank you for the science/space segment Phil, I absolutely love astronomy. 🌠
I feel like those copy allegations are shaky at best. I lot of the comparisons are of somewhat generic ideas and scenes.
Every time people compare their work to that of a famous person, I'm reminded of how YMS absolutely eviscerated the people who did that with Kimba and The Lion King. It's easy to throw a bunch of screengrabs up and draw comparisons.
The Selena Gomez/Sarah Bahbah story raises an interesting dilemma in the space of art: The original thought is no longer truly possible. At this point, talent and merit in art is earned by taking an idea and best representing it in a tangible form-not having the original thought. While yes the two music videos are very similar, shots are still presented "uniquely" enough through framing and lighting to be transformative. I say "uniquely" because I'm speaking literally on how the art is presented and not with the context of things like the teams behind both music videos being the same or not. I personally feel like this is a case where both music videos likely had similar inspirations, but because Bahbah's music video(s) already existed she got the claim of the original thought.
I just feel like is a bit of a reach. A lot of the visual themes in Selena and Sarah’s videos are not specific enough for someone to make a claim for originality. For instance, the robe scene where she is looking out of a balcony eating breakfast. That scene has been recreated SO MANY TIMES before , that’s why I don’t truly buy Sarah.
I also do vaguely remember her previous allegations against Selena back in 2018 with the whole promotional video and tbh it was the same thing. Her ideas are not specific enough in each situation to lay claim that Selena specifically copied her. In 2018, Selena claimed that she was inspired by silent films and the Italian countryside (which you can clearly tell from the back to you music video), this time around, Selena claims that she was inspired by the luxurious life she enjoyed in France while working there… again it tracks with her music video which is about romance and love.
Especially to say it happens mostly to women of colour as if Selena isn’t a woman of colour
I live in Sterling Heights, MI about 11 miles from the explosion site and I could hear thr explosions inside my house. It sounded like fireworks going off. The explosion also disabled the 911 dispatch for Sterling Heights and a few other cities surrounding it.
Love you Phil! Best news source on the net!
Yes! Less touchscreen controls in cars... my newest vehicle has one and while I love most things about it, I absolutely hate the touchscreen. Haptic buttons tend to have reduced responsiveness, and I don't know who they made the touchscreen for but mine always thinks I'm trying to swipe instead of press because of how bumpy roads are where I live. The notion that it takes your eyes off the road is also true, at least in my experience. There's obviously some things that work well with it, like navigation, but I'd honestly prefer as little of that as possible.
Half the things she complained about is the location. It’s a music video she’s going to dance through half the room. It’s a beautiful room your going to want to highlight that beautiful art on the wall. I will give her the couch similarity though.
Same location, theme, angle, lighting...bro.
Its not a coincidence. Someone from Selena's team "was inspired" pronounced plagiarized" her work.
I want to preface this with I'm also I minority, but I feel like she's just making herself and other minorities as the "victim" in this case when it's probably just coincidence. All of the similarities she pointed out just feel like eventually two people will have the same idea even if they aren't copying each other. Like literally two people invented calculus at the same time, independently. It's probably worst case scenario just being too "directly" inspired by whatever gave her the idea, not outright copying for the sake of being lazy
@@HearMeLearn if it had been a set I would have agreed but it’s a mansion, it’s pre-staged. It’s absolutely possible for 2 people to walk into the space and both set up a shot similar based on what’s already there. It’s also a little silly to think that she wouldn’t dance in any room for a music video. I had my wedding at a manor and some our photos where similar to other weddings there because you couldn’t help but take those shots with those features. Like of course all the couples are going to have similar shots by the stunning water fountain. Are they all plagiarism
@@HearMeLearn It's blatantly obvious this isn't merely two people inspired to make similar music videos at the same location - one person saw the music video of another and decided "I like that, I'll do it myself". There isn't necessarily a problem with that, you can love the location of someone elses video and wish to do something similar and that's fine - what isn't fine is being 'inspired' by specific shots and scenes in someone elses video and recreating them for your own with minor if any changes to the thing that 'inspired' you. At some point it just becomes copying.
Loved the space story, Phil! One of my favorite topics to hear you go on about.
Don't forget to update your TV, Phil.
Edit: As someone who has only ever primarily driven a car with physical controls, I find the the "futurization" of newer cars to be detrimental to the overall driving experience. As we have seen, when technology takes the place of something, there is almost always a consequence of some kind. In the auto world, tactile feedback has *always* been important, because driving a car isn't just a visual task, it's physical, auditory, etc. When our attention diverts, even for a second, we lose some of that focus and getting back into it can be difficult. Touchscreens and the like have their place, and can definitely be utilized where necessary, but analog buttons and switches are almost always going to be more reliable and more comfortable to use.
its not a tv, its a window. Its a window showcasing the blizzard that hasnt stopped in 3 months...in southern California.
My current is my first car to have been built after 2010 (it's a 2014 CRV) and just the screen for the Bluetooth is kinda distracting sometimes... I couldn't imagine trying to navigate a touchscreen while driving....
> When our attention diverts, even for a second, we lose some of that focus and getting back into it can be difficult.
Not that it's stopped the millions of people who still haven't learned this who drive and tap on their phone every day.
Yeah, people said the same nonsense when they started putting radios in cars. Luddites always exist, regardless of the time.
@@SkunkApe407 Except the way current radios are in cars is actually removing a sensation. That gives you feedback in your direct world???????????
I'm sorry but the Selena thing is REACHING... and that's coming from someone who isn't the biggest fan of her. Like doing things in a similar fashion isn't stealing... or copying... like it would be different if it were shot for shot, same outfits same movement same clothes same editing. but it's not. Im SO tired of artist crying wolf on something that is similar ... there isn't anything original anymore so things are BOUND to be similar. But also making something your own isn't stealing or copying. It would be like Michelangelo and Leonardo saying they are stealing from one another just because they both have painted things in a similar style of realism/used the same color palette. Again, coming from an artist ,who doesn't like Selena, doing something similar doesn't equal copying/stealing.
Exactly. Sarah doesn't own that aesthetic. She has not pioneered this aesthetic. There are others that have done similar works in that aesthetic WAAAAAAY before her and there will be others who do similar works after.
Kinda weird someone is trying to claim really common things as her artwork. We could say her art is ripping off those French movies, or every woman who sits on a balcony and takes an aesthetic photo. Or they’re always copying her. Like the shots are such a reach when you compare them, the color composition, angles, and staging are completely different
What is kinda weird is your account. Seems fake.
@@StreakyBaconMan omg youre right! I ripped it off of Sarah bah bah. She commented this exact thing three years ago!!! And she invented people creating RUclips accounts!!!
Being an introverted human that works from home, getting outside can sometimes prove to be a difficult task. Although I have absolutely no dancing experience and two left feet, I recently started dancing with a local swing dance club and have taken ballroom dancing classes (swing, tango, waltz, cha cha) with a local studio. It has been life changing for me. Suddenly, I have all of these new friends and we don’t even need to know each other’s names to have fun. We can just boogie. You get to meet people from so many walks of life while making mistakes and laughing together. And suddenly I have so many places to go as someone always knows of a dance happening somewhere. It’s a lovely community that I didn’t know even existed in my area. The dance community is very much a “come as you are” group. I highly recommend exploring clubs in your area if you can! Who knows how many little treasures are hiding in your own backyard.
This isn’t entirely Selena’s fault. Usually these treatments are put together by a creative team, including the producers, directors, production company, agency etc. If anything, Selena isn’t seeing the comparisons, and signs off.
I understand that indie artists deserve to have their work be recognised and well received, but honest to god, the tiktok about Sarah comparing Selena's MV to a bunch of other works had the same exact energy as kpop stans doing the same thing with different kpop artists and the content they produce. As a kpop stan, I cannot stress _how_ often this has happened and for many, many, _many_ years too. It's not a new argument or drag. Just continual comparisons and screaming that this new group copied an older group's concept or album art, or MV or whatever. And most of the time, the comparisons are not only reaches but just pure coincidences. No one owns a concept, a location or anything of that sort. I don't understand why Sarah's making a big deal out of Selena's team choosing to work in the same exact location that she did some years or months prior. And why bring up the fact that she's Palestinian? What does her ethnicity have to do with anything? I don't condone Selena stans hating on her, bc that's completely unnecessary and it literally does nothing to solve the situation. Each and every single example Sarah gave was ridiculous and just so happened to be a little similar to something that was done before. I've seen this tired argument so many times in the kpop community that it is the exact same thing here. Nothing different. And if you're in the kpop community, you _know_ how kpop stans can get with one group copying another group. If you're not in the community, I'll tell you right now: it's bad. But it's also annoying and it's a tired and used up argument for almost every single group out there. Kpop stans who've been around and seen it all tend to ignore it, but that doesn't mean it's not there. I also don't think Sarah should apologise for this, it's unnecessary to, but it would be better if she didn't attempt to grasp at straws about something like this in the future, especially if the similarities are not one to one the same exact thing.
Backwards hat Phil is the most 2013 Phil
Hey Phil, I'm a huge fan of the long format shows. Very informative 😊
23:55 Light-year is a measure of distance not time...
As a Filipino, I fully support Taylor Swift not coming to the Philippines because our country might not be that safe for someone of her stature. It reminds me of that the time when the Beatles went on tour here, with the dictator at the time forcing them to perform at their palace. The Beatles refused, faced threats, and were subsequently banned from the Philippines. It's concerning that history might repeat itself with the current president being the son of that same dictator.
That woman complaining about Selena Gomez has one hell of a victim complex.
Lmao yess
Average tik tok user
Creates the most generic music videos ever and gets upset that mainstream music videos share similarities
Love the longer shows, so glad to hear they'll be more of the new standard!
In regards to the Selena Gomez story, who gives a shit? This isn't news, it's a waste of time.
Love the space story. Thank you for sharing all sorts of stories.
I've had my car since 2013 and it doesn't have a touch screen. Even though it's starting to have mechanical issues, I'm reluctant to look at anything new partly because everything has touch screens now. The biggest problem is the lack of a tactile feel of the buttons. You can learn the location and feel of buttons over time, but with touch screens you're just blindly poking some part of a flat surface unless you look to know what you're doing. The comparison to touch screens and texting with phones is spot on; it's a safety issue.
I live only like 5 miles away from the industrial explosion in Clinton Twp, MI it sounded like a war zone it was going on for over an hour. I have some friends that live even closer and had debris in their yard or their fences taken out by debris. Some of my friends that live closer even evacuated for the night with their pets.
The biggest concern was what it was and what was billowing in the air, seemed like forever before they cities made Facebook posts about what was going on and the news didn't cover anything right away either, it just all happened so fast and there was so much confusion. There were so many people outside on their streets the Clinton twp police department needed to call on the surrounding departments to help push by standers back and keep crowd control.
A fire truck had a huge dent and broken windshield from debris, and a firefighter got injured as well but is making a recovery.
It ended up being a building stocked eith a bunch of CO2 canisters and thats what was blowing up and falling all around. So the shrapnel was all chunks of metal from those canisters.
Ok 1) I love the longer shows! Thank you for all that you + your team do!
2) I really appreciated the space coverage!! That’s SO cool!! (Granted I was not high for the segment) more science news is always welcome over here :)
3) love the final points you made about finding the energy to do things while doing it 👏
LOVE the longer shows! Glad more folks are getting work from them, too. And the space story. Phew....
About the dark matter story: As a graduate student in astrophysics and long time watcher of the show, I was ecstatic to see this segment. The visuals chosen were perfect and well placed. The commentary was spot on! The only comment I’d add is I’m pretty sure we have indirect observations of dark matter already (re: gravitational lensing, galactic halos, etc.) but this is the most precise and accurate observation we’ve ever made. Thank you so much for including this segment! I can’t wait to show this to my friends/family that still don’t quite understand dark matter lol!
Yeah, im about 9 miles away from Detroit in sterling heights and felt the explosions. I genuinely thought it was a thunderstorm until i looked outside and didn't see any storms.
Loved the Dark matter segment. So cool to get news on science discoveries and break throughs.
Some fire lines in this today. Also, I absolutely loved your energy on the SPACE! news -- genuinely infectious (in a non-editor-destroying way).
About the car safety story: I recently purchased a Subaru Outback Wilderness and the whole middle console is a touch screen…which at first was a huge selling point because honestly it just looks cool. However we’ve learned having the A/C and heated seat controls on the screen is unbelievably frustrating not to mention unsafe. There’s no easy way to change the temperature without clicking in to a separate screen. Manual controls will be my top priority next time I look for a vehicle.
Also, thank you Phil. As a science nerd, your space segment was very enjoyable to me, too. 🖤
Great show as ever. A small nitpick though, a light year is not a measure of time. Cheers!
I LOVE the space segment! Please keep more science stories coming!
I love when Phil does STEM related news
i agree about the touch screens in cars! i personally do not like the lack of a KNOB for my volume & heating/cooling
I love the new longer videos!!!
The space story was dope! So cool
😊 Phil, I just wanted to say I am loving the new format. God bless you and hope you have the team fortitude to keep it up! If it becomes too much of a grind for the team shorter episodes are always welcome to me too❤
I would LOVE for more vehicles to go back to using analog devices like switches and knobs. It feels more satisfying and like you are actually doing something to change something. On top of that, if one knob goes out, it doesn't mean the rest of them are broken like a screen does. I drive a 99 GMC jimmy, a 2013 Chevy 1500, 07 Pontiac grand prix, and a 2021 Toyota sienna, and while I love the sienna for all of its features, the others are so much nicer to drive at night or long distances simply because there is less going on, and you don't have a screen shining at you. My moms previous sienna, a 2020, was worse with 3 stalks, one just for cruise control, though a older screen. the cruise control in all of my other vehicles is confined into a small switch and a button on the end of the turn signal, except for the Silverado where its 4 buttons on the steering wheel. Cars today feel overly complicated just to be complicated. Touch screens just make it worse, as now we have screens the size of small TVs within cars, containing almost every function of the car. I like the screen in the 2021 sienna because its big enough to use, and works well for the reverse camera and all of its features, but the majority of the cars functions such as AC and cruise control are still analog, and it doesn't take up the entire dash. I don't understand why manufactures felt the need to include massive screens with every feature, beyond just trying to follow what tesla does, and seeing as teslas quality is terrible, I don't know why anyone would want to do that in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I like having a screen for apple car play, radio selection, etc, and the HUD in the sienna is pretty cool, but they aren't a necessity to the cars function, and if either broke, I could still drive it long distance with creature comforts such as AC. Plus I just miss the faint green hue of the jimmy's dash when I'm in other cars.
I drive for Amazon and every one of our vehicles has a touch screen. They are older vehicles though so things like headlights, turn signals and windshield wipers are all physical buttons. the screen is mostly for back up cams and playing music.
Last two sections were the best Phil. Thanks.
Touch Screen cars always felt like something that youd need a co-driver for. You cant feel what your pressing on a touch screen so you have to read it which means eyes off the road
Don't apologize about that space stuff. Love it
