Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 14hWe talking make a difference as in box office or cultural impact? 100
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 10/10/2026There was a world where he actually might have gotten one for the Covid vaccines and operation Warp Speed! Instead he let himself and his admin get captured by the anti vaccine movement. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026@davechen.bsky.social I am not here to shame, but simply to emplore you - millennial to millennial - you have to watch Band of Brothers ASAP, it’s incredible. HBO also released a retrospective doc, so this is the perfect time to watch it for the first time. youtu.be/IjLg0X59fMA?...youtu.beBand of Brothers: Legacy Trailer | HBO MaxYouTube video by HBO Max 011
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A big part of this would be passing a law capping interest rates on student loans at like 1-2%. 010
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I understand why, but i am 100% serious that Bluey should be on this list somewhere. Especially over these single season callouts. Incredibly beautiful and nuanced storytelling with major payoffs in the final episodes. 070
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026You’d think there’s gotta be someone in the administration willing to follow the political incentives and rhetorically shank the guy to separate themselves from the administration, but we would have said the same thing after J6… 040
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026IMO “Authenticity” and “Enshittification” are the two most important words in politics over the next few years. I’m glad to see you encouraging candidates to speak authentically. 011
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Looks more like the bad guy from RoboCop falling out of the window. 100
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Streaming will always be better than cable because of how easy it is to cancel and because of how you can bring your content with you when you travel. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I have still never played it but always wanted to. Is the Steam Frame now the best way to experience this game in 2026? 100
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My wife and I both currently drive Chevys, and we like them, but GM was off the list for our next cars without CarPlay. I am glad to see them reverse course on this. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Brazen partisanship, and the only thing worse is the folks who continue to claim otherwise. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Definitely a make good win, especially after a season of TV that felt so narratively incomplete (I still loved Pluribus) 010
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Open world = unpolished or never coming out. Make Great Linear Shooters Again!! 010
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This is the key point. People hate on Jar Jar but the entire gugnan species was poorly designed. And I am generally an apologist for that movie. 021
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 10/09/2026As a fellow parent, I highly recommend something like this product a.co/d/0bS0F55S Way better, and more controlled than than the spray.a.coAmazon.com 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yes! I LOATHE the sprays. This would get everyone crying about the nanny state but spray sunscreen should be straight up illegal. 010
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I’ve been saying this to people in my life for a couple years now. The two most important words in politics are (IMO) Authenticity and Enshitification. The first is the baseline for voters to take you seriously, and the second is the secret to unlocking why everything in society feels worse. 031
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 28/08/2026THE STRAW GOES IN FACING LEFT. IF YOU PUT IN THE STRAW FACING TO THE RIGHT THE JUICE BOX RUINED AND I HATE IT!! 020

Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 23/08/2026The show does these world history recaps when it time jumps that you would all find especially juicy. Even subtle things like how tech would advance faster if the space race kept going are fun details that I think most people won’t notice. (keep an eye on the tech and what year it is in the show) 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 23/08/2026@kcarterjackson.bsky.social @pastpunditry.bsky.social @jodyavirgan.com @thisdaypod.com Im about a week behind in my podcasts queue but you guys HAVE to watch For All Mankind, especially as historians!! It’s an alternate history show so much of the fun is seeing how they adopt/change real history. 200
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 17/08/2026As someone who grew up in CT, I always felt like the Sox Yanks DMZ would be drawn starting in New Haven and extend north, north-west through Torrington. Im glad to see that the data mostly supports this! But it looks like the Yanks Fandom goes further east along the coast than I thought 😔 (Go Sox) 020
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Our neighborhood grocery store in CT (S/O Big Y) has a bag of 25 chicken nuggets for $5 that are as good as anything you’d get at any fast food chain. It’s the ultimate “kids eat while you shop” item. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 10/08/2026@dmc-ryan.bsky.social I just caught up on last weeks Unlocked and I once again put forward my proposal for how Xbox should handle physical media. The key to keeping costs down is printing on-demand (with a communicated delivery delay) which prevents them from having to hold excess inventory. 020
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Still my main pair of travel headphones. I’m sure there’s some feature on newer models that I would enjoy but these still work well enough that I see no reason to upgrade. 010
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 06/08/2026If RCV with open primaries isn’t a central part of his platform, then it isn’t a serious 3rd party effort. 010
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Have you done Slow Horses yet? It’s my go to recommendation since it’s on Apple meaning many people have never heard of it 😭 0171
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Why is growth being prioritized over profitability? Let's get back into the black before worrying about growth! 120
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 29/07/2026It needs to be a mainstream D opinion or we will never fix what Rs have broken. 040
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 29/07/2026So frustrating that the ratings of online randos gets taken more seriously than what actual R pols say every day, but if "end the filibuster" isn't a mainstream Dem position we will literally never be able to fix everything that Rs have broken. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I love the idea of PR, but how would the actual persons filling those seats be selected? Are they ranked in a state party primary or something then those selected in that order would be seated depending on how many seats the party won during the general? 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 20/07/2026A formative "painful because it ends on a cliff hanger" experience. 170
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I get Toyota leveraging their existing strengths to make a Hybrid, and it’s been a success for them! But without some sort of hybrid or PHEV option to differentiate, Honda is just letting the Odyssey languish. 100
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Making the wrong choice though ☹️ wed be way better off with permanent standard time or just remove all time zone entirely, but most people aren't ready to have that conversation! 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Sure. Every issue is important, but when making the argument against these data centers, why not appeal to as broad an audience as possible by arguing for things people feel strongly about? These two talking points are related so politicians should connect them. 000
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I continue to content that D pols would also do well to tie these data centers to the component crisis. The price of RAM is a political opportunity! The reason you can't afford an Xbox/PS to play GTA6 is literally because of data centers. A message that will resonate with young male voters IMO! 2121
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 11/07/2026That's not the problem though, Killing a major character off screen always stinks. I understand that his passing was emotional but letting real world circumstances impact the storytelling is a mistake. Disney is way too precious about recasting characters and IMO the narrative suffers because of it 120
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 11/07/2026You are close, but IMO Disney killed the MCU when they chose not to recast Black Panther after Chadwick passed. The narrative is worse without that character acting as an anchor and leader. They made the same mistake in Star Wars by not recasting Luke. Their insistence on original actors is weird! 120
Rob Federici @bigrobfed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I respectfully disagree with your assessment that what MS should be in gaming is a multi platform publisher. IMO the best move for the Xbox platform and for MS is to open up the platform to OEMS - not Windows, but a true Xbox OS - and let others worry about the hardware and MS only makes the OS. 000
