    If you are in the United States, there is a good chance that you will suffer from a heat wave this summer. Cool down with Fayge and dive into the Little Ice Age and its many impacts on Europe.

    What Sewing Machines Teach Us About AI

    Dive into the surprisingly dramatic story of the invention of the sewing machine, if anyone can decide who did it first anyway. This story has it all: revolutions, bonfires, poorly managed paperwork, patent theft... and it all relates to Artificial Intelligence (AI), no, really. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.DListersofHistory.com D Listers of History on Substack D Listers of History on Threads D Listers of History on TikTok D Listers of History on Instagram Support us on Patreon!

    [Sidebar] Fast and Furious: Presidential Edition

    Former President Trump is the first President to be incited in a criminal court, but he is far from the first President to break the law. There is one story of another President ending up on the wrong side of the law, but how it was handled and remembered is very different.

    Making the GOP a Little More Gay

    "Gay" and "Republican" might seem like identities that don't really go together, but to the Log Cabin Republicans, that is exactly who they are. The origins of the Log Cabin Republicans, though, are about as far from what you are probably imagining as you can get. Reverend Raymond Broshears worked tirelessly for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, the elderly, and sex workers in San Francisco. He was also the progenitor of the Log Cabin Republicans. Buckle up because this one is a wild ride. A huge thank you to Sam from Labor Jawn for joining me last minute! You can check them out wherever you get your podcasts.

    [Sidebar] The Canned Heat Wave of 1963

    There is quite a bit of disagreement regarding how to handle the results of our modern opioid epidemic. In Philadelphia, Mayor Cherelle Parker, amidst heavy criticism, "cleaned up" one of the largest encampments where people lived and used out in the open. This is not Philadelphia's first brush with a neighborhood overwhelmed by addiction. In 1963, 31 people mysteriously died all over Philadelphia's Skid Row neighborhood. You might find what and who was at fault surprising.

    It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me

    The Chevalier d'Eon is one of those historical figures who pop up now and again, mostly because no one knows what to do with them. Were they a trans woman? A man masquerading as a woman for political reasons? Outside of salacious curiosity about their sex and gender, do they actually matter?This week, Fayge and Mazal dive into d'Eon's life to explore how we talk about queer historical figures respectfully. D'Eon was also just a wild individual outside of any questions of gender.Further Reading:The Chevalier d'Eon and His Worlds—This book is a compilation of papers by experts in various fields, each trying to untangle d'Eon's story in their own way. Some of these papers are rather old and, as such, contain outdated language for transgender people. There are a few other books on d'Eon, but I found the variety of opinions helpful in better understanding the debates surrounding them.
