If you subscribe on YouTube, there are behind the scenes episodes and other extras that explain a LOT as far as the timelines are concerned. The short answer is, it depends on the talent & their schedule.

You don’t have to like them, but saying that you *hate* them crosses about 12 lines for me and I don’t trust you AT ALL. In ANY context. And ESPECIALLY if you claim to have some liberatory/revolutionary politic.

The first "official" public execution. Words matter. We've seen all manner of government entities execute citizens in public since the dawn of the nation.

ALL of this. I didn't/don't have the bandwidth for this 100% correct analysis. Thank you.

"Mad Dog Caliguiri. I'll kick your ass, philosophically." I had that weird, naked man taped to the ceiling of the steps leading to my basement lair when I was in my early 20s.

Per a French teacher on reddit, those substitute teachers have been sitting around on their hands, waiting to be assigned to teach with no explanation as to why they weren't being deployed before this kicked off.

The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops loses a lot of credibility with me when he called the DOD the "Department of War".

Heather Chirdon @heatherchirdon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Why is the Catholic Church using "Department of War", for starters? Congress hasn't changed the official designation; it's still the "Department of Defense". You don't get to tsk-tsk fascism while calling it by its preferred nomenclature.

I'm sorry, your doctor told you HRT put you at a high risk for WHATSTHATNOW?! No no no. Time for a 2nd opinion, because my doctor *&* the specialists I'm dealing with @ the fucking midLife center are singing a different tune. Stroke? Yes. Cancer? Not anymore. That's OLD science afaik.

Sitting in Wesley Posvar Hall, watching Rupar getting dragged in r/pittsburgh for omitting the 'h' at the end of "University of Pittsburgh" when he quoted John Donald Bowman is peak pettiness for me.

Correction: she used Gen AI to *produce a shoddy image of a darkened alleyway instead of finding someone who could create art*.

Heather Chirdon @heatherchirdon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I enjoyed her work for a long time, but to have a historian use Gen AI to produce art is extraordinarily disappointing. I even ignored her Substack, because there's just so much of it, but this? To call this "tone-deaf" is an understatement.

Heather Chirdon @heatherchirdon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I don't understand why you're using AI to generate images in the first place. Are there not stock images of darkened alleyways you could use?

I read this at about the same age as you, but! I had a *little* brother at the time. He was about 2. Little blond kid. I read Gage's death scene one summer afternoon visiting my grandparents' place while he was napping next to me. I fell TF apart, grabbed him & started absolutely sobbing. Twas bad.

I have worked with plenty of nurses about whom this anecdote would not be a surprise. Having the ability to calculate dosages & knowing how to lift people properly =/= transferrable life skills.

I am so tired of Jonestown being a stock reference for “haha, you’re in a cult.” 918 people died, most against their will, and still it has become shorthand for how stupid you think someone is. It's the McDonald's hot coffee incident of mass death — universally referenced, entirely misremembered.
