Yes exactly! Like, it's fine to put out a surface-level album that sounds good but isn't deep, but she doesn't need to do that.

(FWIW I don't actually think the album is Bad Bad so much as I think it's surprisingly bland and the first one that really feels like "I'm making an album just to stay relevant" and that kind of bums me out, ngl)

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

@mckinneykelsey.bsky.social's take is the right one IMO defector.com/taylor-swift...

CBS Is About to Hand Over Its Newsroom to an Anti-Woke Crusader. You Should Be Worried. She’s made a career railing against β€œwokeness.” Now she’s in charge of a venerated newsroom.

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

IMO it's a fun album about how being in a good relationship makes you boring. Relatable!

I think their actions make sense as part of a specifically Diaspora Jewish-flavored expression of the Revolt of the Bosses. The rich donor class and senior management are sick of pretending to care about woke liberal shit to keep their kids and junior staff happy, so here we are.

Important to remember that stories about children killed by vaccine-preventable diseases when they're too young to be vaccinated are, beneath that, stories about the loss of herd immunity.

This baby caught whooping cough from somebody. That somebody was probably old enough to be vaccinated.

I don’t have any perspective in this fight, I just believe in reading the whole article.

Matt, I do not have much of a social media presence and have no idea how to deliver a message to all of the amazing people who have sent me messages and been so kind and supportive so if that is something you are able to do I would so appreciate it. I am so overwhelmed with my world just ending but you are all so kind and so supportive of Kaleb and I feel so inadequate to honor him with his peers. Just pass along any way that you can that you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.

Kaleb Horton’s mom has written some comments and asked to spread her thanks for everyone online who’s been sharing their appreciations: β€œyou all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.”

Feels worth noting that this phase-out is for kindergarten through 2nd/3rd grade, where there’s a separate gifted track that doesn’t rely on pre-k teachers nominating students

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.
