Writing the script: "Gotta make sure I get all this, I'd better give him an awesome monologue here"
Animating lip flaps: ".....never again"

Gonna start calling a single piece of trivia a trivium, who's with me

[Jack Rackam @JackRackamYT]

There is a strange kinship I feel making a small edit to a quiet corner of Wikipedia and looking back to see who else has done the same over the years

Today we honour the passing of one of history's most remarkable leaders, taken from us too soon. 1800 years on, we remember you my dear sweet boy. May you rest on a bed of roses... or beneath one

I may have spent an hour and a half last night looking at Byzantine memes

@beatmastermatt Deja vu

So, YouTube seems to have made a recent change - I get why they don't always show subscriptions on the home page and all that... but when I'm searching for footage of New Zealand's 1984 election, I really don't need to see whatever hot video they think I missed from my home page

@hankgreen @TheCrashCourse I'd say Crash Course is a big part of how I ended up as a history content creator today

[Jack Rackam @JackRackamYT]

Right now my money's on Ashoka, Akbar, and Ali, maybe throw in somebody like Sejong the Great

The Nine Worthies were leaders held up in the Middle Ages as the pinnacles of chivalry - three pagans, three Jews, three Christians. Let's say we open it up to Buddhists, Confucians, Muslims, etc. Who do you think makes the cut?

Hang on a second... AD is Latin for Anno Domini. BC is ENGLISH for Before Christ. What happened to the other Latin phrase? People who speak languages other than English, what do you use instead of BC?

@Marthchrom You know it!

Hunting for images on my next video and stumbled across this - oops! All ruffs!

[Jack Rackam @JackRackamYT]

Pet peeve: looking for images related to the Early/High Middle Ages and getting 50 results for Elizabethan England

[Jack Rackam @JackRackamYT]

Reading a particular medieval author who begins a chapter: "In May... every lusty heart flourisheth and burgeoneth, for as the season is lusty to behold"

Can't believe my guy would slut-shame the calendar like that

The downside of consuming and producing YouTube on the same account - I pulled my phone out of my pocket to discover YT asking me for camera permission to make a short.

So uh, sorry in advance if my next piece of content is 60 seconds of room tone

[Eddy Burback @eddyburback]

I got this notification from YouTube didn’t know what it was

When I clicked it just said this?

[Jack Rackam @JackRackamYT]

When you think of century-spanning civil war, you probably think of Japan's Sengoku Jidai or China's Warring States Period... how about Norway?

Spartacus! The leader of the only just war in history, an excuse to talk about Crassus, and the last episode inspired by the Warriors series on MagellanTV. Stanley Kubrick fans eat your heart out
