Taylor Swift was told to make another country album. That is everything that made her successful. It was a sure bet. It is what suits required. And it is what she was commanded. She slightly relented. Taylor Swift made a pop country album. In Red. And told everyone to fk off. I am making 1989.

"The Life of a Showgirl" surprised people because it is not what anyone expected or wanted. Especially of the set that that follows her closest. Which, when you are arguably the most famous woman in the world – is your most prominent set of critic. Is a meta point I will make later on.

Remember all complaints about Taylor Swift are about a woman who wants to win and does and that makes them mad. There is zero reason to be mad about Taylor Swift unless ur dumb.

‘The Life of Showgirl’ by Taylor Swift officially debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 4.002 million units. It becomes the biggest debut of all time.

Re: Portland. I lived there is ‘85-‘86. As anybody from that time can tell you there was a lot more trouble to get into around town and I was often part of the trouble. So, when my band played Pioneer Courthouse a couple years back, after the show I walked EVERYWHERE downtown.

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Since it's Black Speculative Fiction Month, I thought I'd share a story I love by a Black author each day. Since I'm starting 10 days in, I'll post a bunch to catch up. I'm going to do 15 from the Top 80 of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and 15 from Lightspeed/Nightmare.

Washington Supreme Court Justice Mungia has an extraordinary opinion condemning "the underlying racism and prejudices that are woven into the very fabric" of SCOTUS opinions about Native people. "We must clearly, loudly, and unequivocally state that was wrong.” www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf...

Almost twenty thousand dead kids. TWENTY THOUSAND DEAD KIDS.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

I don't know who needs to hear this but many of Emperor's lyrics get very funny if you just append the phrase "as it were" at random to, like, one line out of every three songs

NEW: Reporting from @politico.com reveals that the White House is ramping up its pressure campaign to gerrymander red states, going as far as promising “consequences” to Republican lawmakers who don’t fall in line. This is dangerous new territory for our nation. politi.co/4nDMcKk

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

Hey, if you love someone go tell them, please. Right now. It won’t take long. Just send them a DM or a text or just do it on main. Whatever it is, just go do it. People need to know how much you love them.

@swiftonsecurity.com so I like watching planespotting streams, and whenever I see a 747 come across another 747, or even a small 747 nest, I hope it's like... "HEY GUYYYYSSSSSSSS. "
