I enjoy watching Yannick Kilcher. He has great walk-throughs of key papers as well as a bunch of other stuff.

Reply to comment by Musikcookie in What we don't owe the future | Longtermism is a philosophy of grandiose ambition but short on useful insights. Our moral obligation is to improve the society we live in, not the ones to come. by IAI_Admin

Reply to Plicykling (plī-si-k(ə-)liŋ) in action - Part 2 by ramblingrubbisher
More challenging than plogging, which is picking up rubbish whilst jogging.
The names come from the Swedish "plocka" = to pick (up), so close to the English "pluck".
