Wonderful news. A salutary reminder of the absolute benefits of scientific progress, and the absolute evil of conspiracist bollocks.

today's moment of calm

A woman dating a prior Taylor boyfriend talked badly about Taylor Swift. In revenge, swifties are tagging her in Instagram posts that when you go to her "tagged-in" page eventually line up to be blown-up images of Taylor Swift 😅

Takes abound but: the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is unbelievably wholesome and unprecedented for its cultural reach.

We need more nice things. We need more examples of positive unproblematic masculinity. We need people being social and emotionally enriched. Big fan!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at their proposal

💍| Ed Kelce shares details on the proposal!

"He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, 'let's go out and have a glass of wine,' ... they got out there, and that's when he asked her, and it was beautiful,"

I don't know any world in which Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce would be in the same room together, but apparently in this one they're married?

Tay-lore: Years before Taylor+Kelce (now engaged) actually met in real life, two fans went for Halloween as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as husband and wife. Somehow.

"Happy Holidays from the Kelce family! It's been another busy year for our little clan. Ed and I took a wonderful trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country in June. Jason and Kylie welcomed another baby girl in March. And our youngest Travis has decided to marry Taylor Swift, the singer."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announce their engagement on Instagram:

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery.

Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Taylor Swift with a song called Eldest Daughter is absolutely coming for a lot of our throats and we all know it before we’ve heard a note of the song.

Opining about the male loneliness crisis while women are losing access to reproductive rights, the maternal mortality rate is rising, and women are being forced out of the workforce is a real choice. It is a choice to ignore the deaths of women to promote the perceived victimhood of men.

🚨 Taylor Swift announces new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ coming soon.

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number

Y’all !!!!! This day is never ending OMFG !!!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

RIP TRAVIS’S HAIR 2024 - 2025. He cut it because the football season is about to start again I think. This image is a cutout of his hair in the clouds with text under it saying rip

could not help myself

Black and white studio photo of a grey or black shorthaired tuxedo cat sitting up on a small table next to a doll in a long white dress. The doll is in perfect condition and would’ve been considered very beautiful and perfect for little girls at the time but tends to appear creepy to modern eyes.

I know dolls like this are mostly perceived as creepy these days but at the time this photo was taken these were probably some little girl's two favorite companions in the world. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
