I listened to Midnights on the way home from work and I'm not sure if I teared up more at Karma or at BTTWS

PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican: @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

I’ve had plenty of feedback for taylor’s business/marketing choices over the past few years but one that stands out as a favorite is having her dancers model the TLOAS collection. I know that it’s prob in part due to honoring the theme, but I’d like to think she also-

I actually think the people who most think Taylor’s crueler than she actually is are her own fans (and not the ones who are well-meaning and trying to keep Taylor accountable) bc wdym you think she’s a serial cheater, uses LGBTQ+ for a trend, has gross beef with a ton of other celebs, etc.

🧵 Ivanka Trump Lore

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! today is Lesbian Visibility Day on the TN timeline. WHO’S GONNA TROLL YOUUUUU?

I forget where I saw this (I think on TT, maybe it was @ginacatto.bsky.social ?) but her stonewall performance was on 6/14/19 which will be 1/12/26

I feel like a bigger point should be made about how algorithms, bots, right-wing accounts (especially made from users outside of the U.S.), AI, and news organizations being owned by the same like 5 billionaires has completely ruined the news

I totally think sewing division in the taylor fandom is being done by someone somewhere even if it’s not Elon. so many people are terrified of the swifties being such an actionable force of nature when they all agree on something

apparently people have been paid across the world to act as basically human bots. So not actually a bot but not authentic opinions. I’ve also been screaming about this to gaylors who fight w them online I’m like stop wasting your time on ppl with bios like #1 TRMP SUPPORTER DEFENDER OF FREEDOM 🇺🇸🫡🪖🎖️

Britney is carrying a wide red scarf/shawl. the red posts on the fence remind me of the way the scarf hangs on the banister in ATW10MV

Small change, but curious why? 🧐🤔 I think in the last twenty years, there has developed a more negative framing of crusading and colonizing, so crusaders doesn't naturally have a positive valence automatically.

poor data science methodology makes me literally want to scream. maybe I should get a graduate degree after all because some of the stuff I read is full of errors and oversights that I could fix in my sleep. grrrrrr 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

wow, what a clusterfck "Even so, the Times alleges, somewhere between 120,00 and 175,000 master recordings were destroyed in the June 2008 fire." The article also states we probs won't ever know for sure bc UMG didn't organize any of it.

I am not a date prediction person- but 5/5 (Publication of CW’s “coming out”) is 10 days from now on the alt timeline. Thats a Thursday. Iam ways weary around Fridays 🤣

She crossed the finish line 🏁 for the final Juno position!

🧵 I think a lot about the guy who infiltrated right wing militias. His story went public early this year. The journalist called him "John Williams". John Williams is best known as the composer for Star Wars. I'm not saying it's related, but the story makes me connect Star Wars with tRuSt iSSueS

On 7/11/23 Taylor attended Quest Love’s uno party, this year on 7/11 Maren and Jack released this song for the Ally Coalition. Today seems like the best day to bring these lyrics up

DB Cooperrrr, one of my fave unsolved mysteries ✈️ and also beloved, unhinged Mad Men theory from when it was airing lol

Now it's super official pagesix.com/2025/11/24/s...

You're telling me that 54 years ago today.... There was a historical airplane heist???

about a week after I started this thread, Leverage: Redemption aired an episode about a very similar concept. Breanna creates a character/persona that will appeal to the prejudices of the bad guys she wants to take down. she hires someone to play him in real life (mild spoilers in the screenshots)

🧵 "it's ME!" I have a theory that "me" is not always a pronoun in Taylor's work. "you" and "he" are often two separate people in Taylor's songs. I think the same is true of "I" and "me" I think "ME" is a name! And it's a name for a human being that exists independently of Taylor: William Bowery

Hmmmmmm the same day we get two vinyls very similar to this this album variant.

the "I Wanna Be a Producer" scene reminds me a lot of the pageant scene in the 'Bejeweled' music video

the accounting office Leo Bloom works at looks a lot like the office in 'Fortnight' four rows of identical desks, adding machines that look similar to typewriters, and cabinets lining the walls

🧵 The Producers (2005) parallels to Taylor's art + misc thoughts

Every whisper, of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up 🎶🎶🎶. That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion Trying to keep up with you

if you zoom in, you can see that this book is 'Secret Lives of U.S. Presidents' by Cormic O'Brien. this is one (of many) things that helped me predict the recent sex scandal Trump is going through. (I'll link that thread of predictions below).

reminder that Elon breaking up with Trump in June was on the anniversary of the Matty Healy breakup. which was a timeline I predicted in April.

March 16, 2023 Taylor Swift: "In my Eras era. 💅🏼" March 17, 2023 Elon Musk: "🚬"

Taylor was in political spaces as far back as Speak Now era, though she downplays it. lots of stuff with Britney's conservatorship ties back to shady financial dealings with Russia. and the US government finances movie propaganda all the time (see Marvel). They're certainly doing it with music too.

which sounds outrageous until you actually trace the money and the networking connections they have. KPop artists do a lot of diplomacy work. Prince Harry is working with Elton John and like 100+ celebrities (this made the news) to take down the tabloid blackmail rings.

which makes sense given the HUGE overlap between politics and the entertainment industry. but NewRos only recently started to show their hand re: how much power they've acquired. which is why they started looping fans in. because they have their sights on taking over the world.

there's so much happening!!! based on the sheer scale of things, it seems like they've quietly obtained way more power than they were letting on. the more I look into the political side of things, the more convinced I am that they're aiming for govts, not just entertainment companies.

which is why I strongly suspect the "this is not Taylor's Version" shirt during Red was actually about politics. and wanting to destroy the political party/parties associated with red and build new ones with that color.

this is actually insane; I've never seen so many references to U.S. politics from KPop in one week 🫠 accompanied by the NewRo political motifs too ('Snowy Summer' by CLOSE YOUR EYES) interesting too bc I've had a theory since last December that 2025 would have a general depressing Christmas theme

@underthepink7.com I hope you're having an especially good day today! 😁 we both were SO correct

hypothetically speaking could you buy an election for the other team and use that as leverage over the other team to get them to give you what they want and then reveal that you bought it and use that + whatever you got from them via leverage to grab power back? doing a thought experiment.

the Handmaid's Tale outfit, she was the brains behind DJT's disastrous bible photo op in 2020, posting an original poem the day TTPD was released, several outfits/photos mimicking Taylor's, and the ig post with the rainbow jacket and two polaroids. she's Karlie's SIL so ofc she knows stuff

there is so much fascinating lore about her. from her brother's ex-gf spilling on Twitter that she (Ivanka) is a lesbian, to the bloody "Blank Space" cake she had for her daughter's bday right after the assassination attempt on DJT. to posting 'Untamed' by Glennon Doyle on June 1st. and so much more

🧵 connections between Taylor Swift's lottery ticket and politics this ticket was shared in January 2019, right before Taylor's explicitly political 'Lover' era

🧵 Political Art Threads & Posts

Ye-on wears a Howard Crew sweater. the sweater was made in collaboration with Howard University as an homage to America's first all black rowing crew. Kamala Harris attended Howard University. she is also an active alumni member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a sorority founded at Howard University.

🧵 Hey New Romantics you really should check out the 'Level Up' mv by DXTEEN the giant book in the video contains some kind of news article about Trump and Musk cheating in the election? and it starts and ends with something about killing giants? I transcribed the beginning part above the door.

🧵 now that Kendrick has everyone talking about the intersection of politics and art, I think it's a good time to share this: I've noticed that a new archetype, inspired by Kamala Harris, is being infused in fictional media. this started long before the election. and I have solid evidence.

the movie 'Long Shot' (2019) was referenced during SNL during a skit about Kamala and Doug. in that movie, the woman presidential candidate is encouraged to have a relationship/PR relationship with the Canadian prime minister bsky.app/profile/hair...
