I was a sort of Taylor fan before all of this- she does write a catchy tune. Now, I straight up love her. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Attacking women that other women admire is not a winning strategy. (Commenting here because I’m not a paying subscriber at public notice).

It’s an interesting observation that RW media has swallowed the GOP-and it explains a lot.

On another topic, have you read the Murderbot Diaries? The crowdsourcing of morality made me think of this. I’m a fan of Murderbot.

Yeah; I'm not a huge fan of her music, but am now a fan of her pop culture presence!

Your piece on Murderbot reminds me that there are people all over the planet, including here, for whom dystopia is reality. And I don’t know what to do about that. Figure out how to dismantle the governor module? There’s a big gap between what feels doable and practical, and what would actually be effective.
