We are currently "wrestling with the work" on the next Alexander installment.There's usually a time in each show where the creative elements start resembling a Rubic's Cube and the many ways they can be assembled and put together becomes both an addiction and a curse.

Having a debate about whether AI is infallible or not, and I gratefully drop this truth bomb
Welcome to the First World War. Just look at the devastation. Now remember that this area also is poisoned with chemical munitions included in the bombardments. That war had its own particular set of horrors associated with it. Awful.
Exhausted stretcher bearers from the 3rd Australian Division rest amid a scene of devastation in the mud and drizzle of Broodseinde Ridge, during the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele), 11 October 1917.
Working on it! (Do I sound like the Game of Thrones author when I say that?😂)
Just released a Hardcore History Addendum with the son of U.S. Marine (and author) Eugene Sledge. Sledge wrote one of the best combat memoirs from the American side of the Second World War. His son has written the definitive follow up! It's a great talk. dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/t…
Also, reminder that I'm doing some Live events in the South this August (because you asked!). Here are the dates and locales (and places to get tix) if you're interested dancarlin.com/#upcoming-even… Also doing Portland Oregon again in Sept (tix here: etix.com/ticket/p/94357… )
As one historian noted: the 1914 battlefield would be familiar to a general of the Napoleonic wars, the 1918 battlefield would be familiar to a general of the Gulf War, but to a general in 1914, the 1918 battlefield would be wholly unfamiliar. Anyway, for 1914, let me suggest: 😉
The look of troops between 1939-1945 compared to the transformation between 1914-1918 may have no historical peer.Assuming that photo is from 1914 these are from about 3 years later: The scope and pace of the technological leap forward between 1914-1918 is literally disorienting.
A group of Hungarian Hussars pose for a photo in the streets of Budapest. While incredibly impractical for modern war, the Austro-Hungarian cavalry sure did have some absolutely gorgeous uniforms!
Only someone with no sense of propriety reposts his own stuff...
"To me, trying to focus on the human toll of the less sexy (is THAT even a thing?) mundane side of a conflict provides a more stark example of just what the term "wastage" implies: Look at all the dead people. On all sides. Look at all that human potential that was wasted. The…
This started out as a June 6, 1944 social media post that got insanely out of hand. So I published it on our Substack page instead. I'd say "enjoy", but it really ain't that kind of piece. dancarlin.substack.com/p/the-real-war…
With Marc Maron announcing that he going to wind down his podcast (started in 2009) another old school podcast leaves the scene. The number of folk left is beginning to get very small. I don't blame him though. It's hard to keep doing creative stuff forever and keep it fresh and…
