#Obviousness
That’s not even close to an apology. And besides, Denmark lost more people per head of the population than *any* other country in Afghanistan. The obviousness of his contempt for crucial alliances matches the obviousness of his contempt for the truth.

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.
"agents told hospital staff that Castaneda Mondragon ... 'purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.'”
A Minnesota man received a life-threatening injury while in ICE custody. It's not clear how he got injured because his memory and ability to communicate are so severely impaired. Agents said "he got his shit rocked." Wild story from @katrinapross.bsky.social sahanjournal.com/health/ice-d...

I'm glad we're writing about this with all the obviousness and disdain possible like no one is at all even pretending to be surprised
"Age verification laws are accidentally driving traffic to shadier porn sites... It’s the unintended consequence that everyone saw coming, except apparently the UK government."
Age-Verification Laws Are Accidentally Driving Traffic To Shadier Porn Sites
You can never truly ban something that people really love. People love sex, and by extension, they love porn.

I think even MAGA will be furious at the obviousness of the administration protecting the powerful.

the blatant obviousness and utter shamelessness of this grift

Love the obviousness of the truth in the comments and quotes here - TERFs hate trans women because they hate all women and womanhood itself.

Finally, a meme with some obviousness.

Rewriting data that’s already in your charts isn’t really an insight.

My brain kept working these thoughts into lines so decided to actually write them out

the obviousness of the political solutions make the Dems failure to embrace them more likely evidence of systemic corruption than evidence of incompetence

Sure, you can say you guessed Trump would be this bad, but obviousness is 20/20.

The consequences have reached "meme literally brought to life" levels of obviousness.

I do believe strongly "obviousness" should be admissible evidence in courts.

I feel like my anxiety nightmares are scripted for the benefit of the remedial psychology class at the dumbest school in America. I mean like Sorkin-level insulting obviousness of meaning.

The butterfly symbolizes obviousness!

Sometimes I find myself wanting to scream that Captain America: Winter Soldier is the most important anti-fascist messaging of the 21st century—just on reach and metaphoric obviousness
Jasper Sitwell’s rant about the data that goes into the Hydra death algorithm should probably be played on a split screen loop with Steve’s horrified expression until normal people finally get what’s wrong with letting DOGE use their government info for Autocorrect Intelligence training

With the accompanying earplug-inspiring levels of obviousness.

Your daily obviousness. Lol still no idea what we're waiting for.
May 21, 2025 at 1:11 PM
I think it's perfectly reasonable to block someone for condescending obviousness, don't you?

Early in Covid, I thought the obviousness of the trade-offs there might make us better at examining this on all issues. To which I can only say lol, lmao, even.
People responding by pointing out that after all not closing schools would have had costs (and worse ones!) are correct. But that's rather the point: we accept some costs in order to secure some outcome and if we do so with eyes open we can then (now!) talk about mitigating costs we chose to bear.

They know. The Right no longer have any hesitancy to use disinformation, regardless of its obviousness.

The rat stands for obviousness

I genuinely think folks blind themselves a little.. the number of cases of genuinely talented people proudly posting obvious slop indicates to me that playing with these tools long enough dulls your eye to the obviousness.
I honestly believe that it's very possible to use AI generated wirk and hide it from people but the act of using AI seems so degenerate on people's creativity that they fail, because they use AI. Like, it isn't a limit of the technology, it's a limit of its users.

To be clear I don’t want to actually *be* smarter than people, I just want to feel smarter than them with surface level buzz words and an unearned sense of smug obviousness. Got anything like that?

Meaning, for example, that it's just obvious to you that there are moral truths but (possibly as a result of the obviousness) you have trouble articulating it.
