I wish I knew. Sometimes I feel like it's an act of trying to do SOMETHING positive. But I realize that effectiveness should probably a consideration too.

Sorry man. Been on the other platform arguing with the people over there. It's depressing as hell.

It's insane.

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.

(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.

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".

Thanks so much for listening.

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.
