Rejected video for Earth Day post
Apr. 22nd, 2025 10:20 pmI wanted to be spooky, so I posted Storied asks 'Why Does A Ghost Whale Terrorize The Japanese Coast?' An Earth Month ghost story, then I wanted to laugh, so I posted 'The Daily Show' Celebrates Earth Day by Tackling Climate Change.
Unused video for debate post
Sep. 11th, 2024 07:11 pmIt's quite surreal watching a police standoff on the freeway a mile from where I used to live on YouTube.🚓
I used another video from the musical for Happy Sweetest Day 2023 on a day that also celebrates pumpkin cheesecake, apples, reptiles, and 'Back to the Future'.
I found a video with livelier delivery and informative preview image for R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor, who died one day before 'Nothing Compares' earned two News & Documentary Emmy Awards nominations.
I didn't include this in 'The Territory' leads nominees for Exceptional Merit In Documentary Filmmaking at the 2023 Emmy Awards, so I'm sharing it here.


I came up with another way to conclude Three hottest days on record this week and it's only Thursday.
Discarded video for Juneteenth
Jun. 19th, 2023 11:03 amI used a clip with more location footage and interviews for TED-Ed asks 'What is Juneteenth, and why is it important?'
I used a quote from The Guardian instead in House votes to approve debt ceiling deal, on to the Senate.
I chose another video on this topic for PBS NewsHour explains 'What to know about the COVID pandemic as public health emergencies end'.
I already had a BBC video with the same information and better presentation for U.N. estimates that the human population passed 8 billion.
I had a better video for VOA explains Indigenous Peoples' Day plus Canadian Thanksgiving and Leif Erikson Day.
I used Shark Tank's Twitter image for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program instead of this one in 'Queer Eye' leads structured reality programs with six nominations at the 2022 Emmy Awards.


Rejected video for Veep Day post
Aug. 9th, 2022 03:49 pmI probably should have used the following in VP Harris casts the tie-breaking vote on Inflation Reduction Act for Veep Day 2022 but I ran out of time to watch it before posting.
I decided against including the following video in U.S. population growth rate at record low because of pandemic for World Population Day 2022, replacing it with an update from three months later.
