I haven't watched SungWon's Pokemon Smash or Pass video yet, but when I first saw the announcement post on his Tumblr, I was like, "oh, do Digimon next!" Until I thought about all the ones where they fuse with the kids and changed to "please don't do Digimon next".
To disagree with your Dark Brandon analysis a bit - it's basically fine where they got it from. And having fun online will get a lot more people to join their side than the endless doom porn that has been the left's MO for years. People join movements that let them enjoy themselves! It's stupid, but creating a movement to "save Democracy" means creating an environment people want to join. That's both delivering actual promises and being people that aren't annoying scolds to be around. Which, in today's ecosystem, means dumb and possibly sketchily sourced memes.
Cool stuff here! I'll definitely check our that podcast you did on the manosphere. I was wondering if Tate was an outlier or if the algo is now favoring his sort of ilk, I guess its more of the latter. Interested to see how the Jake Paul fight might play out, Logan isn't exactly blowing up WWE right now so perhaps the Paul brothers schtick might be getting a little aged.
I liked the crypto update epecially since I saw an ad for coinbase while watching sportscenter this morning. The Tornado Cash thing I was very unaware of but its just amazing how sometimes the most workable tools in this sphere are primarily centered around money laundering, while the rest are just pump and dumps with little behind them. (though those projects are weaponizing potential utility!)
The khaki pants and lanyard crowd see a meme

I immediately wondered whether anyone had made a "Darth Brandon" version of the meme, and, as of two hours ago, apparently, yes: https://www.reddit.com/r/HoChiWindu/comments/wlwz4s/darth_brandon_doesnt_exist/
