Today's AMA on @askhistorians.bsky.social! Come check it out!
Fun fact: there was one (1) member of the mod team who once preferred using new rather than old Reddit, but even they have reluctantly embraced the old.reddit bandwagon with the coming of shreddit.
In Ghostbusters, Rick Moranis goes on an improvised monologue about a couple of his clients, Ted & Annette Fleming, and one of our users is asking the key question: Are Ted & Annette really doing okay? The fittingly named Daemonic_One tackles this fascinating question!

All jokes aside, DID people expect the Spanish Inquisition? Ummmbacon carefully details the historical context & how this popular Monty Python joke engages with the historical irony that the Spanish Inquisition was among the more anticipated institutional developments of its time!

AskHistorians, bringing you the very best in history! Connecting the public to the uni presses is an incredible resource to have acceess to, and its great to see how many on both sides take advantage of it!
the best history forum on the internet. because ... it's extremely well moderated to keep it appropriate and focused. That's the whole trick. I love it.
What is time, anyway.
This is specifically Dan's outreach push over the past 12 months - prior to his taking over this portfolio, we eagerly accepted people contacting us and sporadically reached out to people, but he has done an outstanding job of turning our haphazard inclinations into a well-oiled machine.
We're just better at keeping them under wraps.
10. Million. Views.
If our AMAs were a museum, it would have more visitors than the Louvre.
If you're a historian with a new book and a dream of more than a few dozen people ever reading it, @dhowlett1692.bsky.social is lowkey one of the best people on this website you can follow and be nice to.
As one of the university presses lucky enough to work with Dan on these: WE LOVE ASKHISTORIANS!
Our historians genuinely have a wonderful time doing it & the reach & depth of engagement is A+. Grateful to Dan & the @askhistorians.bsky.social team for helping great history find a big audience.
We would really, really like to highlight the scale of Dan's achievement here. We've always hosted some great AMAs, but Dan has been single-handedly responsible for a huge outreach campaign to authors and forging ongoing partnerships with scholarly presses.
This has been fun! Come check out the chatter about the suburbs!
Today's #AMA isn't the only great thing #Skystorians should check out. We also have a thread to vote on the BEST #History answer of February 2026! Come browse the nominations, and cast your vote to help decide.
