Your humble servant is currently hard at work writing Video #89, and having a great time.
That may read as sarcasm but it’s not, I’m genuinely having a great time.

Animation continues apace, just yesterday I got through the most difficult and annoying section. Should be all downhill from here, everything that’s left to do is relatively easy.
One of the drawbacks of having a long-ass video is that it feels ...

Attention Citizens:
Happy Friday!
Quick early look at the next video.
This was what I was animating today, people in legislatures screaming at each other, lol.
For the animation, I hit the 50% mark like... literally two minutes ago... so, HUZZAH, mission accomplished. <...

I’m finally down in the animation mines, digging away, making… slight progress… every day.
Animation is funny, because at the very beginning the progress is HILARIOUSLY SLOW. It’s very normal in the early stages to be like “oh, it never ...

A little housekeeping up front.
Patreon is requiring all creators who are getting paid per-video to switch over to a monthly billing schedule. No action is required on your part, but I just figured that I’d mention it here just ...
2025-04-15 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys,
I just wanted to alert everybody that Patreon is having all creators who bill per-video (like me!) switch over to a per-month subscription schedule. This is a mandatory change, every creator has to do it at some point during 2025. I’ve scheduled my s...

I'm going to do a short Q&A section for the April 15th Newsletter, so if you have any interesting questions that you'd like to ask feel free to leave them as comments below.
Uninteresting questions are also permitted I guess. There's currently no law against it. 2025-04-01 21:28:27 +0000 UTC View Post

It's finally up, THE JULY REVOLUTION.
To be totally honest, one of the reasons that I like this period in history is that reading about 19th century elections is fun. Unlike the Roman era, you actually get to know the results! You can actually visualize them on screen! Fun! Huzzah!
