Me too. Would it ever reach critical mass number of users though?😂

To be honest it's a demographic I didn't realize we produced en masse anymore.I was very wrong about that. But I remember a Croatian man (from Yugoslavia) explaining to me how demagogues can reignite ethnic (etc)fires that had cooled.Doesn't take much to rekindle hate.
We are an interesting species.

It's not popular anywhere actually😂

Thanks so much for listening!

Listen, I realize I post on Twitter (not feeling any need to use the newer name) about politics and I really don't do much of that here. But the things I'm saying, most people on this app don't need to hear.

Twitter on the other hand...

(do you think bots can learn?😂)

The danger is in repeating the tit-for-tat retribution cycle that toppled Rome's Republic.

The dilemma is how to punish constitutional transgressions without feeding into that cycle and making it ever more murderous and destructive.

We Are Witnessing the Imperial Presidency on Steroids Donald Trump has accumulated an amount of power in the executive branch that would appall America's founding fathers.

So of course I screwed up the announcement post for the new Hardcore History by not including g the art of Erich Sayers that goes with the show.
So...here it is now

Hi all. I know it's been a long time. Sorry for the wait. Hope it's halfway decent.

"Happy Hardcore History Day".

But, but , but...apologizing at this point is part of my brand😂.

Thanks so much for listening.

I know it's not what you're waiting for. But here's an absolutely fascinating conversation with a nuclear history expert about Harry Truman and a completely new way to look at his role in the dropping of the atomic bombs.

Well, common sense sure is rarer these days. That's for sure.

Ok, new Common Sense just released. It's timely and pithy and hopefully you think it worth your time (and mine).
We called it: "Who's the Boss?"

We will release a new Common Sense show sometime in the next few hours about the illegal order question and the "treason" statements by the President currently in the headlines. It'll be a pithy one. After all, I've got Alexander the Great stuff to work on...

Actively striking it.

I think it's lovely that you believe that I even remember what I said😂
I would probably look at the list and go "I cited that?!"😂
I appreciate so much that you came out to the event. I hope you thought it was worth it. Thank you!

Thank you all so much for coming out last night and talking with me Portland! You guys are the best.

Six days until (what I think is) the last live event I'm doing in 2025. Join me if you're in the Portland, Oregon area on the evening of September 12th!

That's true.

So, my last scheduled live event for 2025 is in my home away (but not too far)from home Portland, Oregon.
The last one we did there sold out...hope we do that again! If you want to go, we'd love to have you.

Just touched down in Houston. Looking forward to tonight's show!

Haha...yeah...I'm ready for October.😂

Thanks so much for coming!

Tonight ran about 100 minutes or so.

Thanks Austin! You were FANTASTIC! Great crowd, so enthusiastic.
Houston tomorrow night!

A few hours from showtime in Austin...looking forward to seeing you guys!

En Route to Austin for the show tomorrow night, then Houston on Saturday and (other than Portland in Sept,) I think that'll probably be it for the year. Hope to see you!
Tickets available from www.dancarlin.com

Robert, I'm gonna use your post as an opportunity to thank all the people who came out to the event. I can't always do the handshaking stuff...different venues,different rules...but I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate it.
It was a great night too.

Just got the word that Ben Wright of "the 15 Minute History podcast" will moderate our Aug 16th Houston show in addition to the Aug 15th Austin event. So for both shows I'd wager that means "WW1 is back on the menu boys!"
