[2024.11.16-02] Bobby wants to write for
The Onion.

It will end in tears.
"Comedy writer", LOL! One of the few legitimately funny things Moviebob has ever written is "I am smarter than..." And now comes the part where we throw our heads back in laughter. Ready?
[2024.11.16-03b] On BlueSky as on Twitter, Bobby's acquaintances are more interested in fiction than in real life; indeed they might not have the brains to tell the two apart.
Moviebob: "...I at least know not to be a Nazi."
Except...

That's Nazism multiplied by more than ten!
[2024.11.16-04] Why isn't real life be more like my children books?
Comedian George Carlin said "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of them are stupider than that". Moviebob resides permanently in the latter half of that statement.

Narcissist? Moviebob qualifies.
Sociopath? Moviebob
definitely qualifies.
Zero connection to politics? Moviebob qualifies.
Zero connection to public service? Moviebob qualifies.
If only Hayes had brought up "zero connection to the truths presented reality", and Moviebob would have been 5-for-5 with a slugging averate of 2.200.
(For those who aren't into baseball, "slugging average" refers to a batter's ratio of total bases reached versus his total number of at-bats, the numer of times a batter hits a ball into play without the any of the nine defensemen committing any fielding errors. A slugging average of 1.000 means the batter reaches as many bases as he has at-bats, even if he doesn't reach base every time; a 4.000 average means he hits nothing but home runs. Moviebob's estimated 2.200 slugging average above refers to "single, home run, single, single, home run"--11 divided by 5.)
Why do these people insist that Trump is a sociopath? He is narcissistic no question...
Correct.
I can't refute that.
...but he is not more of a sociopath than any political animal...
Unlike Sociopath Queen Hillary.
[2024.11.16-08] Populism is poison.
SO says Moviebob, the cruel, selfish, and stupid.
[2024.11.16-09] Trump indeed made Jr the head of Department of Health and Human Services. Both sides of the political divide are unhappy...
As the saying goes (this isn't verbatim): "If you're a politician whose actions are pissing of those on both sides of the aisle, you're doing someting right."
...and I'm less than thrilled too.
I think RFK means well, but I'm withholding comment until the story develops further.
Tsk, tsk. Moviebob might actually have to marinate chicken with actual fruits instead of Mountain Dew for a change.
[2024.11.16-13]
People who are addicted to social media are, regardless of platform, imbibing panic and despair on a daily basis.
I'm probably guilty of that as well.
Up until a couple years ago, Moviebob has a huge fan of Brianna Wu. Then Brianna took the red pill, woke up to reality, and Wu was shunned his/her personhood for not fully comporting to the Moviebobocracy.
