Predominantly white religious minorities include Jews and a large percentage of Muslims. Atheists aren’t religious but it is a belief system that experiences discrimination.

Same! I AMA sucker for celebrity drama and marketing- so I was losing my damn mind with that snake.

I will come at you with passionate agreement

I said that money helps. But my point is that money doesn’t guarantee success as a musician. Paris Hilton flopped as a musician, Jessica Simpson could not sustain a career as a pop star post Newlyweds, Hulk Hogan tried to buy his daughter a music career—I won’t swear to it, but I believe all of these people had far…

I don’t think the left understand this concept. Without allies, there will be 8 more years under fascists and then no one gets their concerns even discussed. 8 months in this is what it looks like. How about 8 years? I am a progressive ally but making everything about white privilege ignores white skinned LGBTQ and…

1-I thought her father was a stockbroker, not music exec.

How does she not seem to be a good person? She seems generally nice, if somewhat petty and oblivious. Maybe I have low standards, but I think you can be petty and oblivious and still be a relatively decent human.

Yes to all of this!

Knot picky but, she won the suit... because:

No. Stop trying to throw water on my hairdryer.

God, I am so fucking over the left eating their own ... especially women. It’s like people ratcheted up white guilt to 200% and in my personal experience with family and social circles, it’s alienating allies. I don’t have the energy to be that angry and that dedicated to being “right”. Most people don’t and mark my…

I’m not the best person. Romantically, I don’t cheat, but I lie to my boyfriend sometimes. I drink when I get sad. I’ve plagiarized and I’ve taken drugs and I’ve cheated on other boyfriends before. I too rarely pay taxes. ($12,574 annual income... I’m poor and young!)

Also, is the whole song a dirty joke about a female orgasm and good male lovers? She’s incredibly terse and talking shit about men, up until she’s basically climaxing, when it gets whoozy and enveloping and you’re rooting for her (therefore your) pleasure.

I like it! So this isn’t some kind of statement or something, I’ve just never listened to Taylor Swift. I know I’ve ‘heard’ her songs out and about, but in my day to day I don’t listen to music radio and am just not really exposed to current pop music except here on Jez. After her kickass court hearing I thought “I…

Same!!! No shame in my TS loving game.

First: LWYMMD is fucking great!

On Ready For It, she is indeed being serious - I agree with you there. But I don’t think she’s making a serious claim to rap? This is not, I think, Taylor’s debut as a hip hop star. On the 19th re-listen of Ready, during her spoken word bits, she definitely seems to be adopting an accent - one that sounds both vaguely…

I want to have 1% of her talent for revenge. My enemies would finally fear me.

This is a great fucking pop song.
