Yeah, that is the joke. It’s kinda like The Pack type humor in that it’s mocking how out of touch the demographic that would usually make this kind of complaint is. Modern jazz musician culture is a whole lot of meta-absurdist humor.

Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•they hate gays, hate blacks, hate personal freedom, don't like people doing what they want...5·5 days agoThat appears to be half of Brian May in the background, who is, of course, also a phenomenal musician.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•4chan... A part of internet (history) for sure31·5 days agoIf you trust KnowYourMeme, the phrase “image macro” was coined in 2004 and popularized in 2005. 4chan was started in 2003.

Not just voluntarily hidden, but actively suppressed.

The SC deliberately phrased it “facilitate” his return as a weasel word instead of “effectuate” like the lower court stated, to give them room to wiggle out of actually bringing him back without putting themselves in the position of having to do anything about it.

Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•"I'm not joking": Trump again floats running for anti-constitutional third term8·22 days agoI also remember republicans freaking out about how Obama was going to run for a third term and declare himself king even though there was absolutely no indication that anyone thought that was a good idea. He was just popular and they couldn’t handle it.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of GreenlandEnglish22·25 days agoI think it’s really dangerous to keep dismissing the Greenland talk as a distraction. We have learned the lesson dozens of times before not to dismiss anything he says because it’s just “crazy talk.”
Taking control of Greenland and Canada would give a US-Russian alliance complete control over the Arctic circle, which has been a tactical goal of Putin’s for decades.
The day could come very soon when the US will take military action against Europe on behalf of Russian interests, and the rest of the world should take it seriously and prepare.
The Ukrainian flag is upside down on the map. Yellow should be on the bottom.

Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do people manage to actually get jobs through online applications (US citizen here)?1·27 days agoMake sure your skills section is filled out. That’s mostly what recruiters use to filter their searches. I’ve added a new skill before and had a message from a recruiter about that specific skill within a week.

Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season1·2 months agoI had the same idea and looked into it. If you’re a salaried employee, the only way to not have withholdings taken from your paychecks is to claim withholding exemption on your W4, which you can only legally do if you had no tax burden last year and expect to have none this year. The threshold for that is really low, like $13,800/yr I think.
You can always try it anyway, but if they do come looking for their money, there will be penalties to pay on top of the tax amount.
It sucks because even just a high yield savings account could make you an extra $800 or so on your income tax money if you just held it and paid as a lump sum.

Considering the demographics of Alabama, the majority of people helped by this program were probably Black.
Thanks for a lot of useful replies, everyone. Sorry I ghosted my own post for a couple days. I’m seeing surprisingly few people who actually use or used TrueNAS, so maybe that’s something to consider moving away from. I’ll have to weigh my options.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Clarence Thomas calls out federal court for ignoring precedent despite his doing same with Roe6·3 months agoIt’s gonna be Aileen Cannon. She’s already proven that her only judicial competencies are complete deference and fealty to trump and disdain for impartiality and procedure, which are the only qualifications they’re looking for.
Could you kick up the 4d3d3d3?
It is kind of surprising that all three of the trump-appointed justices went along with the opinion. They’re no heroes by any means, but I’m still relieved when they decide to do the bare minimum. Really, it just shows how depraved Thomas and Alito are.
