You dumb BIPOCs were elected to make eggs cheaper and kick out immigrants, not to open on the most r-slurred fricking week in all of politics.
In his first week, President Trump:
Renamed the Gulf of Mexico
Withdrew from WHO for no fricking reason
Froze medicaid, meals on wheels, student loans and farm subsidies because they're woke
Prepared to enter a trade war with Europe over fricking Greenland and a trade war against Canada for no reason
All and all, an astonishingly shit first week that is a mind-blowing political failure
POV you're a West Virginian 70 year old Trump voter who didn't want to starve to death
So, a shitty first week. But kek on frens, that's not what it's about, is it? It's about winning. It's about the vibe shift. It's about being able to say r-slur in public, and honestly I feel that. You won. You totally won.
Just not on being unwoke. You dumb fricking r-slurs won on the economy;
Even immigration, Trump's strongest social issue, is a distant 4th to the economy. But all Trump is focused on is doing is scoring pointless cultural victories, like banning s from the military or ending affirmative action in hiring federally.
And this is the bombshell; Americans by and large liked wokeness.
The majority of Americans, with the exception of literal boomers, consider being woke a good thing. You don't like woke. Your friends don't like woke, I don't like woke. But no poll has come out to say outright that the American people by and large have a negative opinion of woke, wokeness or DEI. Yes, even DEI - it's popularity is backsliding, but it still commands a popular majority.
You dumb BIPOCs are fricked come 2026 and 2028.

Why're they pretending war in Yemen is something new lmao. Also splendid choice of protag for the script, they could've interviewed someone neutral but no they interviewed someone who got arrested by Ethio army in counter terror ops lmao
Based r*pe the islamists
In 10 years BTW. Sounds like a very oppressed person to me
I moved to Yemen and there's a war?
How could this be happening to me??!!
There's no way a boat that left hours before yours and sunk midway will have the corpses wash up at your specific landing point before you get there lmao.

Years ago I ripped the DKD soundtrack off YouTube by searching various things + also took requests from people here and then I renamed the files to basic, ordered numbers because that seemed to make the most sense. You can see this here:
https://fsdfsd.net/MarseyWorld/MarseyWorld/src/branch/master/files/assets/events/DKD/music
However
I want to add the Now Playing to the bottom of the page, a really small footer with a cute lil equalizer graphic or something beside it. This will apply to all holigays. But it's DKD right now so let's tackle that.
Identify the tracks, include a link to the youtube video it came from to prove you're not full of shit. 500 per track identified. Obviously tell me which file the link corresponds to.
Do as many or as few as you want, some are actually really easy like the fricking DKC Funky's Flights theme.
Be first or be broke.
Thank you me because this is all happening as I have had a tab open since yesterday morning with some sort of Kong remix playing and I need to know what it is because it's SO GOOD.

Like I don't mean to be overdramatic, but this is straight up the end of the American century

It’s the fact that Americans have 0 idea how important it is that America has so many Allie’s around the world that Trump is just now cutting off one by one for absolutely no reason because he failed to communicate.

Yeah, it's basic diplomacy. America would lose badly in Sid Meyer's Civ right now.

Anyway remittances from the US account for 3% of Colombia's GDP so a single deportation flight is pretty devastating to their national economy. And the threats worked immediately
So we are thankfully not going to be deprived of all the many things Colombia exports here. I don't know what those things are besides coffee and cocaine but X (formerly Twitter) informs me it's a lot and very important. Crisis averted.

This country is legitimately one catalyst incident away from full blown civil war. Plenty of root cause is there. Only thing holding it back is that most people are still far too comfortable and have too much to lose. All it takes now is for something to happen that either makes people no longer comfortable (think major economic crash), or something that enrages one side so much taht they dontbcare anymore (trump assassination would do it for the right, mass incarceration of legal immigrants and naturalized citizens for the left, as examples).

I had a small role in recruiting this man. He'd spent the last ten years leading engineering teams on a consumer product you've probably used, and he's just arrived in DC to work with the federal government. He started on Monday, and it's now Thursday night. I run into him at an event. He arrives late, and looks shellshocked.
How's it going? He's struggling to put words together. I'm worried. "I just left the office. I think everything's going to be okay." What is he talking about? "For the first day and a half, nothing. Then it was 'go to this agency and help them with this thing. It needs to go live on Thursday and there's a problem.' Yes, there was a problem. The data the service relied on….I've never seen a database like that. Ever." What do you mean? "1993. The guy couldn't find any other way to make it work. The vendors would have taken too long even if someone could justify the budget. So he just hacked it at nights and over weekends. Used whatever he could find and taught himself how to use it. The machine is ancient. The software has just been running since then. I'm amazed he managed to keep it running this long. It's a miracle. Either no one knew, or no one cared — my guess is that they were just happy to have something that worked at all. The guy's been keeping this going like this…I mean…I had no idea…I've never seen…." He's shaking his head and looking past me.
What happened? "First we just had to make sure we could get the data out somehow, make sure we had a copy. I mean, these records…they're the only copy. The whole system relies on this. People rely on this. To help real people. People who need help. If it had failed…" He really is in shock.
"I'd just never seen anything like this. I was afraid if I even touched it, it would all go poof. We got it out. It's okay…. It's okay now…But this guy…He's been keeping this together for 23 years…"
For a minute, I worry that he's angry. And that he might be angry at me for encouraging him to take this job. But I look in his eyes and it's not anger, it's awe. Respect. Admiration and gratitude for a public servant who has achieved the impossible. Made things work in spite of the rules, not because of them. "He made it work. He's the only guy who can run it. He knows it wouldn't work without him so he's deferred his retirement. I mean…he's extraordinary."
Extraordinary. A Silicon Valley technologist, the kind of person we champion as a savior of government, thinks that a career civil servant beyond retirement age with sorely outdated technical skills is extraordinary.
That career civil servant's name is Jed. The system he started building in the 1980s and maintained for decades before my friend came along was called VACOLS, the Veterans Appeals Control and Locator System. It started out serving just 400 users, and expanded to 17,000 across multiple parts of the VA system. Logic Magazine later interviewed him, and the backstory is well worth a read.
