Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 15/10/2026"Bob's yer uncle" has to be my favourite. Especially when it's followed up by, "and Nellie's yer niece. And if Nellie had balls, she'd be yer uncle too." 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Utter the word "dolly", and I turn into a latter-day Carol Channing leading a revival of "Hello Dolly!". The immediate aftermath of Dolly Parton's passing was a difficult time for me. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Clue It is a perfect movie with an exceptional ensemble cast 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I would not. I would use it for nefarious purposes. and maybe pick up chicks. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Sweet zombie Jesus, but is your entire country broken? Holy actual fuck, 'Murica. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I have strange feelings. Feelings that I don't understand. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Testify. If anyone understood the assignment, it was Tommy. 0150
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026That's high praise from someone flying the White Tree of Gondor. 010
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Sun Chips. There's a bag in the pantry right now. You know there is; everybody has one. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Bread and circuses. With a healthy helping of gross cruelty. 'Merica, you're broken. 020
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026That's the joy of the thing. If nobody bothered to define the word, it can mean anything you want. Terrifying foreign threat? Socialism. Domestic strife? Socialism. Economic uncertainty? Definitely Socialism. Why limit it to a definition when they just need it to invoke fear? 110
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I hear that they can change flavours. How has nobody suggested Neutrino Slurpies in every 7-11? It'll be huge. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Of course she was right about everything. But the cult members still find ways to deflect or apologize for his blatant and many failings. For the record, Kamala was right too. 130
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Because a higher power out there somewhere loves us and wants us to be happy. Tasty, healthy food is a glorious thing. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026"Understood far less about rape"?!! Don't do that. Don't rape ANYBODY! EVER!! What needs to be explained? 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I LOVED my visit to the Museum. My family gifted me an Honour flight in the Harvard a few years ago. I still get chills thinking about it. 050
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Then you're winning. I've always said that I'm not competing with anybody but yesterday me. 030
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I can't say that I always behave like that ideal, but it IS what I aspire to. 120
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In my experience, if you have to tell people that you're an "alpha", you aren't. If you have to tell people that you're a good person, you're not. If you have to tell people that you're the manliest of men, well brother, you're just...not. 010
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 01/10/2026No. They committed and perpetuated extreme harm on Jane Doe. For 7 hrs. They stole her future. They don't get to walk away with their futures intact. When they show me how they can restore Jane's future to it's pre-rape potential, then we'll talk. I want to see them have consequences. Real ones. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Where are the 50 frat bros who were emailed about the rape in real time and did nothing? Just one phone call could have made such a difference, yet nobody spoke up. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The kids whose Dads worked at the local GM factory always had steelies. There was one kid who somehow acquired a steelie boulder (that's what we called the big ones around here). It had to be 1" in diameter and was unstoppable, as I recall. He ruled the playground with an iron fist. 010
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I second this! As the husband of a 25+ year PSW, I can personally attest to the appalling rate of verbal, physical and sexual assaults that my wife described over the course of her career. Her agency routinely dismissed her warnings and reports of incidents, acting only after the fact, if ever. 131
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'd highly recommend reading the book as well. It clarifies a lot of points in the movie for me. 220
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I second this. My wife is a big fan, but I always respected her as a great example of what we can all aspire to be. She had a beautiful smile, too. 020
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We don't really see that kind of traffic phenomenon here on the shoes of Lake Ontario. We just get slow moving traffic. 120
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Ah, yes. The single greatest consumer of 1969 Chargers ever conceived. 120
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Damn. That would make for a truly epic water cooler story the next day. 070
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Oh, yeah. I see that every day on my commute ;) Physics was just different in the 70's, I think 110
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I prefer to think of it as a sort of time capsule. Kinda like watching old Starsky and Hutch episodes for the old cars still in the wild. 180
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Can it really be considered the most powerful nation on Earth anymore? I have doubts. 000
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I love that movie. The computer graphics were so cool to me way back then. I think the modem is my favourite though; actually putting the handset from your rotary phone onto it. It was the height of high tech when I was a kid. 1220
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It seems that Anika is doing a great job drumming for Rush on their current tour. I still won't go and see them, as half of the draw was being in the same room as The Professor. I'm glad they are doing well, but it's just not for me. Upside? There's at least one girl at a Rush concert ;) 001
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I went to a real Fight Club once. I was late for the meeting so I didn't hear all of the rules, but man was it cool. We talk about it all the time! 020
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I introduced both of my sons to this movie when they were young. They still re-watch it as much as I do. My granddaughter? She won't bite. 010
Rob @swdstmaker.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I like to think of myself as a fully matured, confident and capable man. This movie still terrifies me. My wife had some very serious misgivings when she saw that our new home had a claw-foot tub. She had almost come around when I started banging on the sides of it one night. I'm a bad person. 130
