  • Yeah. I grew up on country and remember her first CMT music videos during my formative years.

    Waaaay before she was famous, and all the teen drama songs were appropriate.

    But she’s had a death grip on that genre so long, her current competitors weren’t even born when she released her first album. Legitimately, her first song released 19 years ago at 18, I checked.

    That’s like people say all the “versions” are just a cash grab, but it’s more nefarious, for over a decade when a young female artists releases a big album for that demo, Taylor drops a new version to steal sales away from younger artists.

    She’s got a pure boomer mentality about it. She’ll never try to bring the next generation on, she intentionally and consistently puts them down so she can maintain her position at the top of the pile.

    There’s zero indication she can grow as an artist, and more and more people are considering that sad.

    Shes gonna go from the world’s biggest start to a joke very fast, but it’ll still take years to really start.



  • Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

    The track record for people using that condescending phrase while not understanding what’s happening continues…

    The smart TVs operate on Android TV, made by Google.

    Amazon uses their own version of Android, and that’s where all the shitty stuff comes from.

    I’ve got a nice name brand android TV, the only ads are “this movie is on streaming” or “this show premieres in a week”.

    I got a cheap Amazon TV in another room, in the same place for ads on the home screen, it has ads for random products

    There is a marked difference. They are “better” at this. Obviously no one in 2025 thinks google is “good”





  • It’s crazy it took this long for people to get tired of a 40 year old billionaire singing teen love songs…

    Every “good” album was after she broke up with a bf, because that the only relatable experience she has to her fans. Lots of people called that getting engaged/married would be the end of her career.

    She simply has nothing in common with her fans anymore. But she’s been a horrible person for decades, especially towards female singers who are younger than her. And now their fans are starting to realize who the problem always was.





  • Those things run on fiscal years, not calendar years.

    But if the House resumes, they have to sit the new members, which means there’s enough to force a procedural vote on releasing the Epstein list.

    They’d rather prevent that then do the single filibuster proof bill a year they can get past the Senate.

    trump will just keep doing shit and fighting in court than try to pass real laws.

    The risk for them is all this combined with the DNC finally pulling their heads out of their ass and fighting for down allot spots again.

    We’re not just gonna see a blue wave, we’re gonna see an actual.progressive wave of people who want to fight fascism.




  • Yeah, ICE want cops/NG to stand between them and protestors, but like in Chicago if cops/NG do t show up, ICE will shoot peaceful protestors with actual bullets.

    The real test is going to be when cops/NG are there, and ICE still shoots a peaceful protestor with real bullets.

    We’ll have to see which side cops/NG fall on.

    If they’ll go against peaceful protestors, or arrest/detain the unidentified and masked person who just fucking shot someone

    I don’t want to see it, but fuck do I want to know which way it’ll shake out…

    It’s going to be a major inflection point


  • I know people have been sharing picture of NG to joke about how they’re predominantly brown and out of shape, and implying Govenors/NG are doing some dig at trump sending soldiers he won’t like the look of…

    But that’s just an accurate representation of random NG selection.

    Hell, when I was active duty about 10% of my division at any time wasn’t even citizens. And a lot higher percent was obese.

    trump and Kegsworth just don’t have any idea what the military is actually like, they just go off action movies and are mad a typical soldier doesn’t look “straight out of central casting”.

    Fascists always care about optics over anything
