      Fuck that is gold. We need jerseys for public libraries. It doesn’t matter if it makes no sense. It is nearly better if it makes no sense.

            No, these are Librarians. They tend to be against book bannings.

            “My branch has 5x the circulation as your branch.”

            “Well mine had more story times! We are building up our client base.”

            This would be Texas, they would have private libraries, they would name them TRUTHberies, and their logos would all be blatantly racist and vaguely homoerotic.

      I would just like to point out that she’s almost a billionaire, in order to spread awareness.

          Oh Jesus christ, are you really that far gone?

          She’s where she is now largely because of talent and hard work, who cares if her parents were wealthy?

          Get over it.

            I listen to a lot of music. And I hear musicians that are objectively more talented than her, both instrumentally, and vocally. Not just writing, but producing and performing their own music, yet they do not make millions upon millions of dollars because they didn’t have a rich daddy.

            She cornered a demographic, with technically simple and catchy music, then with the help of her rich parents utilized her nepotism to get her career going.

            She’s the fast food of pop music. I’m sure as an individual she’s okay. But she is NOT where she is today because of her talent alone.

            Her talent is in marketing/making money through music. Artistically, she hasn’t risked going half a millimeter from the mainstream. Were she as talented as her (loud! Jesus, we already know you like her) fans think, she would be creating new forms of art unknown to humanity. She just found a group of people over the internet and a way to influence them to milk them for money with 27 million versions of the same album and merch.

            It doesn’t hurt being ultra WASPy and the daughter of the super well connected, super wealthy vice president of Merrill Lynch who basically harassed other people and companies into giving TS a space.

        This is true, and apparently she had a spat with New Jersey(? I may have the wrong east coast state), as she bought a house thinking it had a private beach, when it was a public beach, but that’s the worst thing I’ve heard her do. IIRC she ended up apologizing for the misunderstanding.

        I’ll admit I know next to nothing about her. She seems to be doing better than most at not having dragon sickness cause her to turn into a shitty person though.

          Translated: “Now that the innately talentless Swift has all the time and resources in the world to be trained how to write music, a decade into her career, she is rewriting all of her hits that were written by professional songwriters.”

                Ah yes, the “give all your money away” parable.

                Look, I don’t really care for Taylor Swift, but I can still say for a fact that she’s not entitled to give that money away. I know a ton of people are about to shit on me but it is the damned truth. If it were someone like Jeff Bezos or Tim cook, yeah they should do something with that money because they obtained it through fucking over numerous people. She solely got it through her music, and nothing else.

                Would I personally do something charitable with a large chunk of the money? Hell yes, but then again, she isn’t me, and there is nothing wrong with that.

                  Of course she’s not entitled to do so, no one is.

    Why do you want more people to visit their public library, aren’t fentanyl overdoses high enough as is?

    • Flying SquidOPM

      Public libraries are one of the greatest assets the U.S. has. They don’t just provide 100% free books, movies and music, both in the library and streaming along with free and usually unrestricted internet, meeting rooms and places for children to go, they also have all sorts of other services. My local library has 3D printers free for use. They have kits you can take out like musical instruments to learn to play. A new branch is opening and they will have a sign-up sheet for one person at a time to use a free shower and washer/dryer.

      But sure, it’s all homeless people using fentanyl. You’re exactly the sort of person who came to library board meetings to object to the shower and washer/dryer because it will encourage “them.”
