Bob G. @bobg.whizbang.me · 09/02/2026Neat! Apparently I'm a "Progressive American Democrat," not to be confused with an "American Progressive Democrat." 210 2
Bob G. @bobg.whizbang.me · 06/02/2026In the 1978 film, when Clark Kent needs to become Superman for the first time, he pauses briefly at a modern unenclosed phone booth - then new - before finding another place to change unobserved. It got a big laugh from audiences at the time! Do today's audiences even understand that moment? 310 3

Bob G. @bobg.whizbang.me · 09/10/2025We've all heard, and many of us have repeated, "The cruelty is the point." But why? Aren't people basically decent? Yes, but so was Col. Kurtz. Confronted with enough horror, he snapped, believing the only way to cope was to embrace horror himself. I think this explains a lot of today's GOP. 010 1
