If I can ask you sweet people for 3 minutes of your time, please listen to this insanely beautiful version of the classic WWII partisan song 'Bella Ciao' arranged by the great @ulisesbella and sung by my daughter. Please 'like' and 'subscribe.' #25aprile youtube.com/watch?v=MISZDP…

@xMustang93x much appreciated!

Just finished this episode. Well done as always! Great content!

@xMustang93x @martyrmade thank you!

@DBolelli @martyrmade I'm subscribing to your Patreon... we've been meaning to forever. My husband and I listen to all your episodes 😎🧐

@martyrmade @DBolelli I'm out of podcasts 🤔🧐

New History on Fire episode available everywhere. This story has everything: from piracy to bloody rebellions to former US presidents arguing in front of the Supreme Court for the freedom of a group of Africans.

@blaccoutttt yup. Made a bunch of other good ones. Check them out historyonfirepodcast.com/archive

@DBolelli Wait are you the history guy? I think i listened to your podcast on Theodore Roosevelt. Ive been obsessed with him ever since.

I don't know who needs to hear it, but if you punch someone in a street altercation, there's always the chance you'll KO them, they'll fall backward and crack their skulls. And now you have to start praying you didn't kill them. 1/2

On the other hand, a knee to the balls will keep them conscious and just fold them forward. In this way, you eliminate the chances you'll kill them by accident. This PSA is brought to you by #Ispendtoomuchtimethinkingabouthittingpeopleintheballs 2/2

The last time someone invited me to a wedding, I apologized that I couldn't make the date, but promised I'd make their next wedding. They were not amused.

@bohumilo I think the writing was on the wall when he participated in his own humiliation ritual downing in front of cameras fast food at Trump's urging after condemning fast food in every possible way. This is just the policy version of the same process

Or maybe he just learned new facts, saw the wider picture, came to understand the other side of the cost–benefit analysis for pesticides, and had enough intellectual honesty to leave behind his previous (ideology-driven) identity and follow the data. How are you discriminating between different explanations? What is “Daniele’s razor”?

Political power is like the Ring. Stay close to it long enough and you turn into Gollum. That's my explanation for how someone ends up blatantly betraying their life work. 1/3 apnews.com/article/maha-g…

The other option is you never believed in what you said and lied all along, but I think the reality of power is psychologically darker than simply being a conman. 3/3

You make enough compromises to get into power that you no longer remember why you wanted it in the first place. Power becomes its own goal. You are now a hungry ghost craving power for power's sake, and you are ready to sell any principle you may have ever had. 2/3

Lifting weights and eating chocolate cake, because... you know... yin and yang

Three announcements about a new podcast I'll start (in addition to HOF), a musical debut, and an upcoming tour of Japan: substack.com/home/post/p-18…

@Ethans7 @drethelin @Lizquidity You don't. Competitive sports pretty much by definition wreck your body. Competitive martial arts even more so.

@drethelin @Lizquidity @DBolelli how do you retain your physical health while engaging in competitive martial arts? 📝

at the point in my life i booked a hotel room down the street for half a week because it has a jacuzzi i want to try to use to heal my neck before the martial arts tournament

Understanding the history of countries you are bombing may not be a bad idea historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/2025/… #Iran #IranWar

Someone sent me this pic with the caption "remember what you are fighting for". Fitting

If you are among the sweet folks supporting my work on Patreon or Substack, there's a new bonus episode waiting for you there. Mini-Episode 44: The Taoist King of Rome

I wish I had written these lyrics “Yes, im sort of ugly, Half broke and kinda Chubby But all the Indian girls love me Maybe its the way i sing And these pretty songs Or that i can keep'em dancingAll night long” youtube.com/watch?v=39i11j…
