weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 12/10/2026"Trumpism Without Trump" (DeSantis, Christie) has a very poor popular and electoral track record. 050
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yeah, it buys you credibility for your future slop - "Huh, even Credential Moderate David Brooks is saying the Dems are going to far" 1170
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026His sniveling, shitty mediocrity and his willingness to abase himself to power really resonates on a personal level with the people who make our elite media/courtier class. 020

weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They are so fucking angry that Schumer and Jeffries and the Dem "Establishment" are going to celebrate a triumph instead of getting themselves run out of town. 070
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Did you know: the suckity-suck Democrats totally suck? Be sure to subscribe to independent media like Defector for hot fresh insights like this that you can't get anywhere else. 080
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Every accusation is a confession. 0120
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"Prop 187, but national" is in play. 180
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There is a considerable distance between Trump saying his superPAC will pay for those ads, and Trump's superPAC actually paying for those ads. I'll bet a followup three weeks from now would show $0 transferred from the PAC to the US Government. 0170
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Just wait until the memories of the nuclear terror during the Cold War fade out of living memory. 140

weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 02/10/2026They just stumbled across Yanick Etienne, the Haitian singer with the ethereal voice, in the studio next to them, and invited her to contribute on the title track. The music video (directed by Ridley Scott!) features a heart-meltingly beautiful Sophie Ward. 010
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The very definition of "socially liberal, fiscally conservative". 010
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 02/10/2026As a wise, ancient sage once said - they don't want wield power, they want to endlessly critique power. 010
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 02/10/2026We may actually get that legendary "electricity too cheap to meter" they used to say about nuclear power, and soon - it turns out the trick is just to make use of the big unshielded natural nuclear reactor in the sky. 090
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Medical stuff is moving fast (whole new classes of vaccines, GLP-1 drugs looking like literal miracle pills, etc.) but the real hope is found in the energy sector, where PV solar and metal-ion batteries keep undergoing double-digit percent cost drops, year after year after year. 1100
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Struggle session, but it's JCO being forced to sit through me walking her through all the Horus Heresy novels in chronological order. 0161
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yeah. There's a point at which the gerrymander flips and becomes a dummymander, and we may be at it. Having all that Republican effort to rig the maps blow up in their faces the first time they are used would be so, so satisfying. 010
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 29/09/2026They actually did a Batman comic where it's pointed out (by the Joker!) that Batman's vigilante war on crime causes far more damage and problems than it solves (BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT). Sold well enough to get a bunch of sequels. 120
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Bruce Wayne literally funds a free medical clinic on the block in the slum where his parents were killed; the doctor running it is an important supporting character. 090
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That poll was take before people found out about that factory being built in Ohio, though. 130
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Chargers, for all the reasons other people have mentioned, but mostly because their disco-era "Super Chargers" fight song is a perfect parallel to "Meet The Mets". 040
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Why waste your time actually learning things when you can use your giant space brain to figure them all out yourself by rationally extrapolating from First Principles? 020
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Love to be an underfunded organization whose repsonse to every public issue is to suggest that increasing funding to my organization is the best way to address that issue. 0102
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The key problem is that most of a university's big-money alumni came up through the frat system, and any effort by administrations to crack down on them is met by a donor rebellion. So we end up with this ridiculous kayfabe where everybody pretends to be shocked by all the hazing and rape. 0324
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The number one song of 1969 was "Sugar, Sugar"! The number one song of 1968 was "Hey Jude", but the next two were syrupy gloop masterpieces "Love is Blue" and "Honey". Even in the glorious The Sixties, when Music Meant Something, crap still ruled the charts. 090
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 27/09/2026They should play "It Is Accomplished" at the end of every graduation and award ceremony. 021
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The dread hand of the Dummymander casts its fearful shadow over a bunch of nominally "safe" red-district Republicans 0240
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Needs to mix in a “HR ladies” to activate the multiball and 2x scoring. 090
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 25/09/2026IME they take the charity/golden rule parts of Christianity somewhat seriously, which puts them increasingly at odds with the dominant FYGM Prosperity Gospel greedhead form that dominates the Republican Party. 070
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The final chapter of his 2014 memoir was full of kvetching about political correctness and cancel culture; the road from there to here is pretty easily understood. 010
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The fact that there is no solution, nothing they can do, no way off of this ride they bought the ticket for, is the best part. And they know it, too. That bit about Trump hitting the trail and turning things around is such pathetic cope, LMAO. 0140
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 23/09/2026That's also a common interpretation of Children Of Men. 2230

weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I have 53 (Dems take 10 of the 12 "in play" seats) but if trends continue they could easily take all 55 and maybe start picking off genuinely safe R seats. We should also start seeing a collapse in R enthusiasm and turnout, as the headlines and poll reporting gets worse and worse for them. 000
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This version was one of their "no new features, just tweaks and bug fixes and fine tuning and cleaning up code" editions. They're usually remembered quite warmly in retrospect. 110
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Geraldine Ferraro was the Representative from Queens ("Archie Bunker's district") and she was associated with "Neighborhood Preservation" (aggressive resistance to housing anti-discrimination laws, i.e. white backlash against POC moving in). Rode that all the way to a VP nomination in 1984. 090
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026We're going to run the fucking table, drink their tears, and laugh at their pathetic cope. It's gonna own. 010
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Yeah. I always thought that was the fundamental issue with the prequels - there was nobody on screen to roll their eyes when the exposition and nonsense threatened to overwhelm everything. 0170
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Kenobi is low-key the actual villain of the movie. 020
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Rule #1 of deleted scenes: They were deleted for a reason, usually a good one. 141
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Literally a Simpsons bit from the episode where Lisa goes vegetarian - Homer refuses to believe that bacon, ham, and pork chops come from the same animal. "Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal." 040
weirdlittledude.bsky.social @weirdlittledude.bsky.social · 19/09/2026A key through-line of the prequels is "The Jedi were blinkered chumps who got exactly what they deserved" 1161
