Obvious Pseudonym

Yeah, right now is pretty fucking dire for people who prefer text-based social media.

Even people who should ostensibly know better have let their attention by hijacked by dumb slop.

What's more depressing is seeing the devolution in real time, watching people who used to think in complete, cogent paragraphs now talk entirely like Twitter shitposters. It's real bad.

I never made the mistake of respecting or otherwise idolizing comedians, but even so I've been pretty taken aback by their degeneracy. You spend some time listening to their (fucking unbearably ubiquitous and incestuous) podcast appearances and they're either total morons or the scum of the earth.

Come to think of it, Bari really is the Jake Paul of journalism.

Nixon: "What's this about the frogs?"
Haldeman: "They're costumes-"
Nixon: "Inflatable, yes?"
Haldeman: "Yes, sir. Inflatable."
Nixon: "I've seen unicorns as well."
Haldeman: "Yes, some also dress as unicorns."
Nixon: "Hmmm. Unicorns. Queers, most likely."
Haldeman: "Yes, sir."

Woke 2: Respect Their Pronouns. We Are No Longer Asking, Asshole.

In your opinion, does 'park your retirement in an S&P 500 target index fund and forget about it' still count as good advice?

I feel like not nearly enough people know about the bullshit NYPD pulled on DeBlasio. They fucking kidnapped his daughter!

Especially with this administration of dipshit influencers. If they're trying to manifest an authoritarian state via simulacrum of spectacle, it's important to make frustrate that attempt by doing fun and performatively clownish shit in return.

It's good that it's MIT because it's incredibly hard to paint that institution as remotely "woke".

What can you even say about that fucking paper at this point

If anything, you have been remarkably restrained towards the people you roast. They deserve much meaner comments.

Fantasy weapon I've been thinking about for the past oh, 10 months or so. A cannon you can point at someone and it immediately gives them the worst, most debilitating menstrual cramps in human history.

Some dude starts talking about fertility rates, just blast him with that sucker.

Kenneth Arrow figured this shit out in the 60s and that poor man had to spend the rest of his life hearing morons discover that health care has information asymmetries.

"Whoa, health care isn't a classical free market?"

It's Elon turning Twitter into a propaganda machine and also the explosion in brain-poisoned group chats, with all the dumbest bitches you know telling each other "exactlyyyy"

All of Bari's all staff meetings are basically going to be Hegseth-level Dunning-Kruger idiocy. I'm looking forward to the leaks.

100%. There's a certain type of millennial dude who will turn out exactly like the Boomers who won't shut the fuck up about 1968.

Know Your Enemy gave Caldwell the most generous interpretation of his work imaginable (from a non right-wing perspective obviously) and I still came away thinking "Yeah, this guy is just a slightly polished erudite shitbag."

I don't think I've seen such a high-profile writer who traffics in cliche so thoroughly as Bari. Completely vapid.

It's one reason why Bouie is great. He's a true hater, whereas most fancy mainstream pundits are overly polite careerists (at best) or obsequious ass kissers.

People who have passionate opinions (either laudatory or negative) about Buttigieg are very weird.

The thing that still leaves me agog about that whole thing is that Balko wrote an exhaustively thorough pieces with numerous citations and Weiss still thought the argument needed to be hashed out over a fucking podcast, in between ad reads, presumably.

Pandering to illiterate chuds for money.

I have thought more than once that his aides deliberately put AI-slop in front of him to try and convince him that's what the TV is saying.

The past 3-4 years have reminded many people of what I thought was pretty obvious - 95% of comedians are degenerates with a personality disorder.

I feel like some lib dudes with legit MMA experience should challenge these chuds to clock out, take off the tactical gear and meet them in the octagon.

Can't help but noticing that Kathleen Parker is still employed by the WaPo, way WAY past the point where they got rid of all the good people.

This is one reason why being against traffic enforcement cameras is shortsighted. Incrementally decreasing their purview is the long-game until more cops become non-fash.

During the Bush II years, I would have said Heritage and AEI were equally bad.

I definitely underestimated how evil Heritage was.

Cornpone, Roger Taney-ass motherfucker.

You're not missing anything tbh. They're both just dumb podcasts hosted by different sets of annoying dudes who are annoying for slightly different reasons.
