This seems like a tactical mistake. Leave K-pop stans alone. Keep Swifties the hell out of the fight. These should be etched into anyone's campaign managment Best Practices list.

To be fair the "not organic" bit is a masterclass in word efficiency for conspiracy talk. Clearly designed to engender visions of Soros or Obama making Swift dance on puppet strings. Nevermind that Swift's net worth is north of a $B and she has a track record of not being anyone's bitch.

The fights MAGA chooses are …. Interesting

My wife and I were just talking about this. She’s a big TS fan and not just for her music. She’s got Fuck Me money, could Kanye her net worth in half and still be in elite wealth territory. I’m not sure they want to pick a fight with her, all things considered.

I have to think the implication that she’s not self made but rather an astroturf project by the left wing power structure won’t sit well with her. If she wants to go hard in the paint before November, I have no doubt she could turn out serious numbers in the 18-35 female demo and it won’t be for the petulant pussy grabber.

It's easy, they perceive someone doesn't like them that has influence so THEY must be insane or part of a conspiracy theory against them. See also: "it's a stolen election because I lost" and "projecting about abusing children because....yeah".

Fear is the right word.

Suffer Well.

You. Fuck You money. I think fuck me money is different....

I have Fuck Me money, because that’s usually what I mutter under my breath whenever I see my bank balances.

Long Chile was a silly place.

The confusion is understandable.

Trump has fuck me money as do Elon and Bezos apparently.

This quote from her TIME: Person Of The Year profile, is probably already being tattooed on girls (and guys) around the world

“But I’ve also learned there’s no point in actively trying to quote-unquote defeat your enemies,” she says. “Trash takes itself out every single time.”

****

There are a lot of girls (especially) in MAGA-led households who would gladly "go against the family" if TS asks them to

Mobilize them, and you've got some serious firepower

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy

what hilarious about republicans making fun of her, is she already made a song that goes after all of this.


I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok
For me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you
I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?

Solid point. Fuck Me money is the kind of money that lets ugly guys get beautiful women.

That's what I was thinking. Is being anti-Taylor Swift really going to mobilize the MAGAs to get out and vote?

Is there a bunch of underground Taylor Swift resentment simmering on the right?

vice versa as well. But Taylor doesn't have either a broke or ugly problem.

Vote Swiftie now, is the US ready for a female president yet?

---

..........................................................................

Fuck You money is wealthy enough to spend money to fuck with someone, or to stop taking shit from someone because you’re not dependent on their revenue stream.

Fuck Me money is wealthy enough that you can do the former and not worry about the damage it may cause you. Bezos buying FoxNews and locking the doors just to put them out of business would be a good example of Fuck Me money.

There's a good question. She's too young to be elected, but not to young to take the oath.

In November 2024, she'll be 34. In January 25 she'll be 35.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years,


I'm going to assume she is because she wouldn't take the office until January.

The song is totally anti-patriarchy, and they just can't have that

Which is exactly why they are scared and trying to do anything?

She got 35,000 people to register to vote in a single day in September just by posting on her Instagram

I have a slightly different set of definitions:

Fuck me money - I associate with having no money, as in fuck my life (said in depressed manner)

Fuck you money - You are financially secure, could walk into job and just say fuck it, I’m out of here and not sweat it

Fuck everyone money - basically the 9 figure club, especially the 10 figure club, you can do whatever the fuck you want

Trump vs Biden - Taylor’s Version

I would love to see it happen.

---

The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W

Funny that Trump's lawyer in the 14AS3 case in Colorado made the argument that if a party were to nominate someone who is not 35 (the Justice used as an example his "27 year old kid"), and said nominee were to receive the requisite number of Electoral College votes, then that person could be the President. Something about "Democracy." That's where his argument about qualification/disqualification leads.

---

----------------------------------
"Go yell at an M&M"

Maybe the best thing I can hope for as a Republican is that they pick a fight with her and she goes after Trump and kills his chances. I'm not sure she has anything to fear from Maga, so.....

Edited to say, I don't want Trump to run. (Don't want Biden either), so I am in full favor of doing anything to rid politics of Trump running for President.

Fuck she is awesome.

In Taylor's Version, it's Dr. JILL Biden

If she was president, would she write songs about Putin, and the little guy in North Koreo like she did about her ex-boyfriends. They might be nice to her knowing they would be immortalized in song if they pissed her off.

She's got a blank space baby, and she'll write your name.

Not organic as in not from the grassroots? Deep state fabricated? I am with Randmart, don't play politics this girl and her band of followers. Why would Miller throw this out there? Testing the waters.

Related to Time Persons of the year and relations between pols and stars, I found this article about the King and Tricky Dick and a white visit and photo.

https://time.com/...esident-nixon-photo/

Something like that I assume. The key to a good conspiracy Tweet is to keep it coded and ambiguous like this one. Miller excels at that, despite my feeling that this one may backfire.

Now I want this!

And I don't know what I want more: a single female as president or an active NFL player as the first husband

Here's another line from the TIME profile

“She could serve two terms as President of the United States and then go to Las Vegas. Who else can do that?”

This is a bad idea. The American people don't need to find out about broken treaties, iffy alliances, and which world leaders are just the worst through a catalog of Top 40 break-up songs.

Slowguy

(insert pithy phrase here...)

How is this ghoul still a thing. Much like trump he just needs to go away. He is what we in the midwest call a slime bucket.

That might be one way to get a pass interference call!

I'm not a Twitter guru, but I take it as a bit of a positive sign that out of 2.7M views there are 11K likes. Which is not even a half of one percent. And an order of magnitude fewer reposts and quotes than that. And that 2.7M is presumably made hugely of people who intentionally follow him. So that one maybe went down like a lead balloon.

I'd happily vote for her over bozo or chuckles any day, and twice on sundays (Tuesdays?)

Pretty sure he means "not organic" as in not a carbon-based lifeform.

That's right, Taylor Swift is an alien.

What would it take to have this conspiracy theory well established by mid 2024?

'

I volunteer to do a very meticulous investigation to determine if she is an alien or a human.

I'm sure you'd do it for a song.

Most probably a spiteful and malicious one, but a song, nonetheless.

I really don't understand this line of attack. Do these people think that the general public doesn't know that pop stars are fully manufactured, bankrolled by big money, shaped and molded, etc? Do they think the general public believes that huge pop stars like Swift and Beyonce are really just humble artists, expressing their small town American spirit with sequins and hip thrusts?

What is the possible end game these knuckleheads think they're going to achieve? Other than clicks for their socials (obviously)?

---

Slowguy

(insert pithy phrase here...)

This is interesting. I've been seeing a lot of people saying that she sucks in the comments sections of TSwift videos. I was surprised to see that the were mainly middle aged white people. A friend had suggested that they might be conservatives, so I looked at their profiles and found a significant amount of evidence (the usual......US flags, prayers, rigged election conspiracies).

One had even commented that her entire career had been "scripted every step of the way."

*sigh* whatever. But seriously, what a bunch of ass holes.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Stupid people are easy to program.

If Travis Kelce's Chiefs should lose today, The Swifties will not say "The game was RIGGED!!!" or "The game was STOLEN!!!"

They'll say "some great songs are going to come out of this!!!"

Make of that what you will

That is real. That's Jason Kelce, Travis' brother.

no sponsors | no races | nothing to see here

Eagles roster has him at 6'3" 295

That looks about right

FYI: the other two singers in the "Philly Specials"
band (Tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata) are listed at 6'6" 325 and 6'8" 365, respectively, so Kelce is the "little one"

Ijust love how excited he is over his brothers success. Really cool to see ....although I hate Mahomes so I hope their clocks get cleaned by Baltimore.

I keep forgetting to catch their podcast. The only one I've seen was a clip early in the season when Jason sorted a bunch of players - and a couple of coaches - into their Hogwarts houses (not only did he put Belichek into Slytherin, he compared him to Voldemort LOL that could come back to haunt him)

2AM another whole album. Friday will be a vacation day for Swiftie's to decipher meanings of every word on the 2 hr tracks

I wonder what the song, "whose afraid of little old me" is about???

/old man Swiftie just finishing a first listening.

I streamed it at midnight during an overnight shift. Haven’t formed an opinion yet.

The wife’s preordered copy is awaiting her return.

I'm easily confused.

What's the difference between ordering a copy and preordering?

Is it like prepreparing food or presale items? Which seem to basically mean preparing and sale.

Order it before it’s available to ship.

Watching her concert movie with my wife right now. She is pretty amazing. I can see why she is so popular......and why the MAGA chuds are so scared of her.

And they have to re-press it - basically, a First Edition

Spotify reported a record smashing 300 million streams of her new album in the first 24 hours.

Nah, MAGA doesn't have anything to worry about. :-)

Who'd've guessed Fox News would find a negative way to cover it.

Also, shouldn't professional copywriters know how to craft a sentence that doesn't confuse the reader? For clarity, the article was published anonymously because of a previous threat. The album wasn't given a harsh review because of it.

Taylor Swift's new album receives harsh review by anonymous author due to 'threats of violence'

Eliot
blog thing - strava thing

The most maddening clickbait technique these days is having a clickbait headline, and then you start reading it, and it's just paragraph after paragraph of meaningless filler before you get to the who/why/what/when/where.

I assume this is to maximize some tracked metric, like how long an ad stays in the view of the reader.

But I'll get to the about the 3rd pargraph and then if I sense that tactic, it's a permanent personal ban hammer to the whole site that hosted it.

it's like recipe blogs, but for news

you're right, it's for teh metricz

my hate burns strong for it
