FYI, I just published Dangerous History Podcast Ep. 279, featuring a conversation with James Corbett of the Corbett Report about his recently published book, Reportage: Essays on the New World Order. https://fountain.fm/episode/ZrdbWEM0NEbLAbq6d81A

My best buddy Errol still loves hanging out with me every morning & evening.

To celebrate 4/20, I've reissued (for a limited time) Dangerous History Ep. 184, which is a talk I gave in 2019 - a live DHP Villains feature on Harry Anslinger, the man most responsible for the US government's war on cannabis. https://fountain.fm/episode/tfqTjBq99FKAYg3aPdrI

Happy REAL declaration of independence day! 250 years ago, on 4/19/1775, thousands of average Americans, acting on their own local initiative, confronted the Redcoats & declared their independence with blood & bullets. (The fancy powdered-wig guys in Philly would take almost 15 months to catch up & declare it with ink & parchment.) To commemorate, I've just reissued Dangerous History Ep. 59 (made a decade ago!), which is part II of my American Revolution series. https://fountain.fm/episode/4C1X6IZbwuLLGOqvEmqt

“There are twenty million Germans too many.” -French PM Georges Clemenceau, Dec.1918, on keeping the starvation blockade against Germany despite the armistice I just can’t imagine why the Germans would be spoiling for revenge a generation later. 🤷‍♂️

In case you missed it, yesterday I dropped a new DHP Woodrow Wilson episode. In this one, he makes the most important & worst decision of his life, a decision that’s still negatively impacting the US & much of the rest of the world to this day: getting the US into WW1.

I just dropped Dangerous History Podcast Ep. 278: DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson Pt.14 -- in this plus-sized episode, he gets us into war. Grab it while it's hot & fresh! https://fountain.fm/episode/mgrl1icfzaHmaHOU13LI

My art for the next DHP Wilson episode- should be out in next day or two!

Almost all of the next (XXL-sized) Woodrow Wilson episode of Dangerous History is recorded, & I've also edited a good chunk of what I've recorded so far. Fingers crossed that I'll be able to get it all done & published during the first half of the coming week. 🤞

“To whom does war bring prosperity? Not to the soldier who ... shoulders his musket and goes into the trench, there to shed his blood and to die if necessary; not to the brokenhearted widow who waits for the return of the mangled body of her husband; not to the mother who weeps at the death of her brave boy; not to the little children who shiver with cold; not to the babe who suffers from hunger; nor to the millions of mothers and daughters who carry broken hearts to their graves. War brings no prosperity to the great mass of common and patriotic citizens... War brings prosperity to the stock gambler on Wall Street--to those who are already in possession of more wealth than can be realized or enjoyed." -Sen. George Norris (R-NE), speaking against the US getting into WWI, Apr. 4th, 1917

In honor of the recent reversion in most of the US back to The Devil's Time (so-called "Daylight Savings"), I reissued DHP Ep. 198, "Fµ©!≤ Daylight Savings!" (from all the way back in 2020!), for a limited time on the public feed. Check it out! https://fountain.fm/episode/0sUVVQ5eXSZSUFnpvUev

In case anyone is wondering why the next Woodrow Wilson episode isn’t out yet, the answer is that I’ve been battling an eye infection that has made it very difficult to do things like read & work on my computer. I’ve been on antibiotics for a couple days now & hopefully in another couple days I’ll be doing a lot better. The fun never ends. 🤦‍♂️

Time for my semi-annual profession of faith: Bike Week sucks. See you in 6 months (Biketoberfest) for my next reaffirmation.

🤯🤯🤯 Super-extra hard at work today on DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson part 14!

Check out my latest DHP episode - a conversation with Alex Von Sternberg of History Impossible, who lives in the LA area & recently put out an episode about natural disasters & their significant-but-oft-overlooked social & political effects. https://fountain.fm/episode/wfIcA42JHQCJfxVlWdMs

Today marks two years that I’ve kept the 🥃 🐒 off my back.

I just published a new Dangerous History Podcast episode, "Back in the USSA." https://fountain.fm/episode/McBok1jBR3MVQU4aiLB0

First time running in a few weeks due to illness & injury, but I banged out 4 miles nonstop including going over a big steep bridge & back. 💪

I just published a new Archetopical episode: “A Book of Job Survival Manual.” Check it out here: https://fountain.fm/episode/hRZaH0iBNc87iBPvMpeY

Still the best emotional support rabbit ever.
