On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.

‘Inhumane’: 154 freed Palestinian prisoners forced into exile by Israel Palestinian families awaiting return of imprisoned relatives are shocked to learn they will be deported.

Palestinian families awaiting return of imprisoned relatives are shocked to learn they will be deported.

Remember:
-the Southern Border is artificial
-the war on immigrants is a continuation of the centuries-long genocide against Indigenous Americans by the US gov't.
-no one is illegal on stolen land
-fuck Columbus Day
-fuck ICE
-donate to native orgs tomorrow

"The rule of show business is, if it's the first week of my album release, and you are saying either my name or my album title, you're helping," she told podcast host Zane Lowe this week. "I know what I made. I know I adore it, and I know that on the theme of what the Showgirl is, all of this is part of it."

The Swifties are clearly not letting withering critiques from The Standard ("I was beginning to wonder if I was accidentally listening to a parody album hallucinated by some porn-addled AI") or Pitchfork ("Showgirl sounds like much of the pop music you have heard over the past 10 years and throughout your lifetime) spoil their fun. Addressing the mixed reviews, Swift offered the kind of "all press is good press" reasoning you'd expect from a billionaire brand executive.

But then I think, Who am I to challenge it, if that's how she felt? The point is: she felt canceled. She felt as if her career had been taken from her. Something in her had been lost, and she was grieving it. Maybe this is the real Taylor Swift effect: That she gives people, many of them women, particularly girls, who have been conditioned to accept dismissal, gaslighting, and mistreatment from a society that treats their emotions as inconsequential,permission to believe that their interior lives matter. That for your heart to break, whether it's from being kicked off a tour or by the memory of a scarf still sitting in a drawer somewhere or because somebody else controls your life's work, is a valid wound, and no, you're not crazy for being upset about it, or for wanting your story to be told.

for future reference 🍪

Rapidly spinning dead star's strange 'glitches' are oddly regular What do you get when you stare at the same dead star for more than 20 years? Insight into the weirdest physics in the universe. The star PSR J0922+0638 is a pulsar. Pulsars are neutron stars - the ultradense leftover cores of long-dead stars - that spin rapidly and emit […]

I suck at science but these are at the very least cool coincidences lol

Israel and Hamas said they had agreed to a long-awaited ceasefire and hostage deal, the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan to end a war in Gaza that has killed more than 67,000 people and reshaped the Middle East reut.rs/48RrstN

I don’t do this lightly and it’s already taken 3 hours to type this much. With my surgery a week ago. I messed up. Long story short I need help & I have no one to help. So here goes nothing. My cats are my life. I have no idea how I’m going to feed them in about 2 weeks. I’m struggling staying out

Someone posted this to make fun of Taylor but she literally references this scene 💀
Had anyone else spotted this?

“You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby”

Oh

We cant trust Trump or Netanyahu. But want Gaza for their own purposes. Jared Kushner is involved in the peace talks. He was the first public figure to describe Gaza as “ great real estate”. These are people with ZERO compassion

@somebodysmomofficial on tiktok posted this not only is there Laura dern connections but doctor who connections paris eras tour connections gigi connections idk seems important

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I love this TT creator. Her hot take is TLOAS is only as deep as you are. 👏 And then goes into the parts family. I have been following her for a few album cycles and she must be Performance Artlor adjacent at least.

This interview is the greatest gift of this era so far. I’m crying in laughing so hard at how brilliant it is. He knows. She knows he knows. And so they are gonna have some fun playing chess together

yep! That 3rd dimension is one that requires manipulation (as in moving things around) to see. On it's on everything is flat and stationary

omg I hadn’t noticed that’s soo true
