Finally had the perfect day

[cornerofmadness]

It was in the 70s and sunny so where was I? Taking mom to the neurologist (for him to tell her what me and my brother have been saying for months. She needs a laminectomy for her spinal stenosis, and yes that's not what anyone wants to hear)

I'm sitting here reeling from what knew was coming, the loss of PBS and NPR

So have my fannish 50 recs (and sadness that I didn't watch everything I wanted to but hey I finished a season of Shetland (4), Mandalorian (1) and ALL of Lower Decks, finishing Moon Knight now)


I was thrilled to find out that my ficlet (Hazbin) All Thumbs was podficced here the podficcer is anonymous but the person it was podficced for responded and I'm confused by how MY story was gifted for some prompt but okay (no they didn't ask but I'm not unhappy about it)

Are PBS and NPR television stations in America? I think I've heard of them. Have they been shut down? Why?

Sorry to be ignorant but it sounds pretty serious.

[cornerofmadness]

Oh no problem. Yes they are (TV and radio) Public service stations.

The idiot we're forced to call president is a wanna be dictator and they refuse to stop sharing criticism of his presidency and him as a person and did what all wanna be dictators do, ensure all news outlets only publish good things about him and all of his decisions so he cut their funding under the guise of 'saving money' (will giving trillions in tax cuts to billionaire buddies of his)

Thanks, how sad that they are being closed down. In Britain the previous government started to close down any shows they thought were left wing, I'm not sure what the new government is going to do.

Oh yes, I call him Agent Orange. It is so scary that he’s able to do that, it's really 1984 and fascist-y to only allow media that praises him. I'm so sorry this is happening in America, I really hope it can be stopped somehow and normal life resume.🙏

[cornerofmadness]

That's sad too for you guys. Hopefully the new government will do better.

I'm rather hoping the Epstein scandal will end him but so far so many people don't care (I mean why would they? The victims were women and that party could care less about them)

[kitarella_imagines]

The new government are better in some ways but not that good. A 2 party system is a bit restricting, I'm hoping Proportional Representation comes along instead.

I hope so but yes, people are apathetic now, they don't fight for their rights and women in the US (and worldwide) are being suppressed. So much for the rise of equality, feminism, women's rights etc. All that is being undermined now by cynical extreme groups. Grrr!😡

[spikedluv]

I knew they'd been defunded (fuckers), but are they actually gone?!! My local NPR station seemed to indicate they'd remain around so long as their listeners continued to donate to keep them afloat.

[cornerofmadness]

They announced they are winding down and removing programing. NPR is basically doing cloudfunding to stay alive. PBS will have a much more difficult time doing that

Why Trump? WHY?! >:O

[cornerofmadness]

The perpetual question (though this one has an easy answer. He is goose stepping to dictator 101, end every news outlet that reports the bad things he does)
