Q: Guess who loves a fun, comedic animation? A: Everyone. A man and a woman each driving their car in the city slave over a mysterious diamond well kept in a safe. Who will be the winner? Halfway between THE PINK PANTHER for its subject and the femme fatale character from SIN CITY, this animation without dialogue is sure to delight your eyes! Both for the style of its graphics and for its music!

Featured Video -- Short Film: "The Smell of Smoke" Description: "The Smell of Smoke" tells the story of Dottie, a woman in her 80s who struggles with increasing loneliness and frustration over being forgotten by the world around her. One day, she wanders into the East Village bar where she and her late husband had spent many night with their friends, years before. As Dottie reminisces, thSpringSutterime travels between the 1940’s when the world seemed to belong to herself and her husband, and the sparse desperation that the 1990s offers her. Jason, a neighborhood kid, who is hustling his way through tough circumstances, follows her into the bar. Charming and manipulative, he takes advantage of Dottie’s vulnerable state. Dottie is captivated by the male attention. What will we sacrifice to not be forgotten and alone?

As more Virginia school boards allow collective bargaining, we highly recommend watching "The Cartel," a 2009 movie that shows where heavy unionization of K-12 education leads. Stream on @VidaFair for just $3.99: tinyurl.com/uukh6b9c

Shame on @MichaelMalice for reading my mind, copying my life choices & then presenting it all as his own to @DBenner83, about fleeing the NYC area after many decades there & relocating to #Austin during 2021-22. They discuss it on the Liberty Vault podcast here: youtu.be/V24zMNdYnBg I go a step further, that much like other national migration trends of suburbanization and gentrification before it, there is a new national migration trend under way in the 2020 decade -- except this new one doesn't have a name yet. But it can be described as people fleeing the legacy coastal cities like NYC, LA & SF to head toward midsize, landlocked cities known as creative centers for their regions, such as Austin, Nashville, Raleigh, Boulder & Boise. (Maybe we need an online migration trend naming contest. "Saneification"?) These destination cities are also places that tended not to equate moral virtue with the duration & stridency of lockdowns & mandates. They tended not to declare themselves sanctuary cities. And they tended not to decriminalize shoplifting. I talk about it with @BrookingsInst demographer William Frey here: youtu.be/OCmP_bAW31E

Don't feel like getting a Ph.D. in economics? Instead, maybe just consider watching this 141-second snippet from @heresyfinancial. The case for an impending recession is very strong. Shout out to Joseph Brown for continued on-point content. And find the full video here: youtu.be/Vk_RmDFEHLI

After the release of our new #MonetizeVideo tutorial earlier this week, I got some great questions, which I think I'll develop into a proper FAQ. But for now, as an example... I was asked with so much free online video in the world, why would anyone ever pay to watch video? A: When creators let social media followers know that renting their @VidaFair content supports them directly, it creates a different, more personal experience than sending money to some faceless, big tech, multinational conglomerate. This is the basis of the Patreon, BuyMeACoffee & YouTube "super chat" business models, (although they're all quite different from @VidaFair in other ways). More to come! Thanks for the likes and views so far! And in case you missed it, here's the new tutorial video: youtu.be/ViY7o9OwWb4 #MonetizeFilm #MonetizeVideos #MonetizeMusicVideo #MonetizeComedy #MonetizeStandup #MonetizePodcasts

Watch part 1 of this interview for FREE on YouTube — and part 2 is only $1.99 on the @VidaFair website or app (or even less via our grain tokens). The part free / part paywall monetization approach is perfect for lots of content, esp. podcasts. It might also work for you!
My latest podcast episode, just released, with the brilliant @pbyrne82 on the subject of statin drugs, and their wildly over-hyped benefits: youtu.be/6Fu2VMLjvT0 #Statins #Statin #Lipitor #Zocor #htbmlbb
