  • His flaws aren’t invisible to his cult members, they’re why they follow him in the first place.

    If He can a be racist, bigoted piece of shit that can do no wrong then they can be racist, bigoted pieces of shit that can do no wrong.

    His sexism justifies their sexism. His constant grifting justifies their constant grifting.

    But above all else, in my humble opinion, is that he’s an absolute fucking moron that likes to think he’s the smartest person in the room. And when you’re an absolute fucking moron that doesn’t understand how pronouns work or why masks were important or anything like that, well that’s okay because actually you know better because you’re smart, you’re the smartest guy in the room, you know better than all those experts, just like Trump.







  • But confusingly, Trump has continued to send Vance out to campaign events all week, while the Republican presidential nominee has remained largely out of the public eye. Given Vance’s low appeal, it’s unclear how this strategy helps the campaign.

    Trump is going to blame Vance for the failure of his campaign, calling it now. He’ll have the usual shit about dems as well, but he’s going to scapegoat vance and throw him under the bus just like he’s done with literally everyone else before him.


  • I don’t follow Tommy Robinson much for obvious reasons, but I have been watching various right wing telegram groups since they organised a protest riot near me.

    What’s weird (or at least unexpected to me) is they don’t seem to like him either, claiming he’s Jewish (which of course they have an issue with) and funded by Israel?

    It might well be that this is a particularly extreme right wing group, but I’m still very confused at this point.

    Either way, fuck the lot of them.

    I used OSMC for years going back to when it was still raspbmc, got the first Vero and then the 4k model.

    They were never perfect and hassle free, a lot of which I put down to Kodi itself. I love the idea of Kodi, but the base interface is lacking (especially when you have a big collection) and most of the fancy front-ends / skins I tried would run too slow and once again bring back the shoddy TV experience I was trying to avoid. It also does not support streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ in any usable capacity. Kodi has a rich add-on ecosystem, which usually means you can plug some gaps but the add-ons have a habit of just breaking out of the blue or during major upgrades. I’ve had to have Kodi index my library so many times that I got sick of it ruining film night.

    Eventually I bought an Nvidia shield, still using Kodi at first but switching between Plex, jellyfin and emby until I settled on emby for my local content. Being able to use other streaming services was a bonus and the hardware was good enough that it doesn’t feel sluggish.

    You can also install 3rd party apps like smart tube for an excellent YouTube experience (and now my preferred way to watch YouTube).

    The shield is starting to show it’s age big time (it doesn’t support HDR on YouTube, for example) but sadly outside of the USA there isn’t really any devices that match or beat it - you keep hearing about that Wal-Mart device being brilliant but that’s US only.

    So in short, get a good android TV box for the best experience and the most options.
