Hello!
I hope you are all doing splendidly, and that tonight’s News Burst finds you well.
First and foremost, if you missed the note I shot through last night -- which was affixed to the audio version of Episode 42 here on Patreon -- I posted this week’s News Burst today (Thursday) instead of when it usually goes live (Wednesday) because I didn’t want to have any overlap with this week’s only video.
Secondly, thank you all so much for the kind feedback on the first episode ...

Hey All,
Today, I went to the beach. As I lay on the sand shoving a pepper turkey sandwich into my mouth (seriously), I suddenly recalled that tonight marks the end of August. And that means that a final verdict needs to be rendered not only in this month's Topic Election (have you voted yet, $2+/month subscribers?), but also in the question of a possible podcast. Will it or won't it happen?
The goal was to reach 5,000 subscribers here on Patreon by the end of the month. During the...

Hey All,
I hope you’re all doing exceptionally well today. As for me? Well, I’ve been keeping busy, of course. Much to do in CLS Land, as always. Quick reminder: Make sure to vote in the Topic Election for August if you haven't already. The poll will end about 24 hours after this News Burst posts, and every vote counts!
In addition, I have some exciting news to share, if you didn’t catch my Tweet this morning. I’ve gotten a look at the upcoming CLS merch -- which will be availabl...

Hey!
The attached video is a brief, five minute update on what's going on here on Patreon, specifically in regard to the "podcast idea" I announced a few weeks ago. I wanted to discuss how close (or far) we are from the podcast becoming a reality, and to let you know what the schedule will be for content moving forward, should the podcast become a reality (whether temporarily or permanently).
Will the podcast happen? That's entirely up to all of you! But of course, whether or not y...

Hey Everyone!
I hope this week’s News Burst finds you all very well.
There’s little to report on my end, other than that tomorrow’s video is a natural continuation (in some sense) of Episode 38 (Monday’s video), which is going down as the least-viewed video in Colin’s Last Stand’s history. Way to pick a good topic, guys! ^_~
Speaking of which, make sure to vote in this month’s Topic Election, if you haven’t already. Every vote counts! I think our monthly elections...

Hey Team,
I hope you’re all doing great! I just finished tomorrow’s (well, today’s, depending on when you’re seeing this) video, which is a sort of continuation -- more of a spin-off, really -- of Monday’s video about Charlottesville. This one is far more historical, though, and I hope you like it. It’s uploading as we speak. (Or, as I write.)
In anycase, there’s little else to report, other than that I’m going to be announcing the five winners of the $2+/month Topic Prim...

Hey All,
How’s life? Well, I hope!
So, the verdict is in. Earlier this week, I asked you guys and gals to tell me if I should keep News Bursts to twice a week, or make one, meatier post each week. The written feedback was valuable, but inconclusive, so I posted a poll, and asked the same question. 485 of you voted in it, and One Meaty News Burst A Week beat out Two Smaller News Bursts A Week, 53% to 47%. Six points is actually a pretty big spread, but I still think that’s a close ca...

Hey All,
It's not everyday I'll recommend to you a piece of fiction that's not somehow related to actual history or politics. I love many types of fiction, of course, but when it comes to CLS, I try to stay on-topic.
The thing about Hulu's A Handmaid's Tale, though, is that it straddles the line. It's a show that takes place in a fictional near-future of the United States, and it's so highly political and charged with that variety of intrigue, that I think a lot of you guys and gal...

Hey All,
I had intended on rolling out a real News Burst today (we could sure use one) in the "style" we collectively settled on in my previous post from a few days ago. But in thoroughly reading through your feedback, I feel like it's unclear which move I should make.
Should I go to once a week, with a more meaty update? Or should I stick with the smaller, twice-a-week updates as they are now? Maybe it was stupid, but I thought there'd be more of a consensus one way or the other. ...

Hey All,
I wanted to gauge your feelings on a change I've been thinking about making for a little while, now. The change in question? Making the News Burst one very robust post a week, as opposed to the two smaller posts it stands at now.
The reasons for this proposed change are twofold: Firstly, traffic on News Bursts indicates there's no reason to do so many of them, and secondly, I'm trying to make a more concise schedule for myself, and for the rollout of extraneous non-video c...
