Wisecrack asks you to just “Press Start” for “Are Psychedelic Drugs GOOD for You?”. A playful combination of classic video games that introduce famous thinkers, problems and teachings.” This one features my main man Aldous Huxley and my fallback Smash Bros. contender, Kirby.
A mini documentary from the fine folks at The Guardian with Naomi Klein about climate change and its link to humans habitually screwing themselves over. Enjoy.
A rare archival performance from the patron saint of The Ironicle, George Carlin. George was more than a comedian too many, and like Mark Twain before him, to some, he was just a clown. We know better though here at The Ironicle. We can’t say “shit”, “piss”, “fuck”, “cunt” “cocksucker”, “mother-fucker” or “tits” without feeling his holy spirit smiling down on us. Of course, he’s not actually smiling down on us cuz he’s dead. So it goes. Dead people don’t smile, babies are pure, and you still can’t say “fuck” on tv. So, now that’s thats out of my system please enjoy this amazing performance from April 13th, 1979 (which also happened to be Friday the 13th).
Munich based design studio, Kurzgesagt, designs some of my favorite infographic videos. German for “in a nutshell,” Kurzgesagt was founded in 2013 by Philipp Dettmer & Stephan Rether. Through the combination of eye popping colors, minimalist animation and a plethora of consumable facts, they create videos that are entertaining and informative.
