I'm Bob. This is my semi-SFW feed of bad jokes, geeky observations, random weirdness, and politics. Center-to-further-left. Pretty darned gay. He/Him. 📍Portland, Oregon, United States

Did you know that if you are carrying TriMet's Hop card when you travel, you can ride Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Hop streetcar system for free?

Been going through old newspapers for a research project. Things were really hopping in Denver in the early 80's!

Notwithstanding my recent post about cynicism and despondency, I've recently been followed by a Japanese mascot which is pro trans-rights, @chiitan-usa.bsky.social‬, and I feel that is a worthwhile, positive life accomplishment.

My cynicism is only exceeded by my despondency.

Economics is oft-derided as the “Dismal Science”, but I feel that’s unfair. However, if you want to irritate someone you’ve just met when they state that they are an economist, just say, “Oooh, that’s exciting. What recent discoveries have you made?”

Dear composers of requiem masses: Please do not simultaneously implore upon the creator to grant the deceased “eternal rest” AND “perpetual light”. Some people are photosensitive and will need everlasting blackout curtains.

Kids and Lego?! What gave the producers this crazy idea? Lego is a serious design tool for adults. Everyone knows that. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to convince us that Modulex is not a toy.

Magats: It's stupid to think that human activity is changing the climate.
Also Magats: The floods in Texas were caused by weather manipulation tech used by the deep state.

I knew if I never stopped calling it “HBO” that my patience would be rewarded. Manifesting.

And yes, I know that Johnson would never allow it to come to the floor, but that's another way that such a resolution would prove the point about R's having fully embraced fascism.

If an aspiring Democratic representative wanted to make a name for themselves, they should introduce a resolution commemorating the 80th anniversary of Hitler's death, and see how many R's vote against it. (And Jeffries and other leadership would need to just stay out of the way and let it happen.)

And last Monday my tour for the documentary brought me to Ohio - where there's a large pipe organ in a private home...

The first shoot on the Midwest tour for my documentary project - from last Sunday in Detroit. (I'm way behind on social media - been putting in 12+hr days almost every day.)

I think I should make a large neon sign for my bedroom that says “Don’t Doomscroll. Go to sleep.” With a scrolling LED sign below, “Doomscroll in the morning, when you can actually do something about it.”

Score! I see these as an asset that can only appreciate in value. I'm going to be rich - just like the Dutch in 1636! Maybe I can sell a blockchain token. Should I buy more fridges? Hey, how long do eggs keep, anyway?
