Yes, yes, I agree that “Taylor Swift is just invoking feminism here to advance her own interests” is very boring and cliched and often advanced in bad faith; I’m so aware of it I almost didn’t say anything and regret doing so!

I don’t think you’re reading that Variety article clearly.

According to Forbes in 2018,

Why wouldn't Taylor buy her own damn catalogue? Doesn't she have zillions of dollars?

I’m sure this situation sucks for her and the music industry has long been exploitive in this way, but most artists don’t own their masters and she had a chance to negotiate for them (and probably frankly could have gotten involved with some other people to buy Big Machine). That’s more than most artists get. Her…

So I decided to read up on this because honestly I don’t trust Taylor Swift. In my eyes she’s the paragon of manipulative feminism. She’s only a supporter when it benefits her and her outing by KimK just confirmed to me what I was suspicious about all along.

It isn’t really revenge porn by any legal definition. Kanye used look-alikes in the music video for “Famous.” One of Taylor’s fans called it revenge porn and she saw the post.

In order to enjoy PaR I have to pretend Crisp Rat doesn’t exist and that Andy Dwyer is a real person just playing himself.

“Tribe” but also “squad” 🙄

(In Peggy’s defense, she does speak Spanish pretty well in the first season or two, before the writers decided to Flanderize her and the arrogant side of her personality became her defining character trait.)

:hug: in fellowship. We shall survive!! ;) 

...that sucker was, simple and plain.

Every time they try Spanish it reminds me of Jan Hooks giving the tour of the Alamo In Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

I think it’s hilarious that the only LatinX candidate doesn’t speak Spanish fluently (unlike Booker and Beto but lord are their accents horrible). I give to Mayor Pete for actually sounding like was speaking Spanish. Of course Castro sounded the most authentic but you know his ass kept it short as to not embarrass…

I am always very impressed by Pam. I wish Judd didn’t rub me the wrong way so much, but here he is doing it. There is no reason. He doesn’t say or do anything bad. In fact, he seems to be a good person, all around. And I detest Puck and always have. Why is it I can’t warm up to Judd? Part of it I think is that he…

There is one of these guys living in my town.  A full-time Dickensian cosplayer.  He petitioned the city council for an appointment to official town crier.  I would replace “strange” with “tiresome”.

My favorite part of the interview was “It’s not even an attention thing”.  I rolled my eyes out of my head at that part.  It is absolutely an attention thing.  Every thing this young man does is planned and staged for maximum attention.  But hey, he’s getting it, so go ahead, sir.

How dare you disparage Future President Comacho! 

More like a self-fulfilling prophecy, I think. It would be very hard for a child, especially a son (instant perception as competition by the Narcissist-in-Chief), to grow up balanced and whole in that setting. But as an adult, Junior owns his own awfulness now.
