Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 15hA-fucking-men. I guess my full throated agreement of this is why they never liked me or my label much. 110
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026He is the least stressed person because he's never had to fly coach on this own airline. I invite him, anytime, to sit next to me (6') in row 37E and tell me he is comfortable and stress free. 031
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The sort of thing I would do if I were a billionaire. Which, probably and sadly, is exactly why I am not a billionaire. 010
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Exactly. The low-info voters will be expecting the S.S. American Titanic to do an abrupt 180 turn in a matter of weeks. When it doesn't happen, they will turn on the Ds. Hell, they may not even wait until they actually take office. 120
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I know. In a way, it's disappointing. If I had thought about him and Hastert still being alive all those years, I could have been wishing upon them painful rectal sores and unreachable itchings. Seems like they got off easy by dribbling out of existence like they did. 030
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Forgot he was alive. I hope his final days were a non-stop horrorshow of psychic visitations from his victims. I hope he was whimpering, pleading for the mercy and empathy he denied others. 070
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Whelp, that's a wrap. The world is now so freaking upside down that I now find myself in the position of applauding something Don Henley is doing. 060

Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Just finished this interesting history of local, legendary loonies by fellow #michigannotableauthor #evelynsterne. Added bonus: considerable amounts of #baseball coverage. I guess a cult that embraces a solid game of pepper can't be all bad, right? #booksky📚 #writing #reading #michiganhistory 030

Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ah....more fire and piss and vinegar from my hard-chargin' Senator....way to rise to the moment Dick. 010
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As a Chicagoan, he may be the one "Democrat" that could lose the state of Illinois. He is despised that much. 140
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Good luck tomorrow, old buddy. My mother adored you and we wanted that 2012 World Series so badly before she passed. #detroittigers #baseball #detroitbaseball #justinverlander 050
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not holding my breath. They will use any whiff of "a blue wave" as a sign to keep on keeping on. 130

Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Looking at my list of "People I REALLY Look Forward to Never Hearing From Again One Day," obviously the Orange Mussolini is at the top, but this guy, well pass his "sell by" date, is in the Top 10. 010

Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 25/09/20261 of my fave things about watching #filmnoir movies from the 50s, is seeing unexpected appearances by people I came to know later via childhood TV. I mean, who knew that Darren's hapless boss Larry Tate on #bewitched played a lecherous scumbag in "Sweet Smell of Success" w/Tony Curtis? #oldmovies 240
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 24/09/2026They are probably easily spotted walking around downtown condo complexes or lakefront towers---there the ones with brown noses. 010
Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Happy 44th anniversary to this show in #detroit. No algorithm could have prepared me for what I walked into that night. There are a handful of shows I would love to re-experience in full sensory verisimilitude. This is one of them. #badbrains #negativeapproach #hardcoreflyers #punkhistory 050

Rob Miller @millerscave.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The people who adhere to the "Shut up and Play" ethos must have incredibly boring record collections. 141
