Shock and Outrage at Latest Actions by White House
(Internet) It has been another eventful day, as yet another disastrous event unfolded in the trump presidential administration. And as reporting outlets consolidate and coverage wanes, Americans are finding only vague coverage of the latest outrage or policy, and this leaves them as disheartened as the events themselves.
This act or policy has left many wondering what the next outrageous act or policy will be. “It feels like each one is the worst,” said one person affected, “but we know, somehow, this will be overshadowed by the next one.”
Editors are as tired as the people affected, as well. “We can only hope this article can be run again, with minimal editing,” said one editor. “This administration keeps creating these terrible events, so that we barely have time to respond. Only by creating a generalized article that seems to cover each individual event, but is really just a vague hand-wave towards it, can we hope to meet our reporting mandate with a meager budget.
Republicans, however, are delighted by the act or policy, and will strongly support it until it affects them or their families directly. “He’s just doing his job as president,” some supporter said, or will say. “This is what needs to be done.”
But experts agree that this action or policy will have dire implications in the long term. As one expert said, “you want me to give you a blanket quote that will cover most gaffs during trump’s presidency? Well… let’s see… How about saying that an adult who considered the consequences of their actions would know better.”
The president was likely golfing and unavailable for comment at news time.
I put a Ublock filter on Lemmy for posts containing "Trump" or "Musk" a couple weeks ago. People have commented that my mood has greatly improved lately. I suspect it's related.
Mind sharing how you do it? I'd love to do this in regards to US politics, and especially AI, since most of the AI post frustrate me with how much bullshit it is.
With the post-listing, if I opened an article by a link, it would also hide the post text - which has funnily enough happened when I opened the YSK post, and by that point I'm kind of interested in what it has to say. By using the rule above, it only seems to hide it from the feed. I haven't tested how robust it is, just posting it here in case someone else is interested.
It shouldn't be hard to modify. I haven't looked into it, but I assume that it looks for ID/class of HTML elements, so if you replace .post-listing with a class you find by using RightClick - Inspect on the feed/post listing in your UI, it should work.
Here is what you are looking for, I found it by Right Clicking the post listing, and clicking on Inspect.
So, for example, if I wanted to filter comments, the rule would be (the . is there because it's a class, I assume?)
programming.dev##.comment-content:has-text(Musk)
I haven't tested it, but from my vague CSS knowledge, it could work like that.
