Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's funny to see Carlson try his brand of sophism on a guy who went to Eton/Oxford and spent a long time as MP. They are a very different breed than American politicians. Those dudes fucking love to debate! 0713
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There are some journalists I'd like to see here, but they're not mainstream clout sniffers. I'd like more of the Bloomberg folks more active here. 0131
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's why Hesgeth has been safe, despite being a hugely visible embarrassment and failure. Trump likes rapists. 1140
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That is Rebecca Black, the artist behind the hit song "Friday" 1192
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not only that - LeBron spent years of his life in fucking Cleveland. Philly is way cooler than Cleveland! (Cleveland seems fine, especially by Ohio standards) 030
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don't even think Smith obviously clocks as a Democrat! This is basically "Can you believe Smith actually tried to prosecute an insurrectionist who violated the law in front of the entire world?" You're right though - McCarthy (sort of) was pursuing a (contested) consensus position at the time. 010
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's pretty funny that most of the actual tradwife couples outside of religious cults are like, secular liberal stay-at-home moms in Fairfield County or New Jersey with husbands who work on Wall Street. 2100
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I am waiting for the inevitable AI booster bragging that the new frontier model will taste your food and fuck your wife for you. 060
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Trump really did just turn into George W. Bush, so here's hoping he can become persona non grata in the same way. 010
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The throughline for people who have maintained their intellectual bearings over the past decade is understanding the difference between People Who Are Annoying vs People Who Are Dangerous. 28519
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Very glad Newsom helped fast track the settlement. Looking forward to him shitting the bed in the primaries. 0110
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Had to get mine replaced for $3k. Fucking love homeownership. 020
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 20/09/2026People old enough to remember the Obamacare debate recall how fucking annoying the Senators from Nebraska, Arkansas and the Dakotas were. It is what it is. The Senate sucks. It structurally guarantees reactionaries are overrepresented. 1244
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Next, I want them to try a 400 against Femke Bol where she smokes them going at like 70 percent and the rest of them have rigor mortis from lactic acid. 061
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Hegseth and Kash really are the same Kind of Guy. 030
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 19/09/2026There is exactly one former professional athlete who is actually good at podcasting and unfortunately he is now the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. 020
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Rod Dreher created an entire baroque ideology centered around denying he's gay, so this is a man who barely understands himself, let alone other people. 0203

Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I don't think Dash and NYT upper management truly understand how many engaged center-left sickos *hate* them and consider them adversaries. 0650
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Bob Kraft knows all the best places to procure happy ending massages but apparently not about the Streisand effect. 0131
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Wow Donald Trump showing zero loyalty or appreciation for their support. Very out of character for him 050
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Israeli-Palestine is such an exasperating issue in large part because the loudest advocates on either side are quite bad at persuasion, which is like the point of advocacy. Everyone is addicted to acid-coating their otherwise reasonable points. 061
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 14/09/2026People get defensive when you call Southern white conservatives basically irredeemable but man...if they were merely as racially resentful as like your basic chud from the Midwest our politics would be way less insane. 182
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Bitchy, querulous, never lets a petty slight go unaddressed or forgotten, loves going on ridiculous tangents - anyone who hangs out on a microblogging site of any type would obviously get along best with Nixon. Guys who only follow woodworking channels on YouTube would probably vibe with Lincoln. 071
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's the 'noble savage but for rural Americans' thing over and over and over again with these people. It's genuinely embarrassing to watch. 060
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 13/09/2026One of the most unheralded but important lessons of our time 0122
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Led Zeppelin is probably the most properly rated band of all time, by which most people (even detractors, begrudgingly) will concede they were both Important and Fucking Awesome. 3161
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I think the average leftist dipshit is massively underrating how evil and/or ignorant the median white Texas voter is. It's fucking TEXAS. Let Talarico cook. 091
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Very noteworthy that she was willing to do this with someone like Dubya, who she most assuredly did not particularly respect and with Trump she was like "Nah, fuck that. I won't even pretend with that guy." 061
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I wonder why a Senate candidate in TEXAS isn't loudly talking like a trans activist on a niche microblogging site. 1202
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Not really a coincidence that the Anglosphere countries with the most cursed information environments basically let Murdoch run wild. 0161
Reposted by Obvious PseudonymCatherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi... 46179503378
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It's crazy how Heather Mac Donald's career is just taking Klan/Bircher-level gutter racism and (barely) trying to gussy it up with pseudo-clinical think tank gibberish. 090
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I'm not as sanguine about the racism/misogyny factor at the national level, either. I think you have to factor in at least 1-2 percent Electoral College penalty due to median voter idiots. White dude, or just 'a dude' is easier for some of their little gerbil brains to compute. 011
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 08/09/2026No one would ever teach someone how to write in the NYT headline style. Ever. It's so anti-clarity and the people who work there are smart enough to realize that, so that means the anti-clarity style is a deliberate choice. 050
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Non-stop gambling ads and nothing but Stephen A Shitbird and Pat McAsshole. Why would anyone watch this garbage. 010
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I think the 'address their material concerns to stem fascism' argument has been mostly disproved by now, but the UK and Germany having dogshit economies for 10-15 years certainly has not helped. 090
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 08/09/2026You also have to address costs because the public has largely figured out that the ROI on a degree given current tuition rates is utterly fucking bonkers. Biden's SAVE plan would have helped a lot. Maybe a new SCOTUS will allow this (completely legal!!) plan to actually be implemented. 000
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 07/09/2026In my day, "pheromone-maxxing," just meant - "Hey, don't slather on cologne or perfume. Just shower, use deodorant and you'll see if you dig the person's natural scent." 030
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Trump 2.0 as the Family Annihilator administration is pretty much the simplest way to conceptualize this entire shitshow. 0764
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 06/09/2026That and his smarmy dickhead affect. Just begging for a comeuppance. 000
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I would also like to add "Faked a 315 bench press" to the list. 010
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 06/09/2026The reason why 2024 was so agonizing was precisely this - (almost) half the country knew exactly what Trump 2.0 would unleash and there was no convincing the dumbass median swing voter or elite gatekeeper otherwise. All this shit was so predictable it's maddening. 1161
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I don't think there has there has been a bow tie wearer in the past 60-70 years who wasn't an insufferable ass 140

Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I don't say this about many (any?) YouTube essays, but that video is a must-watch if you want to understand a key part of the current shitshow. And as a piece of technical filmmaking it's pretty impressive. 130
Obvious Pseudonym @obviouspseudonym.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I think the AI corps made a classic Kinsey gaffe - they predicted want they *wanted* to happen to workers & are belatedly finding out that won't happen. Sort of like broaching the subject of a three-way or polycule w/ your partner & them freaking out. Can't put that toothpaste back in the tube! 010
