His Patreon doesn't even have a tier for that much money! It's the easiest thing to fact check!
if you’re wondering how it’s going, internet historian fans have resorted to making up qanon conspiracy theories about hbomb
how does venting work in among us
because i thought that the impostor were using their shapeshifting abilities to be able to fit into the vents
but then among us added roles and made it so crew members could vent
but also only if they're an engineer
is it like
the engineers are the only ones that know how to crawl?
is there multiple branching pathways in the vents that only someone who repairs the ship know how to navigate?
polus and the fungle make this even more confusing
on polus, it's just holes, i don't see why they only some people can use them
and the fungle, a plant eats you, then a different one spits you out?
how does that work?
are the impostor able to travel through the roots of the plants?
how do the engineers do it?
if the engineers can do it why can't the rest of the crew?
well actually maybe the crew shouldn't jump into giant plants that can eat you whole
but still why is it that the crew can vent but only when they're engineers, which doesn't even make sense for 2/5 maps
none of this makes sense
i know everyone’s dunking on james somerton but i think people are missing out on internet historian’s fans coping so badly that they aren’t finishing the video
"yeah gender is infinite and all but you can only have 1 of 4 sexualities and if you label your sexuality in a way i deem wrong you're a bad person" genuinely how some of you sound sometimes.
Elon Musk is still saying they'll "debate" who killed Twitter and god, he hasn't realized that this is his legacy, huh?
Like, spoiler alert, Elon Musk isn't taking us to Mars no matter what Captain Lorca said. He's not going to go down in the history books as a new Edison. His most enduring legacy will probably be a cautionary tale. I can't stress how enduring the story of Twitter's failure will be, even long after Twitter itself is forgotten: a man bought a platform so ubiquitous in society that it had every celebrity, reporter and world leader posting on it for FREE, and in a fit of petty ego, obsession, and conspiracy theories, turned it into a barely-functioning mess that alienated all of its userbase but his yes men. It's going to be a infamous business failure story, taught to people and dissected for ages. "The world's richest man blew up a platform everyone used to make someone named catturd2 like him" is just. A tale for the ages
Hbomberguy's latest video is the closest thing to watching an actual murder without anyone getting physically hurt. Criminals are very lucky Harry didn't get into law.
Okay for real though can we also talk about internet historian and illuminaughtii?? Cause both those channels also suck and deserve at least a little of the vitriol Mr. Somerton is currently receiving. Illuminaughtii positioned herself as like an expert on bad businesses and exposing mlms and stuff, and internet historian makes dreck that appeals mostly to edgy teenage boys who think saying slurs is funny. The fact that both of them were also just ripping off other people’s work to make such desperately mid content is a little funny ngl. I hope this video tanks both their YouTube careers too.
EDIT: yes I am now aware that Blair’s channel has already tanked as a result of the dramas that unfolded a few months ago while Hbomb was working on this video (1 mil subscriber count but averaging 20k views a video nowadays. Brutal), but let’s still hope internet historian’s follows suit. Everyone has latched onto the James Somerton centerpiece, but internet historian has a Huge platform (and also sucks).
It would be extremely lame if the guy who got his audience by posting 4chan edgelord bait and anti-sjw cringe and is now pretending to be a respectable channel has the only career that survives this exposé.
James Somerton and Internet Historian
Hbomberguy
They mightve stolen other people's writing but he stole their subscribers
Gay pride happens in June and gay wrath happens whenever hbomberguy drops a 3+ hour video essay about a specific topic
If Hbomberguy made this image about me I'd simply walk into the fucking ocean my time on Earth would be over
might have taken like 4 years but oh boy he sure made good on that promise lol
i think the thing that is specifically bothering me about the conversation about the new hbomberguy video ("live your life in a way so that hbomberguy doesn't tear into you for 3 hours", "hbomberguy has figured out how to death note someone through video essays", "oh new hbomberguy video [incredibly dense paragraphs of text] i now despise james somerton") is that it really feels like people aren't paying attention to what hbomberguy was actually saying. like, as much as he wanted to make people aware of the plagiarism issue, he also very explicitly did not like the fact that he might even remotely have a financial incentive to make those sorts of videos. and rather than the last video, which was a "get mad about this" call to action, hbomberguy spent this whole video sympathizing with the people who were directly out indirectly affected, and wanted the focus of people's attention to be on uplifting small queer creators
but also, negativity drives engagement so i guess it's to be expected.
a second video essay has hit the james somerton
The swiftness and brutality of Hbomberguy’s complete evisceration of James Somerton’s career cannot be overstated.
"internet historian's alt-right anyways" "great day to have never liked james somerton" "never even heard of illuminaughtii before this lol"
that's great buddy but don't go around thinking you're immune to this. if you're not looking for plagiarism, you likely won't notice it unless its egregiously obvious. hell, you've probably consumed plagiarized content without even realizing it. even hbomb pointed out that these people disguised what they presented pretty well as long as you didn't try and dig deeper. don't come away just thinking of this as a callout piece, take this as an important lesson about vetting your sources. if googling scripts in quotes was enough to expose the original, we should all start doing that shit!!
Black Friday is such a joke nowadays. “Don’t miss out on 30% off” don’t piss me the fuck off. People used to hit each other over the head for a microwave that’s how low the prices were. People literally died. We used to be a country
There should be more '-deo' and '-dio' words relating to words that have something to do with the 5 senses. We already have audio and video.
I think staff doesn't realize that all they have to do to make this website profitable is stop changing the UI, leave tumblr as it used to be and ask people to donate to maintain the server it runs on. Ao3 gets double and triple their donation goals because we are dedicated to keep it alive and it would be the same with tumblr. The first step is to accept that we hate change and none of us are leaving. Let us reblog our little images and stop trying to turn this website into a cash grab. This website is full of little freaks with disorders, we are not profitable but we are loyal. Let us have one place where we feel at home.

This one is technically not yet history, because at the time of posting, the little craft has about half an hour left to go. That said, let’s proceed.
In 2017, NASA’s Cassini space probe ended its twenty-year mission at Saturn. After a nearly-seven-year-long journey there, it orbited the ringed planet for 13 years and just over two months, gathering copious amounts of information about the planet, said rings, and many of its moons. It landed an ESA probe called Huygens on Titan, the first-ever soft landing in the outer Solar System. It discovered lakes, seas, and rivers of methane on Titan, geysers of water erupting from Enceladus (and passed within 50 miles of that moon’s surface), and found gigantic, raging hurricanes at both of Saturn’s poles.
And the images it returned are beautiful enough to make you weep.
On this day in 2017, with the fuel for Cassini’s directional thrusters running low, the probe was de-orbited into the Saturnian atmosphere to prevent any possibility of any contamination of possible biotic environments on Titan or Enceladus. The remaining thruster fuel was used to keep the radio dish pointed towards Earth so the probe could transmit information about the upper atmosphere of Saturn while it was burning up due to atmospheric friction.
This is us at our best. We spent no small amount of money on a nuclear-powered robot, launched into space, sent it a billion miles away, and worked with it for two decades just to learn about another planet. And when the repeatedly-extended missions were through, we made the little craft sacrifice itself like a samurai, performing its duty as long as it could while it became a shooting star in the Saturnian sky.

tumblr is full of phrases that we are all so desensitized to that they're just normal, but if you say it to a person in real life its so funny to them its a one-hit insta kill
This reminds me of Gildedguy, really speaks to the quality at play here.
