Nevertheless, RStudios attempt at being inclusive was clumsy and amateur so this ridiculous backlash is not surprising.

Can’t help but feel when a business gives in to a racist right-wing online campaign they probably didn’t believe in their ‘inclusion’ practices that strongly to begin with.

Well, screw R Studios for folding so fast. I’m so sick of people giving in to the right-wing.

All these elite media and internet types need to get their heads out of each other’s asses and clue in that regular people don’t know who Bari Weiss is and have no idea who just bought CBS News… and they don’t care.

I think Taylor Swift knows she’s the sort of celebrity that would have high first week (pure) sales and then experience a big drop so she does anything to make us keep talking. She’s basically what Kim Kardashian used to be except more calculating than Kim ever was.

Bari Weiss is CBS’s karmic punishment for giving us the Big Bang Theory.

Honestly, I’m afraid to look up Canada lest I find too many younger people watching Rebel News and reading Epoch Times. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

If my fave put out 800 versions of an album, I would think she hates her fans and was mocking their devotion.

Opened Apple Music and oh look now she’s got a deluxe iTunes edition.

I haven’t seen your posts in months and I forgot I followed you but I’m glad you announced the social media break I wouldn’t have noticed.

Ordered engraved AirPods Pro 3 and they will be delivered this Thursday. Non-engraved AirPods Pro 3? Those would take 3 weeks. How does that make sense?

Trying to imagine a major pop artist releasing an album with ‘Where Life Begins’ in 2025. Charlie’s BFF, Candace, could die from shock.

People are such prudes these days about pop music, it’s like Madonna didn’t even make the Erotica album 33 years ago.

I woke up really cranky today and I don’t know why but I’m sure it’s Taylor Swift’s fault.

Whenever Trump does something insane these governors are always like ‘we’ll take this to court!’ And it’s clearly working. 🙄

But I gotta say this site does need some more humour. It always feels so serious

Spent too much time online this weekend and discovered that Sabrina Carpenter lyrics make many straight white men uncomfortable while they’re totally cool with Taylor Swift’s ode to Travis Kelce’s dick. This is fascinating to my gay brain.

Hey Halifax and Dartmouth folks! Where is a good place to sell books? And what if I want to just get a table at a flea market to sell books, where should I go?

I’m convinced she made this album because it was part of the deal she made with the devil (and by devil I mean Republicans because the music industry is full of them)

Why aren’t they getting mad about Taylor Swift singing a song about having PREMARITAL SEX *gasp* the same way they flipped out about WAP??

(Just kidding! I know why.)

A lot of weird shit has been happening to my MacBook and iPhone since iOS 26. Slow wifi, weird graphic glitches, empty notifications, changing the side menu in finder (there were two ‘on my Mac’ folders?), windows not resizing when switching monitors…
