Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Given the GOP control both houses, why can't they pay people the $5k now? Why do they want people to wait until after the midterms? Are they saying that they only reward you if you do as they say? Seems like something an abuser would do, no? 011
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 11/09/2026How stupid would you have to be to believe Trump would actually honour his promise to pay people $5k? It's not like the Doge or tariff refunds ever happened! 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 21/08/2026In case you thought Hanson was supporting workers... www.threads.com/share/BAZnaE...threads.comWA Labor (@walabor) on ThreadsWhat’s she got against hard working Aussies? 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 06/08/2026It truly amazes me that people can claim that gays are pushing their lifestyle in their face. I don't see gay people going door to door handing out books about how to be gay! I don't have gay people inviting me to a building where they talk about being gay! Gay people exist. Get over it 020
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 31/07/2026If you start with the premise that everyone is equal, then it follows that no-one should be able to influence the courts just because of who they are and how much money they have. Why do we still allow character references in court cases? 230
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I've noticed some cars using the opposite indicator for turns. I assume this is some sort of adaptation error when going from having the stalk on the right to having it placed on the left. Thoughts? 000

Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 01/07/2026If you use your religion to punch down on the oppressed, then you're a POS! 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Dave Hughes has never been funny. He's just another whinger 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 26/06/2026You only have to look at the USA to realise that putting the dumbest most unqualified people in charge is not a good thing! 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Virtually every commercial property has a loan against it. This is why things are expensive, you're paying someone else's mortgage! 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Can we all agree that there should be an IQ and an ethics test to become the President of the USA? 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 16/06/2026So the people of the USA have each just given $1000 of their taxes to Iran as part of the deal after having spent $50billion bombing them. This is winning apparently 🤦 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 15/06/2026If you don't move far enough forward when approaching a traffic light, how do you expect it to register your presence? You have to be over the coils in the road! 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I won't be watching the FIFA world cup. Not supporting this regime or their puppets 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed by the preamble in most podcasts? Just get to the point! 030
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 27/05/2026A PSA for those in the USA. The Democrats would be considered right of centre in any other western democracy. They're still better than the alternative. Vote accordingly 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 27/05/2026The same people who respond to any criticism of Trump with "you have TDS" are the same people blaming Biden for inflation after Trump has been president for over a year! 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I've come to the conclusion that MAGATs are so stupid, they're thanking Trump for doubling the value of their car when they fill it up! 🤣 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 21/05/2026So the USA is charging Raul Castro for something the US did itself recently in the waters off Venezuela? Have I got that right? 020
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 12/05/2026There is no such thing as "free healthcare". It's "universal, single payer healthcare"! You still pay for it, but it covers everyone and costs 70% less! (Ref any other first world country than the USA) 110
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Do people realise that when you correct AI, you are training it? If you're a programmer and AI produces code that doesn't work, the act of telling the AI what was wrong with the code, is training it. So effectively you're training something that's going to make your job redundant. Food for thought 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Not sure if I've managed to block all the Qanon bots, but they've been very quiet recently 🤔 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 26/04/2026The only positive regarding the Epstein administration is that they're so incompetent no-one believes the assassination attempt was anything but a false flag operation! 100
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Is it just me or does anyone else just block accounts that try to hijack a discussion with anti-liberal (in the correct sense - ref Australia's "liberal" party) memes? 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 24/04/2026If the USA doesn't want refugees to enter the US claiming asylum, maybe they could stop starting wars that lead to situations where a lot of people flee and become refugees 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 24/04/2026The people/bots telling you both sides are the same are pushing the narrative that your vote doesn't matter and therefore you shouldn't vote for anyone (USA) This is how the Republicans win and how the USA got Trump! Vote, because your life depends on it! 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Just to re-iterate, data centres compete for resources in your local area. This competition drives up prices for power and water (not to mention graphics cards and memory for your new PC). This is one of the many reasons things are more expensive. All so you can generate fake videos and music! 🤦 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Trans people apparently want to join the most marginalised group in society to (checks notes) be able to access women's change rooms? What kind of deranged POS do you have to be to hold those views? 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Anti-abortion people are usually rabid Christian nationalists (US kind) and appear to have no problem with capital punishment (so it's not about killing) Jesus said nothing about abortion how do they justify their stance? The OT even tells you how to perform an abortion! 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 21/04/2026At this point, anyone who claims trump is doing the world a favour is getting blocked. You can't argue with stupid! 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Can we admit now that the experiment of giving the least competent people positions of power has been a complete failure? Soaring oil prices, world economic recession, a war and diseases that were thought defeated coming back are not indicators of success in any way, shape or form! 021
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 15/04/2026One of the best summaries of the arguments Trump supporters use to deflect from his crimes www.facebook.com/share/1Bp2PF...facebook.com 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 13/04/2026I don't want Trump assassinated because I want to see him perp-walked and thrown in jail. I want to see his family stripped of their ill-gotten assets and reduced to poverty. I want to see his legacy destroyed! 192
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I've come to the conclusion that many of the worst people in media and online participate in a belief system that includes angels and demons and a wrathful god. They want us to buy into their delusion! 🤦 (Ref Vance claiming UFOs are demons) 022
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 10/04/2026When companies build data centres, these compete for power and water in your local area. This drives up prices of those things. Increased competition for resources leads to higher prices for those resources! And all so you can use AI to generate fake music and videos 🤦 042
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I will never understand how people who call themselves Christians can follow a man who embodies the antithesis on what Christianity is supposed to be 030
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Who remembers the "peak oil" scare mongers? They predicted a world wide recession if oil production stopped. I guess it didn't pan out quite how their fantasies laid out due to renewables! 030
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I am comfortable with never speaking to my MAGA relatives and former friends again. Morality is non-negotiable and you've proved you have none 120
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Stop telling us sacking bad people will just result in someone worse being appointed. You're normalising people not being held accountable. This is how we got here in the first place! 🤦 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Before Trump was elected, we told you a second Trump term would be a disaster. There were many who told me that I was wrong and that Trump would be good for the economy because he is a businessman. How's that going for you now? 🤔 000
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 27/03/2026If it was hygiene and not vaccines that caused measles and other diseases to disappear, why didn't all the diseases disappear at the same time? 010
Rob Howson @thecrankybob.bsky.social · 24/03/2026As someone who needs MRIs from time to time, this concerns me greatly! 000
