I decided it would be more interesting, fun, and evergreen to write CNBC explains 'How America Got Hooked On Cars,' a driving update.
Rejected video for Super Bowl post
Feb. 9th, 2025 02:49 pmI decided it was too serious and not tied closely enough to the game, so I posted LegalEagle says Don't call it the 'Super Bowl!' I might post it in the future.
Postponed video for Black Friday post
Nov. 29th, 2024 12:05 pmWhile this is more on topic for the Retail Apocalypse, I decided I liked the subject of Company Man explains 'Walmart - Why They're Hated' for Black Friday/Buy Nothing Day more. Maybe later.
Postponed video for Paris Olympics
Jul. 26th, 2024 12:20 pmI thought it was too early to share this video at Crazy Eddie's Motie News, so I decided to post Vox asks 'Can Paris fix its poop problem before the Olympics?'
I decided on 'Bankrupt - Borders Book Store' by Bright Sun Films, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse for Wayback Wednesday instead. I might use it in a future post.
I decided I liked the videos I used in Be Smart claims 'Fixing Daylight Saving Time Is THIS Easy' more. Maybe next year.
Discarded video for UAW strike post
Sep. 15th, 2023 10:58 amI was going to use this as the final video in UAW goes on strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers, but reached a stopping point before where I was planning on embedding it, so it goes here.
I used a nearly identical video with a more informative preview image in U.S. birthrate resumes its decline for World Population Day 2023.
I thought about including the following video in CNBC explains 'How The U.S. Is Stalling A Recession', but wrote an end to the post before I could use it.
The news developed fast enough that the following video was already out of date when I wrote Two Twitter announcements — Tucker Carlson's Twitter show and Elon Musk hiring a new CEO for Twitter.
Rejected video for SVB collapse post
Mar. 18th, 2023 03:05 pmI decided I didn't need the following video to conclude Wall Street Journal and CNBC explain the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. I had a better ending already.
Rejected video for Nobel Prize Day post
Dec. 10th, 2022 03:04 pmI wanted something more explanatory and less opinionated for Time introduces the 2022 Nobel Prize winners plus the Innovator of the Year for Nobel Prize Day.
