This would be great progress if it happened.

UK to consider recognising Palestinian state, including in UN

Although not recognising a state we helped create with the carving up of the area at the end of WW2 is a bit odd.

She absolutely should be called out for her carbon footprint though. 138 tons of CO2 emissions in three months, 280gallons an hour.

Obviously it pales into insignificance compared to the Murdoch jet usage.

But a weird flex given how often Fox News hosts climate change deniers.

Her support for lgbtq+ and other causes has made her a target for the right wing

Ironic. Won't be anything to recognise after letting Israel destroy it. The UK government is complicit in the destruction of Palestine and murder of civilians.

Oh, I agree, and the fact that she really pushes for young voters to engage with the polls.

her carbon footprint

It's nothing compared to the flights her fans take to see her on tour

All her fault too, she's singlehandedly ruined the planet.

I did my bit for the planet by not flying to see her in concert.

Now playing on KEXP, Taylor Swifts new song…

“Let’s build the US a high speed train network to lower my carbon footprint (Taylor’s version)”

Breaking: Trump is reportedly melting down about rumors that Taylor Swift may endorse Biden in 2024.

An aide to Trump said he is planning a “holy war” on her, insisting that he’s “more popular” than her and that his fans are more committed than Swifties.

and that his fans are more committed than Swifties.

Wouldn't actually doubt that

Her fans would die for her, his fans would (and have) kill for him.

Trump should diss Steps, those fans don't fuck about.

"A man came up to me with tears in his eyes & said "5,6,7,8 is
derivative SAW manufactured pop"."

I’m tempted to run this one past my fourteen year old Swiftie.

Taylor Swift may endorse Biden

Time to be alive, etc

"Don't Say Tay. New Florida bill would forbid the mention of Taylor Swift in the state's high-school classrooms."

That’s smaller than Trump’s jet, so why aren’t the magats whining about Trump’s plane?
Magat hatred of Swift is at a disturbing level.

Which one is the athlete and which one is the pop star?

Apparently the Super Bowl was rigged. How is that even a possibility? Wouldn't you have had to bribe all the Baltimore Ravens to be shit?

It could only be time travel or semantics, given that it’s 11 days away.

There’s a whole lot of shady shit going on in pro sports, and if the Democrats want to rig the game then they’d better get in the queue.

Not too difficult for the Ravens, tbh.

Realistically you only need a handful of guys to be shit at key points in the game: a kicker who goes wide, a receiver with slippery hands, a defensive tackle who can’t keep up, and boom you’ve destroyed 3 plays and demoralised the team.

I mentioned this a few days ago in the American Football thread.

Interestingly, the ref did indeed go to town on the home team with flags, but sadly for the conspiracy theorists I didn’t see one that wasn’t justified.

It would have to be a long game played for the Ravens to fix the Superbowl, they got knocked out last Sunday.
