Taylor Swift is popular, because she's the expression of an entire gender's frustration (multiple generations). This is not good news for old, white, rich men (GQP).

While that is brewing, more power to my sisters, my daughters, and women world wide. I feel fine. 😀

cares so little about that they've been spending MILLIONS on pumping out global digital ads campaign. I saw 2 while playing my regular Word Yahtzy on the weekend. You know who else is pumping mass digital & ad campaigns at same time? & - neither should be trusted.

Pimping propaganda isn't what ethical folks with strong morals & ethics would EVER spend millions on.

Corrupt folks need propaganda to survive.

msquebanh,

Their war munitions ads are targeted towards & their national security . They'd be less paranoid, if their government wasn't involved in manipulating for longer than most of their adult kids have been alive.

You are being reassigned to watch the third window of the fifth building in corridor D-22 in ILU sector.
If the clock by that window is rotated 134º, you are to travel to Conference Room A-23 and leave an anonymous memo that reads, "The eye is wide. Cycle all shadows."

Failure to complete this instruction will displease The Computer.
I mean... uh... I am The Computer, and it will displease me.

Remember, Old World religions are all lies.

We all know that thanks to Friend Computer, when we die we will be born again in a new body and given the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of our past selves.

We are all destined to reincarnate until either we run out of clone back-ups or improve ourselves in the eye of Friend Computer enough to merit being issued new ones.

All hail The Computer.
