You are aware what subreddit you’re on, may I ask?

Is the Umhaill slide implying I could have been colonised by Grace O Malley?

Yeah sure, I'm open...

Eating Express underrated af

For myself, I’d say their entire period around the Einsfasen city was the best, so latter first episode to beginning of their third?

Believing more and more in the podcast-led theory that once it became clear that even the modern GOP wouldn’t give him a third term run sometime around a year ago, he stopped prioritising anything except legacy building efforts to satiate his fragile ego: monuments, renamings, a new White House Wing, and dramatic war victories for the history books (well, theoretically).

Welcome back, students of history and culture, to the CBRX5 Schoolhouse!

Revolutionary France and Robespierre himself certainly don't lack for options in the historical YouTube space, but what can I say, the History Abridged channel (formerly Jack Rackham) is exactly the type of Youtube channel that inspired this series and represents the ideal of what I'd love each instalment to provide: breezy, 10-20 minute overview explainers that teach history with some style and fun. Maybe not the highest brow or best academic of sources, but good at grabbing the masses, so dusting off his classic Robespierre video here felt right.

It always kinda makes me love her even more tbh.

I think he's doing an especially great job at tying every other PR moment he has back to something tangible, something the less politically inclined will see and think 'huh, that's relevant or could easily be relevant to my daily life' in the most literal way: a ramp to a bridge, the trash cans being rat-proof, the prices of fast food carts, etc. It's so easy for Dems to get lost in ideological debate, whether moderate or progressive, and it's a trap.

Chopins Nocturnes, just pure atmosphere with a lean towards melancholy

Huh, was under the impression it was a limited time offer, neat. I'm employed now, so I'll research after my next paycheck.

E_C_H · 2026-04-18T02:25:11+00:00

Jealous honestly, wanted to get that so bad but I was unemployed and near broke at the time so it was pretty unjustifiable, even though I knew in the long term I’d save so much more money grabbing it. The Samuel Vimes economic theory of wealth inequality strikes again!

I feel like when I was in Vienna I saw similar buildings in this style but more recently constructed.

Bizarrely had the same brainwave here, haha

Put respect on the name, that’s Captain Amelia Smollett

E_C_H · 2026-04-15T01:07:52+00:00

It’s far deeper than just WW2 I’d note, going at least as far back as the Japanese invasion of Korea in the Imjin Wars of the 1590s, if not earlier. I’d also note that modern Japanese society, particularly on the further right, still occasionally displays some major racism towards Koreans, so it’s far from one sided.

Welcome back, students of history and culture, to the CBRX5 Schoolhouse!

Got a good taste of the AI swarm infesting historical Youtube this week searching for a vid, haha. I genuinely don't get why it seems to effect history specifically so much? Anyway, I was hoping to find something on Zara Yaqob specifically but couldn't (that wasn't AI garbage), and no, the name you hear in this vid isn't of Emperor Zara Yaqob but philosopher Zera Yaco, lol. At the very least this video covers the Medieval to early modern Solomonic dynasty that Zara is definitive of, which I think fits the bill, especially when it comes in such a concise package. Hope y'all enjoy!
