Look y’all I know we’ve got a lot of stuff that we’re fighting for, but there’s a million and a half of us who haven’t seen a paycheck in over a month and have no idea when we will see another one.

I’m wondering if I made a mistake combining the two different podcasts into one. I get more downloads because of it, but I wonder if people get confused between movies on Thursdays and other topics on Mondays. I really need to figure all this out. Branding is a huge issue as I try to move forward.

Ken Burns’ new documentary about the American Revolution premieres on Sunday at 8pm Eastern, and @herberthistory.bsky.social, @michaelhattem.bsky.social, & I are hosting a watch party! It’s free to join and you can chat with and ask us questions throughout the premiere.

Regardless of tonight's vote, it is absolutely insane that the richest country in the history of the world is so inept and incapable of feeding or taking care of its people. Its even more insane that half of voters keep choosing this.

Whew that was a lot. Thanks everyone for coming out tonight. Next week we’re gonna do something a little different so make sure you read below. We’re gonna have a lot of fun together. #HATM bsky.app/profile/herb...

That he carries his card with some cash rolled up with a rubber band tells us he never expected to use it #HATM

“Blue books? This is insanity!” “No, this is reality.”- me to students #HATM

Jared Harris is such a delight in everything. #HATM

How do we know this not all retaliation fir Chicago calling their nonsense “pizza” #HATM

Dammit this movie is good #HATM

Number 1 in the world even with all of this. Nice work, team. #HATM

Hey! Cheyenne Mountain! That's here in Colorado! #HATM

You're in for a treat tonight. I watched this a couple weeks ago after we finished #HATM (when the last thing I want to do is watch another movie) and was captivated. Maybe the second best film I've seen this year after Sinners.

If you're an #HATM regular even partial participant, and I'm somehow not following you can you please let me know so I can fix that? We made the transition from twitter to Blue Sky a year ago and I still haven't reconnected with all our community.

And welcome to Historians At The Movies! Tonight we are talking about the worse possible scenario (other than a Duke basketball championship) with A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE on Netflix at 8pm eastern. #HATM 1/

In about 3 hours, a "War Games" for our day. Join in! Growing up, I also had "The Day After" (1983) - very much a cultural event, akin to Roots, a decade earlier. That said, "Special Bulletin" that same year had a bigger impact on me, since it took place in my birth city - Charleston, SC. #hatm

Exciting news for the new Ken Burns series on the American Revolution. @lizcovart.bsky.social @michaelhattem.bsky.social & Historians At The Movies are partnering to bring you a first of its kind watch party next Sunday. Detail below. Share widely. #HATM open.substack.com/pub/jasonher...

Rick Scott is right, government funding for health insurance is such a scam. Google “Rick Scott Medicare fraud” to learn more about this important issue

Shit. I’m going home as fast as I can. Someone gotta save it.

Got my advance copy of @mkn.bsky.social’s latest book today and I’m geeked to read it. On presale now and available in March. Stay tuned! #booksky #HATM 📚💙

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya. #sad 🤣

Talking a timeout to talk about #BBN, the #Celtics, Rick Pitino, and what might have been with @dartadams.bsky.social & @pgagliardi.bsky.social during our conversation on The Cutting Edge. #Kentucky #HATM #Boston Links below.

The House won’t be in for at least another week which means it’s another weekend of being trapped in the house here in Pueblo, Colorado. Simply cannot afford to go out and do anything because we have no idea how long Mike Johnson will cover for the Epstein files.

Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi teaches us how to speak Yautja, which he fully learned for the main role in ‘PREDATOR: BADLANDS’ “You have to use your throat. You don’t use your tongue... every word has a direct translation. You’re emphasizing certain things in the language.”

I’m sorry but this movie SLAPS. We were robbed of a franchise. youtu.be/6rbPTQIdjmY?...

One of my favorite things about white Christian supremacy is how convinced they are that despite their supremacy they’re constantly going to be overtaken by people they consider to be inferior. Black labor, Chinese labor, Latino labor, Islam, everything.

Exciting news. We’ve got a pub date for the 2nd edition of No Common Ground & it’s in paperback! It’ll be out Feb. 1, 2026 & there’s a 30% discount on preorders by using the code 01SOCIAL30. @uncpress.bsky.social

Couldn’t get a job at a university teaching public history…….so I go to universities to teach how to teach public history. 🤷‍♂️ www.ksmu.org/podcast/talk...

Carney on Trump: “I mean, the president can discuss anything—you never know where the conversation is going to go. Yeah, he’s got a very wide range of interests.”

feminism is when you conspire with a rapist to remove women's body autonomy, i am amy coney barrett and i am very smart

After seeing Predator: Badlands last night, here’s my updated list on the live action series, best to worst: Tier 1: 1) Predator Tier 2: 2) Predator: Badlands 3) Prey Tier 3: 4) Predators 5) Predator 2 Tier 4: 6) The Predator 7) Alien v Predator 8) Alien v Predator 2

Happy day 5 of #GarWeek, conservation and research day! Here in Minnesota, the #GarLab is proud to contribute to valuable conservation efforts to protect native non-game fishes.

I wouldn't trust Elon Musk to point me to a Publix in Florida.

TOE PICK! This week @dartadams.bsky.social & @pgagliardi.bsky.social join in to talk about the Olympics, pop culture, the NBA, sports movie montages, and one of the most quotable films ever made. THE CUTTING EDGE drops NOW on Reckoning with Jason Herbert

Just so happens, I renewed my Netflix account to watch Frankenstein, so I’ll be able to join for this one! #HATM

Just finished Predator: Badlands. HOLY GOD.

A note.

I am ready for this. ew.com/gremlins-3-r...

If @drkarenlcox.bsky.social can have imposter syndrome, then you can apply for the job, ask that person out, or write your damn book. Go do the things. But first listen to this podcast.

Planning on watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary premiere on Nov. 16th? Join @lizcovart.bsky.social, @herberthistory.bsky.social, and myself for a live watchalong. www.eventbrite.com/e/ken-burns-...

Spending the evening plotting out the best fishing destination I can afford once this furlough is over. Venice, Louisiana currently in the lead.

Reading @edmorales.bsky.social to tape on the pod Friday and this is just body blow after body blow. Cannot remember reading something with so much conviction. Goodness, y’all. Cannot wait.

Sitting at lunch plotting my return to Florida like

Headed to the Southern? @drkarenlcox.bsky.social sat down with me for a very real and very raw conversation about her life, the challenges that made her, and where we need to go as historians. This is about as unfiltered as it gets. Like and share if you dig it.

My 13 year-old’s mom just texted. Apparently Benjamin’s new favorite person in history is John Brown. Mission accomplished.

This week Historians At The Movies talks about something not relevant at all. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, November 9 at 8pm eastern for A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Keep #HATM growing by sharing and we’ll see you soon!

Dear @aoc.bsky.social can you please primary this dude

CIVIC DUTY COMPLETE

It’s publication day for two of my friends who have terrific books out. First is @rickbell.bsky.social new book on the American Revolution, which looks at the conflict from a global scale: amzn.to/4hIdKf9

When the furlough began I jumped at the chance to make up for lost time. I started recording a bunch of pods & was reading 3-4 books a week. I worked out a bunch. As it winds on, I'm having more trouble maintaining that drive, mostly from the anxiety of not knowing when I'll get back to work. 1/
