He’s got that try-hard cool professor thing going on with the way he talks and stuff, idk exactly how to explain it, his voice is also a little high pitched and nasally but not overwhelmingly so. He probably wouldn’t annoy me anywhere nearly as much if I didn’t know he was an academic. It’s just that “trying to hard to be a cool professor” stereotype brought to life

I never had this kind of professor, mine were all either engaged and nice, affably checked out, or in 2 cases, not very nice but forgettably so

the recent American Prestige episode where they talk about imperialism and Star Wars with Daniel Immerwahr was good, but it took about twenty minutes to get to the topic because Danny wanted to pitch his idea to start a colloquium on a new interpretation of Marxist IR, so yeah, i kind of get why people find him annoying

Several retellings later, they've convinced themselves that the spiced up version was always true.

Paranormal Home Inspectors was a show I wish had kept going.

First, they have a ghost hunter go through the history of the house, interview the occupants, the any interesting stuff that happened in the area, all the typical spooky ghost hunter stuff. EKG meters, spirit photos, "bad energy", etc.

Then, they have a guy who does home inspections check the HVAC, the plumbing, the foundation, all the stuff that's actually causing the weird noises and things falling over and such. It's usually just a door isn't level or there's a slow carbon dioxide leak or a dead raccoon in the sump pump.

So many people who have deeply invested in the ghost haunting, and don't want to accept that it was just a stupid furnace filter needing changing. It's a perfect demonstration of sunk cost beliefs.

The Far Out Lounge was opened in the spring of 2019. Located at 8504 South Congress, the bar and music venue celebrate the history of old Austin. Willie Nelson has shot movies and music videos here, and Janis Joplin performed here once upon a time.

This was home to the beloved biker bar Beverly's in the 1980's, and was a hideout for The Newton Boys back in the 1920's. Using part of the original bar that opened at this location in 1908, The Far Out Lounge offers cold drinks and good food, along with live music and other special events.

Voted Best New Venue at the Austin Music Awards 2020.

you could probably make some case that success of the russian revolution against the monarch and elite scared the US industrial/banking elite in their boots: the hearsts, carnegies, rockefellers, fords, etc and resulted in them working overdrive to crush the us leftist/georgian revolts to make sure it didn't happen domestically and throw out a few peanuts to disarm it before it actually took any real root.

and you could argue the third reich was liberals siding with fascism against the anti-capitalists because they saw what leftists did to rich people in russia so if it failed maybe liberals wouldn't side with fascism having believed 'leftism' to be a failed dead end.

but yes it's extremely dumb and historical what-ifism is some of the dumbest pointless poo poo to squabble and speculate over

Iirc the exact point was that if the USSR didn't exist socialism would still be fresh and relatively undefined. I think he basically wanted a world where r words don't say poo poo like mao/stalin/che/castro/communism killed 8000000438124323 people.
