Dear Just Dance community,

Today I present to you: a drawing that started out 100% as a joke but I feel would be greatly appreciated here.

Enjoy.

i love just dance sm but seriously why can’t they just add the whole just dance unlimited catalog onto just dance plus if they discontinued it. i would even be okay with it costing more money for the plus subscription in turn for adding the songs back. but to get rid of access to beloved songs entirely is fucking stupid. like why don’t they just add the songs back. genuinely what is stopping them.

The GOP is not the party of workers

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/12/13/occupy-the-democrats/#manchin-synematic-universe

The GOP says it's the "party of the working class" and indeed, they have promoted numerous policies that attack select groups within the American ruling class. But just because the party of unlimited power for billionaires is attacking a few of their own, it doesn't make them friends to the working people.

The best way to understand the GOP's relationship to worker is through "boss politics" – that's where one group of elites consolidates its power by crushing rival elites. All elites are bad for working people, so any attack on any elite is, in some narrow sense, "pro-worker." What's more, all elites cheat the system, so any attack on any elite is, again, "pro-fairness."

In other words, if you want to prosecute a company for hurting workers, customers, neighbors and the environment, you have a target-rich environment. But just because you crush a corrupt enterprise that's hurting workers, it doesn't mean you did it for the workers, and – most importantly – it doesn't mean that you will take workers' side next time.

Autocrats do this all the time. Xi Jinping engaged in a massive purge of corrupt officials, who were indeed corrupt – but he only targeted the corrupt officials that made up his rivals' power-base. His own corrupt officials were unscathed:

https://web.archive.org/web/20181222163946/https://peterlorentzen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Lorentzen-Lu-Crackdown-Nov-2018-Posted-Version.pdf

Putin did this, too. Russia's oligarchs are, to a one, monsters. When Putin defenestrates a rival – confiscates their fortune and sends them to prison – he acts against a genuinely corrupt criminal and brings some small measure of justice to that criminal's victims. But he only does this to the criminals who don't support him:

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2022/03/29/1088886554/how-putin-conquered-russias-oligarchy

The Trump camp – notably JD Vance and Josh Hawley – have vowed to keep up the work of the FTC under Lina Khan, the generationally brilliant FTC Chair who accomplished more in four years than her predecessors have in 40. Trump just announced that he would replace Khan with Andrew Ferguson, who sounds like an LLM's bad approximation of Khan, promising to deal with "woke Big Tech" but also to end the FTC's "war on mergers." Ferguson may well plow ahead with the giant, important tech antitrust cases that Khan brought, but he'll do so because this is good grievance politics for Trump's base, and not because Trump or Ferguson are committed to protecting the American people from corporate predation itself:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/12/the-enemy-of-your-enemy/#is-your-enemy

Writing in his newsletter today, Hamilton Nolan describes all the ways that the GOP plans to destroy workers' lives while claiming to be a workers' party, and also all the ways the Dems failed to protect workers and so allowed the GOP to outlandishly claim to be for workers:

https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/you-cant-rebrand-a-class-war

For example, if Ferguson limits his merger enforcement to "woke Big Tech" companies while ending the "war on mergers," he won't stop the next Albertson's/Kroger merger, a giant supermarket consolidation that just collapsed because Khan's FTC fought it. The Albertson's/Kroger merger had two goals: raising food prices and slashing workers' wages, primarily by eliminating union jobs. Fighting "woke Big Tech" while waving through mergers between giant companies seeking to price-gouge and screw workers does not make you the party of the little guy, even if smashing Big Tech is the right thing to do.

Trump's hatred of Big Tech is highly selective. He's not proposing to do anything about Elon Musk, of course, except to make Musk even richer. Musk's net worth has hit $447b because the market is buying stock in his companies, which stand to make billions from cozy, no-bid federal contracts. Musk is a billionaire welfare queen who hates workers and unions and has a long rap-sheet of cheating, maiming and tormenting his workforce. A pro-worker Trump administration could add labor conditions to every federal contract, disqualifying businesses that cheat workers and union-bust from getting government contracts.

Instead, Trump is getting set to blow up the NLRB, an agency that Reagan put into a coma 40 years ago, until the Sanders/Warren wing of the party forced Biden to install some genuinely excellent people, like general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, who – like Khan – did more for workers in four years than her predecessors did in 40. Abruzzo and her colleagues could have remained in office for years to come, if Democratic Senators had been able to confirm board member Lauren McFerran (or if two of those "pro-labor" Republican Senators had voted for her). Instead, Joe Manchin and Kirsten Synema rushed to the Senate chamber at the last minute in order to vote McFerran down and give Trump total control over the NLRB:

https://www.axios.com/2024/12/11/schumer-nlrb-vote-manchin-sinema

This latest installment in the Manchin Synematic Universe is a reminder that the GOP's ability to rebrand as the party of workers is largely the fault of Democrats, whose corporate wing has been at war with workers since the Clinton years (NAFTA, welfare reform, etc). Today, that same corporate wing claims that the reason Dems were wiped out in the 2024 election is that they were too left, insisting that the path to victory in the midterms and 2028 is to fuck workers even worse and suck up to big business even more.

We have to take the party back from billionaires. No Dem presidential candidate should ever again have "proxies" who campaign to fire anti-corporate watchdogs like Lina Khan. The path to a successful Democratic Party runs through worker power, and the only reliable path to worker power runs through unions.

Nolan's written frequently about how bad many union leaders are today. It's not just that union leaders are sitting on historically unprecedented piles of cash while doing less organizing than ever, at a moment when unions are more popular than they've been in a century with workers clamoring to join unions, even as union membership declines. It's also that union leaders have actually endorsed Trump – even as the rank and file get ready to strike:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yz_Z08KwKgFt3QvnV8nEETSgTXM5eZw5ujT4BmQXEWk/edit?link_id=0&can_id=9481ac35a2682a1d6047230e43d76be8&source=email-invitation-to-cover-amazon-labor-union-contract-fight-rally-cookout-on-monday-october-14-2024-2&email_referrer=email_2559107&email_subject=invitation-to-cover-jfk8-workers-authorize-amazon-labor-union-ibt-local-1-to-call-ulp-strike&tab=t.0

The GOP is going to do everything it can to help a tiny number of billionaires defeat hundreds of millions of workers in the class war. A future Democratic Party victory will come from taking a side in that class war – the workers' side. As Nolan writes:

If billionaires are destroying our country in order to serve their own self-interest, the reasonable thing to do is not to try to quibble over a 15% or a 21% corporate tax rate. The reasonable thing to do is to eradicate the existence of billionaires. If everyone knows our health care system is a broken monstrosity, the reasonable thing to do is not to tinker around the edges. The reasonable thing to do is to advocate Medicare for All. If there is a class war—and there is—and one party is being run completely by the upper class, the reasonable thing is for the other party to operate in the interests of the other, much larger, much needier class. That is quite rational and ethical and obvious in addition to being politically wise.

Nolan's remedy for the Democratic Party is simple and straightforward, if not easy:

The answer is spend every last dollar we have to organize and organize and strike and strike. Women are workers. Immigrants are workers. The poor are workers. A party that is banning abortion and violently deporting immigrants and economically assaulting the poor is not a friend to the labor movement, ever. (An opposition party that cannot rouse itself to participate on the correct side of the ongoing class war is not our friend, either—the difference is that the fascists will always try to actively destroy unions, while the Democrats will just not do enough to help us, a distinction that is important to understand.)

Cosigned.

Throughout the campaign, Trump has proven himself obsessed with two ideas: exerting personal control over the federal government, and exacting “retribution” against Democrats who challenged him and the prosecutors who indicted him. His team has, obligingly, provided detailed plans for doing both of these things.

This process begins with something called Schedule F, an executive order Trump issued at the end of his first term but never got to implement. Schedule F reclassifies a large chunk of the professional civil service — likely upward of 50,000 people — as political appointees. Trump could fire these nonpartisan officials and replace them with cronies: people who would follow his orders, no matter how dubious. Trump has vowed to revive Schedule F “immediately” upon returning to office, and there is no reason to doubt him.

Between a newly compliant bureaucracy and leadership ranks purged of first-term dissenting voices like former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Trump will face little resistance as he attempts to implement policies that threaten core democratic freedoms.

And Trump and his team have already proposed many of them. Notable examples include investigating leading Democrats on questionable charges, prosecuting local election administrators, using regulatory authority for retribution against corporations that cross him, and either shuttering public broadcasters or turning them into propaganda mouthpieces. Trump and his allies have claimed unilateral executive authority to take all of these actions. (It remains unclear which party will control the House, but Republicans will be in charge of the Senate for at least the next two years.)

Ultimately, all this executive activity is aimed at turning the United States into a larger version of Hungary — a country whose leadership and policies are regularly praised by Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and Project 2025 leader Kevin Roberts.

...

While the form of subtle authoritarianism pioneered in Hungary was novel in 2010, it’s well understood today. Orbán managed to come across as a “normal” democratic leader until it was too late to undo what he had done; Trump is taking office with roughly half the voting public primed to see him as a threat to democracy and resist as such. He can expect major opposition to his most authoritarian plans not only from the elected opposition, but from the federal bureaucracy, lower levels of government, civil society, and the people themselves.

This is the case against despair.

As grim as things seem now, little in politics is a given — especially not the outcome of a struggle as titanic as the one about to unfold in the United States. While Trump has four years to attack democracy, using a playbook he and his team have been developing since the moment he left office, defenders of democracy have also had time to prepare and develop countermeasures. Now is the time to begin deploying them.

Trump has won the presidency, which gives him a tremendous amount of power to make his antidemocratic dreams into power. But it is not unlimited power, and there are robust means of resistance. The fate of the American republic will depend on how willing Americans are to take up the fight.

700 COACHES!!

Behold, my seventh milestone pic!

Looking back on this batch is fun. I was able to finish an entire game’s coaches for the very first time. I did a lot of easier coaches with some more complex ones thrown in there. I made a lot of Unlimited/JD+ exclusive coaches (19, to be exact) and even MORE JD3 coaches (28!!!!). The games that had the least were JD23 and JD25, with one coach each. Maybe I’ll focus on them more when it comes to coaches #701-800.

My favorite coach from this group is probably a tie between Jin Go Lo Ba (top row, fifth column) and the 4x4 unicorn (sixth row, second column). They both caused a lot of frustration, but turned out exceptionally well. (I only wish Jin Go Lo Ba didn’t get over-ironed…)

Thank you for all your love and support when it comes to this project! I sincerely love making these little guys. If you want to see other coaches I’ve made, check out the #pixel coaches tag! I’m also going to be tagging all milestone posts with #coach milestone for easier access.

Yo soy muy chismosa y me gusta meterme en lo que no me importa así que hoy les traigo un...

Cosas que no me importan pero quiero saber sobre Just Dance:

Sobre el juego en general y el universo (no son dudas reales solo es mi instinto de vieja chismosa en acción)

Cuando cuesta en promedio el desarrollo de un mapa? Sin incluir la licencia de la música, osea todo el tema de diseño, vestuario, coreografía, edición

Referente a la anterior pregunta, que tela se usa para los vestuarios? O cuál la que más se usa?

Que es lo más tardado de hacer en los mapas? Los conceptos, la coreografía, el vestuario, las grabaciones, la edición?

El uso de los flamingos y los delfines significa algo? Que cosa? Si solo es un chiste interno de los desarrolladores, de dónde viene?

Sobre los bailarines, les dan pago único por el uso de su imagen o reciben regalías? Cuánto dinero les dan en cada caso?

Cómo llegaron al Danceverso DeerStan y PandaFan y cuanto tiempo llevan ahí? Se supone que no tienen idea de cómo paso pero pa mi no más se hacen weyes pq les encanta estar ahí

Hay otras formas de entrar al Danceverso que no sean con ayuda de Discoball? Cuales?

Por qué The Traveler es la persona mas poderosa del Danceverso? Es algo inato, estudio o obtuvo su poder de alguna forma?

Que hicieron Louise Dials y las Gaga's para terminar en prisión? Solo hicieron algo que molestó a NS o si hicieron algo malo?

Cada planeta usa su propia moneda o hay una moneda universal? Cuál sería su valor equivalente aqui?

Cuál fue el primer Cygnus? (La ciudad o el personaje)

Por qué terminaron Lilith y la coach de Black Widow? Quien extraña más a quien? Mismas preguntas para cualquier otra pareja

Jack Rose toca algún instrumento? Cuál o cuáles? Que planetas escuchan más su música? Afectaron de alguna forma a su carrera los eventos ocurridos en Enter in the Danceverses?

Cuantos pisos tiene la Torre Swan? En qué piso viven Jack y NS? Para que se usan los demás pisos?

Cuantos años tiene Vester? Bueno en realidad quiero saber si los vampiros viven más que las personas promedio pero también tengo curiosidad por el en particular

Mothigan está viva o está bien tiesa? JAJAJJ es una duda real, si está muerta, qué, cuando y dónde paso?

Quienes estaban invitados a la boda de Rasputin y The Bride? También cuánto les costó la boda y quienes eran los padrinos? Saquen la lista de invitados pls

Cómo funciona el Hotel Espacio-Tiempo? Tipo, cómo te mueves en el? Parece tener muchas escaleras y pisos pero no creo que los huéspedes andén de arriba para abajo todo el día, pensé en que quizá es autónomo y te lleva directamente a dónde quieras pero, cómo va a saber a dónde quieren ir las personas? Hay un panel con botones, te lee la mente o que pd?

Sabemos que el equipo de JD sabe de la existencia de los fanfics Jacklust entonces, cómo supieron? Que fanfic leyeron? Solo googlearon "Just Dance fanfic"? Y en qué página lo leyeron?

Existen betas de muchos mapas que no han sido oficiales (algunos nunca lo serán) pero yo quiero una lista con todos las betas que han desarrollado, no me importa si se quedaron en un punto conceptual

Por qué las canciones de JD Unlimited y las de JD+ están en formatos diferentes? Y por qué no las desarrollaron/configuraron con el mismo formato? Yo no sé nada de programación o servidores pero el chisme me gana jajaja

Ya no se me ocurrieron más, estás preguntas no me quitan el sueño pero seria divertido saber las respuestas
