You are projecting this onto her, I fear. She would not put up with their bullshit because she simply would not do this. It is not in line with the goals and mission statement of Taylor Swift LLC

You're right there. If I could wave a magic wand: universal ranked-choice voting, primaries are one nationwide election the day after Labor Day (which is also a national holiday), everybody legally has to shut the fuck up about the election before August.

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

Things seem bleak but it’s probably a bad sign for Republicans that people have started mentioning their actual goals and political blueprint and their response is “how fucking dare you??”

I mean, I'd personally argue that the thing that put us here in the first place is that everybody agreed not to do a real primary, but it would also not help if they got everyone back together and said "JK let's do one more, a silly one this time!"

Every part of this is intensely stupid but "Taylor Swift moderates the debates" out-stupids all of it by leaps and bounds.

Probably the best thing my middle school choir director ever did for my depressed baby self was have us sing this Bernstein song that I've been obsessed with ever since. I don't know why everyone doesn't know it. I want this played at my funeral (legally binding) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDA7...

I wrote this while listening to an episode of my current absolute obsession 5-4 ("a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks"), but I'm also big into the smaller and (usually) sillier Respect the Dead ("the podcast where we don't").

I mean I'm certainly regarding this man 👀 but yeah I'd never heard of him before this, though I have tons of respect for the gorgeous, often profoundly urgent poetry from the Palestinian poets I've read (Naomi Shihab Nye comes to mind). How do you disrespect a poet?

Yes, the bizarre and radical position that bombing hospitals and shooting people in the back while they try to feed their starving children are indefensible actions. The October 7 attack was horrible too, but all the bombs in the world won't bring those people back.

That and how ingrained the "Israel is a US friend in a tough region and a force for good" mindset is in politics, and perhaps also the idea that if he doesn't support Israel he will lose in November and not get to help America more. So his attempts at peace are like trying to gently turn a train

That's not the premise of "from the river to the sea." Palestinians being free in their own homeland isn't supposed to un-free Israelis, any more than white people were oppressed by the dismantling of South Africa's apartheid system.

Voting isn't a "good job" sticker, it's voicing your opinion in a choice between your two options. If my choices of sandwich filling are turkey past its expiration date and a piping hot turd, I'm not going to sit back and say "surprise me"

Before the genocide in Gaza started, I fully believed that Joe Biden was fundamentally a man with a good heart, though often misinformed as to how to bring a better world into being. I don't know how to square that with his actions supporting Israel... I truly don't.

I remember before the shitty Walgreens near my apartment closed, I once spent a good 10-15 minutes trying to get toothpaste. Not waiting in the checkout line, mind you... pressing the call button for someone to unlock the locked case the toothpaste was in.

This correlation actually isn't a coincidence! When the CD was first being developed, they consulted some conductor(s?) who insisted that a CD should be long enough to hold the entirety of Beethoven's 9th. I think it was Herbert von Karajan (rest in piss)

There's something that feels good to me about the fact that albums and symphonies are about the same length. Yes, I would like to listen to one major Unit of Music. A lot of my favorite albums (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Jenny from Thebes) have that same interconnected, almost inseparable flow.
