Ok, so the audio track for the first V2 video is cleaned and edited and I only lost 40% of it to fuck ups...now I need to actually edit in footage. This is the worst part of doing You Tube

I mean. He literally isn't our PM any more and we score more highly on basically every freedom metric, so it's going fine, thanks for asking

This seems like a totally normal comment from a normal, unracist person, who is normal. Yes. To 39min a video on the B-29 in which there are roughly 38mins and 58 seconds where I don't talk about slave labour....

I occasionally get asked if I have a 'team'. Like, no. I have some mates who're YTers and we sometimes do collabs, and there's a lovely chap who's maybe going to make some maps but the research, writing, editing etc is me.

1/3 It’s Friday so a quick update before I head to the pub. The Superfortress video was a lot of fun to make, and as I said, I plan a couple of follow up. But. Three things happened, i) I fell backwards into a book on the V2 programme, ii) I got asked to do some stuff on Gallipoli,

Gallipoli, like, WTAF? Naval bombardment on 19th Feb doesn’t do much, the the RN hangs around. 18th March go in force & its a disaster, so they think "let's land troops now" The Turks had enough time to form A WHOLE NEW ARMY and bring it up....great job lads, great job

AI is, essentially, a bit like smoking. It makes things a bit easier, you can turn off your brain, and stuff just happens. To some extent this is harmless. You want a recipe or a travel tip – sure why not. You want to fact check a date or a person – no problem. But it is super addictive

Lord Hardthrasher @lordhardthrasher.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

HELP! I need, for reasons that will eventually become clear, to rapidly bone up on the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915. Can anyone recommend a couple of books I can get on Kindle and/or audiobook and some documentaries that are worth watching!!! @profgsheffield.bsky.social you might be my only hope!

The B-17 Was Crap with Will Carver

The B-29 crashed *a lot* [from the AAF Statistical Diget, World War II (Table 100)] – of the “Very Heavy Bombers” which were almost all B-29s, 29% of all losses happened in the US. Of the “Heavy Bombers” almost all B-17s or B-24s, that number is 14%

...and it gets better; the US has arrested the Tate Bros with a view to extraditing them to the UK where they face multiple fraud, rape, sex trafficking and child pornography charges. 20+ victims over 8 years. Lovley fellows. They're also wanted in Romania which they fled whilst under arrest

Beating the Argies in Argentina and putting 6 goals past the French on the same day is quite something. Shame we couldn't play the Germans and Japanese at something to complete the set.....

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

I admit to being a little taken aback with just how badly this has done - www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfEN... – 60% fewer views than usual, worst video in the last six months. I think I need to have a bit of a rethink about Burma, because much as I know some love them, the numbers don’t lie.

I'm a sucker for an underdog story. Arthur Ferry, 23, is ranked 114 in the world. He got a wildcard to play at Wimbeldon, and yet he knocked out the world No 10 today, in straight sets, winning the 3rd 6-0, and is going to play in the *semi-final* on Friday....holy shit lad.

These are the men who shed their blood, Amongst the filthy Burma mud, On the Arakan Front and Imphal Plain, In blistering heat and bloody rain. Later on, in years to come, When you speak of battles fought and won, Remember these men who fought so well, And lived and died in that green hell.
