Period.
It doesn’t matter if some of them “do nice things” maybe.
Billionaires should not exist.

dumpsterlid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Billionaires who once disavowed Trump are coming crawling back (which might have something to do with Biden vowing to raise their taxes)English1·1 year agoThis isn’t a play Biden has really every done his entire time as a politician. Biden is the definition of a politician who identifies the status quo and builds their platform from it.
Whatever, most of the time it doesn’t matter, but it is truly incredible in this moment how much more politicians like Biden could be successful if they just promised to tax billionaires and then actually did it. Yes you would receive zero campaign funding from the rich for the rest of your life but you would also become extremely popular in the eyes of the public?
Small donation campaign financing works, this isn’t black magic.
dumpsterlid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Meta’s stock drops after Trump calls Facebook ‘an enemy of the people’English1·1 year agoHi Keith it’s your Mom’s friend Charen (pronounced with a hard Ch) she met at a weird multi-level marketing candle scheme she didn’t realize she was getting trapped into a miserable full length evening advertisement for (I should remember, I hosted it!).
I barely know you but I just wanted to raise awareness for my community Facebook group Leopards4FacesInNeed that connects vulnerable third world children with Christian Leopards.
Also stop smoking pot Keith, it is a SIN and I think talking about it publicly here as a thinly veiled attempt to shame you in a totally out of context fashion is totally appropriate and it’s not like I am going to face any consequences so maybe just log out of facebook and stop checking it for years at a time so you don’t have to deal with people like me. Also have you talked to my son Kevin? I lost him to the terrible woke plague and he won’t talk to me unless I take off my maga hat and I’m afraid to since I think I can hear the sound of the good old days of America playing from within side the hat, it must be a sign from up above (you should hear the tiny angles sing my name) and even my love for my son can’t get in the way of those types of messages!

Have you ever fucked around with a massively powerful software synthesizer like Pigments or Dune or Serum? Or used a powerful digital fx software like Sandman Pro?
When you have a complex sound generating machine, you can walk around the internals expressing yourself by changing the sound and timbre of the instrument as it plays a note rather than changing the note and the aesthetic dynamics possible far outstrip what seeing music only through the lens of notes can do.
I feel like in 2024 jazz is full of people who are Very Concerned with playing jazz according to the rules and boundaries. The amount of condescending jazz musicians I have met almost approaches the amount of condescending classically trained musicians at this point.
Obviously a generalization, but I don’t think Jazz even remotely plays the subversive, counter cultural role it used to, it has been far to institutionalized as a genre.
dumpsterlid@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•there's no time to explain, get in the jarEnglish0·1 year agoIs this the future of memes? Just lazily typing prompts into an AI that feeds out Cards Against Humanity style “zany!” combinations of dumb shit?
It all feels like the same fucking photo, the same lighting, the same boring reductive lowest common denominator responses to people asking “wouldn’t it be funny if?” that don’t carry any deeper meaning. I feel like I am looking at advertisements, except nobody is selling me anything other than a less vibrant future where human artists are even less valued than they are now.
Memes aren’t supposed to be “high art” or whatever, that is the fun of them they are handmade, stupid and janky. These AI images don’t feel like that though, instead of feeling silly and handmade they just feel…. disposable and it makes me sad that people are so excited to relate to art in a way where the future is exciting because of the limitless disposability of art that AI unlocks….

dumpsterlid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•An Idealistic Cop, a Forbidden Ticket and a Police Career on the BrinkEnglish34·1 year agoIs an idealistic cop the kind of cop who commits domestic abuse against their spouse because they believe in the goodness of it not because they enjoy it?
White supremacists are “infiltrating” into police forces in the same way I infiltrate into my buddies house… when they specifically invite me over to hang out with them at their house and stand up and come over and hug me with a warm greeting when I show up.
There is NO sense of infiltration here, rather we are looking at a fresh turd on a hot day (police), and there are flies all over it (white supremacists).
