You're not that far off, actually. I consider us similar to a modern take on usenet/NNTP. The UX should be a bit cleaner than those things, but I'm function, similar.

I'm really happy to see you're still doing these. I've been pretty out of the loop for a while now. Life is crazy.

Long live #todayinhistory!

I'm actually starting a podcast called Today in History. I should post it up here when I have it officially launched.

That would be amazing!

Paywall. yay.

Thanks. Haha.

This is great! You have such awesome #TodayInHistory posts.

Wow, this is a good one.

This is a great excerpt. Thanks!

I love this.

That's awesome. Haha.

Ooooh, nice. I work in aviation.

Thanks for that!

I should try that. That is a lot more work than my morning coffee reading being linked here.

Maybe I'm lazy?

I can see what you're saying, but I'm still surprised most people don't share it or even comment on the events being discussed. Maybe I'm the only one who finds the events worth talking about; perhaps I should select better events. A couple of the posts have garnered lots of discussion:

I suppose those two were hot-button issues, and they were almost a year ago.

Hahaha. Good point. Not many do.

Care to share the caveats?

Awesome!

I'll be gone before long, I think.

voat has been crap since day 1. I won't be caught dead there.

I don't think Reddit has changed as much as some people say; it's changed some, but I'm almost ten years older than I was when I started on Reddit. I've changed.

What a lunatic.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. It's good confirmation for me.

Also, I didn't realize you were a redditor/moderator. Heh. I feel like i should have known that, somehow.

Do you ever get on snoonet?

But I don't want to read any more Card! =(

Alvin is what drove me away from Card as well. When compared to the Ender series it really clued you in on how exactly Card views himself. The similarities of Alvin and Ender are poignant.

It's like Card considers himself a tortured and lonely genius with no friends because he's a genius.

That was my first thought as well when i read this.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.

It's good, but very similar to the others.

Oh, cool! I didn't know that. I'll have to join.

I saw you pop in, but you didn't stay long enough for me to say hi. =(

Hmm. That's a really good point.

How could I tie my past posts into #todayinhistory? Could community tags make that work?

That second article is a lot better. Haha.

I get really tired of the MAYBE IT IS A DYSON THING OR SOMETHING articles with zero actual information, fact, or substance. =P

No problem! And maybe the new tag will help.

Good deal. I just joined.

Thank you.
