the folklore of Taylor Swift - YouTube
youtube.com
For all my fellow #Swifties, I have a project on Taylor’s life & work. Before the #ErasTour, I began a slide deck for some family & friends who weren’t familiar with all the lore & Easter eggs. It’s evolved into “the folklore of Taylor Swift” 🫶🏻

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

The average American family has ~$6000 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies and ~$100 of their taxes go to SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans.
Remember—we don't lack money to serve our neighbors in need, we lack the money needed to satisfy billionaire greed.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

Also, many universities cannot even include a book in its curriculum unless there is a paperback in print.

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.

This Mariners team lacks many qualities of traditional Mariner teams. Things like ennui, hauntedness, self-loathing, gnawing doubt, obliviousness. They have none of those yet they are finding ways to win.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…
