However:

Evolution of Penis Morphology (by Hayley C.)
this was some of the best stand up I've seen in a long time!
The Whiners on an Airplane - Saturday Night Live
About a minute or so into this, I realized I had no interest in even hearing people pretend to whine.

How much money does Jaden have?
I see this and worry.
Yes, it's funny and, yes, it's important to have a sense of humor. I'd still feel more comfortable about his options as he grows into a young adult if he first nailed the math, and then made the joke.
The First Horror Movie Written Entirely By Bots
Excellent! I suppose that the way to generate the first of the many sequels is to add this short to the bot's training data.
China’s New Bio Weapon Targets Race and Ethnicity
laowhy86, who made the underlying video, lists his sources in his YouTube description as:
* https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/health-china-bgi-dna/
* https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2019/08/its-high-time-germany-fund-and-fix-its-military/159149/
* https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Journals/Military-Review/Directors-Select-Articles/Nanatechnology/
* https://nonproliferation.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/scientific_risk_assessment_genetic_weapon_systems06_cover.pdf
I've not checked the video's claims against his sources, but didn't hear anything about bioweapons or the PRC/CCP's interest in them that seemed surprising.
The video did strike me as partisan: I have no doubt that the USG is also working on weaponizing precision medicine. While I don't like partisan presentations, I recognize that may be acceptable to keep a topic tractable (thus, "Chinese genetic bioweapons" v "all genetic bioweapons").
I think this is a very important topic, so would like to see the _ideas_ discussed - not just our political differences exposed.
Can anyone expressing concerns about the original video indicate which _ideas_ they think are incorrect or overstated? (I'm not interested in the partisan aspect of the video: I'm aware of that already.)
