How does she feel about protecting the "Hispanic and Black jobs" from the "illegals"? With messaging not even trying to hide the dog whistle anymore I don't see how he stands a chance outside of uneducated white poor people like Vance talked about before kissing the ring of his Führer.

Under Schedule F of Project 2025 Trump (and his horrible fascist administration) will look to replace possibly hundreds of thousands of career civil servants in all branches of the government and fill them with pro-fascist bodies ready to rubber stamp everything. And part of 2025 is also making it so non-fascist friendly media loses their licenses and basically be forced to conform to the US version of RT, or fold.

He is going to demand loyalty or he will shut it down. They aren't going to get any tax breaks or deregulation, he doesn't see them as people (unless they write BS positive "news" about him his people can print out for him).

Well listening to all the conspiracies coming from the Right prior to the debate they expected the Biden we saw at the State of the Union. And afterwards they accused him of being on performance enhancing drugs (because he could make whole logical sentences that Trump is struggling with these days).

Trump had a plan of just spewing a bunch of shit and calling Joe names, full stop. He got lucky that Joe made that easier for him, although he still made more sense than Trump. The Right has been running on the following since Trump announced:

  1. The immigrants that our economy depends on are out to replace white people/kill and rape white women/bring crime.

  2. Joe is old/sleepy (and sometimes responsible for things Trump did).

  3. Bury any mention of Project 2025 because nobody but elite Christofascists will benefit from it, and thus wildly unpopular even with the right.

  4. Keep Trump out of jail.

I "heard" anyone disrupting his visit were FBI plants and the arrested ones would be political prisoners (even when video/photographic evidence says otherwise).

And the whole reason he announced so early was because he knew the indictments were coming and wanted to play the "election interference" angle to try and shield himself from being held accountable.

Well all he cares about is optics and being in the news (good or bad) more than anything else. Any "policy" he word salads about is just a vehicle to get attention. At the RNC he couldn't even help himself and had to mention his crowd size and how they cared so much about him when recounting his assassination attempt (even went on about how nobody even moved when they heard the shots because they needed to know he was ok - I saw video showing otherwise).

I think it was the perfect storm of sickness/tiredness/anger/and his speech issues that become magnified with any of the above. And he was never a spring chicken, but he has been doing the job just fine, but the media suddenly saw a way to cash in on their constant both sides bullshit and jumped on the "Biden old" train along with the fascists.

Is he old, yes. And he should have long since retired, but he is still alert enough to have a conversation with people and make decisions, both of which have been glaring issues for Trump.

If anything the media should worry about their constantly giving a platform to fascist talking points and fear of losing revenue because they are "taking sides". I think reporting on the real issues surrounding Trump and Project 2025 is perfectly valid without needing to "balance" their reporting with something negative about the democratic candidate. It's actually the job of the press to report the facts, not to always both sides everything to maintain a fake neutrality.

It's not that he needs to do the debate, but he did the first because it fed his ego of being a strong man. So, him having to back out of the debate without having a scapegoat will eat at his ego of a strong man. So this word salad he spews setting the stage to duck the debate is as about rationalizing it to his ego far more than any real campaign reasoning. Trump does everything for Trump, and this whole campaign is largely about getting in the White House so he can stay out of the big house (prison).

Terrified Trump is scared to face another prosecutor.

He has lost to an alarming amount of them already.

They'll all buy credits, problem solved!

The right is in a panic and pushing this "questionable legality" and "it's too late to change their candidate" nonsense. They are publicly running on the issues of banning abortion, putting tariffs on everything coming into the country, and mass deportation of "illegals" that are taking "Hispanic, Black, and union" jobs at record rates. That last part of which I don't know how the media hasn't called it out for being overtly racist and complete bullshit. Yet they let it slide at the debate, because they were all racing to write about Biden, and then again at the RNC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

The whole title. They had no talk of unity, and repeating it even to later denounce it only aids the ring wing talking points, and is completely missed by people only reading headlines.

I read that title as, the GOP calling for unity even amongst its growing hard right faction, but not a bit of that is true.

 

Upgraded the instance to 0.19.5 and all seems well. As usual, let me know if you see otherwise.

Upgrading the site to Lemmy 0.19.4 so expect roughly an hour of downtime. I'll update this post right before I take the site down, and again once the site is back up.

Edit #1: OK, site will be going down now 11:31am EST. Edit #2: Site is back up - upgrade complete @ 10:46 pm EST.

A lot of things broke I didn't expect, so please let me know if you find something not work as you believe it should be and I'll see what I can do about fix it (hopefully quicker). Again, sorry about the downtime!

 

The server has now been updated to Lemmy 0.19.3 release. Let me know if you see anything that seems broken, and enjoy!

 

I have updated the site to Lemmy 0.19.2 so let me know if you notice anything ... wonky. =)

The Holidays (badatbeing.social)
 

I just wanted to wish anyone like myself, that struggles with the sheer amount of stimulation and hustle bustle of this time of year, the best of luck. You got this! I know it's not easy, but we will make it out the other side and hopefully not be to mentally drained (fingers crossed).

 

This is just a heads up that I'm readying the server for the new 0.19.1 update so there will be a little downtime for the site once it begins. I'm hopeful that I can do it without buggering the whole thing up and needing to do any restores. =)

See you on the other side!

As the title states, the instance is now running Lemmy 0.19.0 release. Overall I think it's running good, and some good quality of life features added.

You can read more about it here.

 

I just update the instance to the newest lemmy-ui:0.19.0-beta.1 and lemmy:0.19.0-rc.1 builds, and as far as I can tell nothing blew up. =)

Oh and the site should work with logins now as well that was broken by an in between build that changed the database but not the front end to talk to it.

 

My constant quest for the new shiny caused me to bork the site for a short time until I could grok what I did wrong and fix it.

Sorry if anyone was inconvenienced!!

This is just a post to validate anyone who doesn't feel seen. If you think you might be autistic or have ADHD (or both), your feelings are valid, and I understand.

Music (badatbeing.social)

Maybe it's just me, but hopefully not, but the thing I love about music is when it's able to express and/or make me feel emotions I personally would never be able to articulate.

I listen to alot of "Jam Bands", and I think the greatest draw for me is when you get a band passionate about making music for ppl to enjoy and they can just go all out for 20+ minutes ... It's like your just someplace else and I feel it. It's almost like a comfortable weight (I like pressure/weight on me). If the lyrics are amazing even better!

I also enjoy music that has some amazingly expressive lyrics, but with music that's "raw" (full of emotion).

I just got done watching this [NSFW] video of The Carasmatic Voice watching Rage Against The Machine for the first time. The emotional weight of the song is pretty high for me, and then watching her reactions and break down is just wow. She gives a description and can explain why I feel the way the music makes me feel that way and it's just ... amazing and I love it. Like I feel the rollercoaster and anger and her ability to process and describe it adds like another satisfying layer on top of the music for me.

Sorry for the wall of text! Noted the video is NSFW because Rage is more often than not going to be something corporate overlords are NOT going to be excited to hear employees listening to at work.

Sometimes ... (badatbeing.social)
 

I hate the days (like today) that I spend all my free time doing something I find interesting instead of doing all the stuff I know needs to be done, just because my brain finds it more interesting.

(the interesting thing was this site btw)
