Why is Trump threatening us with a good time?

Incident happened two years ago in March of 2024.

Cassettes are a great way to play ambient and lo-fi hip-hop music.

EDIT:

Example

To better understand raven behavior, researchers fitted 69 birds with small GPS trackers…

Nice

Just eat ferments. You don’t need no healthcare. /s

I could not find it with the lyrics in English so here’s a translation from the interwebz.

========

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
I left it grazing and it disappeared.
I will pay for every information.
The flowers it left
did not want to talk to me.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
I don’t know if it left me
I don’t know if it got lost
and I have nothing more
than a blue unicorn
if anyone knows about it
I beg you for information
I will pay a hundred thousand or one million.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday it left.

My unicorn and I
we became friends,
a little bit with love
a little bith with truth.
with its indigo horn
it fished for a song
His vocation was to know how to share it.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
and it might nearly seem like an obsession
but I have nothing more
than a blue unicorn
and even if I had two of them
I only want that one.
I will pay you for any information.

I lost my blue unicorn yesterday
it left.

Generalizations are bad, mmmmmkay. Not everyone in .ml is marxist/lenninist. For a very long time .ml was Lemmy’s main instance and is still very tech focused. A two second glance at my history would have clued you in.

Why? Seriously, why are they stunned? He was a crass, low class, racist thug well before the dementia hit. Why would anyone expect better?

Quick clarification of terms, since I think you are using them incorrectly. In general, liberals, progressives and leftists ideologies are categorized as such.

• Liberals want to make capitalism fair.
• Progressives want to regulate it.
• Leftists want to move beyond it.

In the current US political environment the three terms are best used to describe the following groups.

• Liberals - Clinton, Obama, Biden, Schummer, etc. What we in Lemmy tend to describe as the “Democratic establishment”.
• Progressives - AOC, Bernie, Mamdami, etc. The Democratic socialists that want to fix and reform the current system.
• Leftists - Almost always anti-capitalism. Want to replace the system if possible.

Rope-a-dope

This is the vibe I get when I see articles like this.

Those people (Republicans) are lost, and liberals are still holding on to their “The West Wing” fantasy. It’s up to progressives and leftists to build community networks, win local elections, and show the brainwashed and exploited masses (looking at you MAGA), that there is a better way towards dignity and prosperity. It sure as shit isn’t this neo-fascist cyberpunk dystopia fast track we’re on.

Financial anxiety ran much higher among Democrats, 53% of whom feared an economic breakdown, compared with just 28% of Republicans.

That’s because a hard requirement to be a Republican in 2026 is to maintain a complete disregard for obvious facts and an utter disdain for realities that do not match a fantasy of their own greatness.

AI

I can call you Meta, and Meta you can call me AI. Call me AI.

I use iOS (tablet), Android (phone), Linux (main), MacOS (music and media), and Windows (corporate client support). Of the bunch, I only hate Windows.

With the exception of an Irish man in the 1800’s, my ancestors came to this continent before the colonies declared independence (willingly or chained up in a boat). I am also 14.8% native American (percentage according to genetic analysis).

This country is a fondue pot of conquistadors, colonizers, slaves, native Americans, and immigrants. As much as I agree that these are stolen lands, I think we are all so mixed up that it is now near impossible to separate who “belongs” and who doesn’t. I prefer the mindset that this land does not belong to any of us and it is our responsibility to make sure that we make sure that we all belong.

Shocker. After he’s been so nice and accommodating to them.

There doesn’t have to be a good guy in this story. It is perfectly plausible for this entire mess to be driven solely by villains while the innocents, who have no control over any of it, be its victims.
