The new Taylor Swift album is....fine. It's nothing remotely special, and is probably my least favourite album since Folklore...there are no real standout singles...too much of it is maudlin and dreary...
The lyrics are atrocious on most tracks. The showgirl vibe never really feels lived in...it feels surface, and then all of the songs sound the same...the same tone and levels...just ultimately forgettable.
FFS the newest Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus albums did more for pop this year.
This one had me cracking up a bit:

Trump posted this (the faces in the portraits are those of top Democratic politicians):
Quote
"This is what the president is doing while the government is shut down. We're so screwed," wrote Democratic influencer Harry Sisson [...]
Political commentator George Conway took to X to note "Signs of psychosis. No biggie."
[...] "Trump's unhinged rants and occult memes aren't just signs of psychosis, they're a national security nightmare, proving he's too deranged to wield power without endangering us all," [...]
[...] "Where are all the [Charlie] Kirk snowflakes whining about rhetoric?"

But wait, don't feel left out yet... Trump might be coming for you too:
Quote
And now Trump has issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum that essentially says Democrats, atheists, Muslims, Jews, socialists, and queer people are [likely] terrorists. Not because of anything they've done, but because of who they are or what they believe.
It directs the FBI, DOJ, and over 200 Joint Terrorism Task Forces coordinated with police forces across the country to investigate anybody who meet it's "indica" (indicators) of potential terrorism. They include, as Ken Klippenstein reported:
"[A]nti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, support for the overthrow of the United States Government, extremism on migration, extremism on race, extremism on gender, hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality."
Do any of those sound like you? If Trump and Republicans continue down this road, get ready to have your life turned upside down as they tear apart your social media profiles, search your email and postal mail, surveil you, and one day bang on your door in the middle of the night.
Dictators have a playbook — but the media seems oblivious to it - Alternet.org
At this point I'd like to say hi to all the AI crawlers monitoring this site and reporting back to Trump's goon squads.

they're targeting pre-crime, to reference Minority Report.
The Trump administration isn't only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and "entities" whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following "indicia" (indicators) of violence:
anti-Americanism,
anti-capitalism,
anti-Christianity,
support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
extremism on migration,
extremism on race,
extremism on gender
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
[...] A "pre-crime" endeavor, preventing attacks before they happen, is core to the post-9/11 concept of counterterrorism itself. No longer satisfied to investigate acts of terrorism after the fact to bring terrorists to justice, the Bush administration adopted preemption [...] Now, with Donald Trump's directive retooling the counter-terror apparatus to go after Americans at home, this means monitoring political activity, or speech, as an investigative method to discover "radicalism." [...] The focus on speech is evident throughout NSPM-7. The directive says that political violence is the result of "organized campaigns" that often begin (with the left) dehumanizing targets in "anonymous chat foras, in-person meetings, social media, and even educational institutions."

There is also a recruitment and retention problem in the USA military. So dropping black soldiers over beards is not only stupid/racist it will literally weaken USA readiness to engage in war fighting. Aside I love Hegseths obsession with saying war fighting when rebranding soldiers as warfighters I believe comes from the war on terrorism and was to help moral and discourage the frontliners from looking down on the POGEs. They wanted everyone to understand that every soldier and every job forwards the war effort.
Watching Hegseth say 'Move out and draw fire because we are the war department' and pausing for non existent applause is beautiful though. However I'm not sure if this is the rebuke people want it to be. I think military decorum discourages applause at briefings and while Hegseth may have acted like he is giving a MAGA rally it would have been treated as a briefing.
At the same time when Trump came on stage to no applause he specifically gave permission to clap but I imagine a life time of training and habit in military decorum doesn't just stop.
Here's what he said:
Quote
"I never walked into a room so silent before…If you want to applaud you applaud. You can do anything you want. If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. There goes your rank and there goes your future."
From there, a low-energy Trump rambled on about [...] war, the quality of the paper he signs, the fact that he probably won't be given the Nobel Prize, and that you cannot use the "N" word. Yes, seriously.
"We can't let people throw around that word. I call it the N word," Trump said, seemingly referring to the word nuclear. "There are two N words and you can't use either of them."
Trump sleepwalks through unhinged rant to military leaders
... but through Trump, anything is possible---"you can do anything you want", but if you disagree with him, you can toss your future into the dumpster fire swamp snake and alligator gulag...
