I just completed the third and final part of my video on Constantine IX Monomachos. With any luck, the main channel will return and this video will be the first new upload. If you go to Patreon, then you can view this video now. patreon.com/thersites/posts/…
Here is a new backup channel that I created. In the event that I cannot recover my channel, this will be the new main hub for my history content.

My google account associated with my YouTube channel has been hacked. If you see anything posted on my channel in the next few days, I did not put it up.
On Monday, October 19, I will be streaming with Sean Chick and Luke Freet on the Battle of Cedar Creek, as we revisit this 1864 battle in more detail.
Tonight, Sean and I are looking at the Battle of the Philippine Sea.
Tomorrow night, we will be finishing up our discussion of video games in the late 1990's.
All of this and more is on my YouTube channel.
Tonight at 9:00 PM EST, Sean and I will be covering the Battle of Antietam in greater detail, as we promised several weeks back. Join us tonight for the 164th anniversary of the battle which set the stage for the Emanicipation Proclamation.
Doing a stream tonight with @Cynical_History at 9:00 PM EST.
The topic: President Thomas Woodrow Wilson.
The twist: how did Wilson's scholarship as a historian influence his time in the White House?
The answer: you will have to tune in to find out.
This week on my channel, it is "better know a Cato" week. There were a number of Catos between Cato the Elder and Cato the Younger, who were four generations apart. This week, I'm covering three of them, all of whom achieved the consulship, but who had vastly different fates.
The last time I posted on here, in October 2023, I promised a video on Curio the Younger. Tomorrow morning, I shall finally make good on my promise. You will duly observe that I made good on my vow faster than Douglas MacArthur returned to the Philippines.
Currently, I am working on a couple of videos. One is going to cover the controversial career of Curio, the infamous Tribune from Caesar's Civil War. The other is about the Chagatai Khanate. Be on the lookout for both in the near future. I may also do a short series on China.
I have been raising the points put forward in this article since November 2016.
I fear that the Democratic establishment feel that the pied piper strategy was rehabilitated in 2022. It already failed once against a comically weak opponent in 2016. Why not try it again?
For those who continue to insist exposing the lie of Russiagate is a “right-wing” trope, here’s Jacobin reporting on the recent NYU study that of coure was largely ignored: jacobin.com/2023/01/hillary-…
Planning to do at least five more videos before the end of the month. Three more Romans of Renown biographies, a Byzantine Emperor, and a refutation of Graham Hancock's "Ancient Apocalypse".

Call me a radical, but I happen to believe that a job should lift workers out of poverty – not keep them in it.
Mike Gravel makes his exit the way that only he can. Gravel was one of a kind and he will be greatly missed.

On my politics channel, Spirit of Thersites, I am about to embark on a new series where I examine and tier rank every Governor, Lt. Governor, House Rep, and Senator from all 50 states. Subscribe and stay tuned:
