For some values of "random," "celebrity" and "news." avid Strom at Hat Hair claims Taylor Swift Is Not a PsyOp: Human Events@HumanEvents, "It's no secret
that Taylor Swift is immensely popular among the younger generation, but is
the media helping push her and the DINK (dual income, no kids) lifestyle she
promotes on Americans? Jack Posobiec and Evita Duffy say yes."
The theory is based on an obvious fact: you can’t escape Taylor Swift these
days. She is always on TV–even hanging out with Mr. Double Jab Travis
Kelce-MaAuto. She graces the cover of Time Magazine. And her music is
everywhere.
For some reason, many in Trumpworld have decided to
take aim at Swift and declare her sudden ubiquity in the media to the scheming
of nefarious actors. I attribute it to the fact that she attracts eyeballs in
a valuable demographic.
As something of a Swiftie–well, maybe not, but I liked her album 1989–I can
confidently say that Taylor Swift’s ubiquity is nothing new. It is only
notable because a new demographic is being exposed to her–the viewers of
Kansas City Chiefs football games. This, it turns out, is a demographic
less likely than most to pay attention to the comings and goings of Swift, so
it may seem odd that she appears to be everywhere.
It isn’t. It is
called celebrity. Few conservatives that I know are deeply invested in
celebrity culture, but then again, few Millennials are deeply invested in the
NFL or read Time Magazine, so it washes out.
Swift, who stayed out
of politics for most of her career, has come out as a liberal, and this seems
to be a key point in the conspiracy theory.
A liberal celebrity? Knock me over with a feather! Beege Welborn at Hat Hair

Anyone Notice Lady Gaga Shilling for Pfizer?
The genocidal profiteers trafficking in human misery in Pfizer’s marketing
department, before whom Josef Goebbels would flush with envy, recently
hijacked one of my YouTube crust punk videos (wrong demo, no disposable
income) to sell migraine pills — this time featuring Lady Gaga. Via
Pfizer:
“An Academy Award®, Golden Globe® Award, and 13-time Grammy® Award-winning
actress and philanthropist, Lady Gaga was diagnosed with migraine when she
was 14 years old, and it has had a profound impact on her life.
‘Lady
Gaga’s story is a powerful reminder of how significantly migraine affects
the lives of so many people,’ says Angela Lukin, Global Primary Care and
U.S. President, Pfizer. ‘We believe that this collaboration will help raise
awareness of this often ‘silent’ disease and inspire those living with
migraine to have conversations with their healthcare providers about the
best way to manage their condition’”
By showcasing Lady Gaga’s experience, Pfizer hopes to help people better
understand the effect migraine can have on their lives and to show people
living with the disease that they are not alone.”
Translating the PR speak: “By showcasing Lady Gaga’s plastic-surgeried-to-hell
avatar for NPC millennial/zoomer rubes on DeepStateTube, Pfizer hopes to open
new profit-generating avenues with a non-geriatric audience that has thus far
avoided our ads that saturate CNN or Fox News.”

She has migraines and likes money, Pfizer has a useful drug for migraines, and
lots of money. Seems like a natural fit to me. To Beege, at least you noticed

Founding Member Of Dixie Chicks Killed
A founding member of the Dixie Chicks, Laura Lynch, was killed Saturday in a
car accident in Texas, according to a press release. Texas
authorities stated that the 64-year-old musician had gotten into a head-on
collision with another
vehicle
that was attempting to pass on a two-way highway.
A
preliminary report indicates Lynch was driving eastbound on U.S. 62 when
another driver traveling westbound attempted to pass another
vehicle
on a “two-way undivided portion” of the highway, according to the press
release. Following the head-on collision, the westbound driver’s vehicle
caught fire while Lynch’s vehicle rested inoperable in the wastbound lane.
The Dixie Chicks founding member was pronounced dead on the scene by
authorities, according to the press release. The other driver was rushed to
a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities
reported.

‘Oh, We’re Halfway There’ "Why has Jake Bongiovi proposed to Milly Bobby Brown so young?"
Because I don’t watch much TV except news and sports, I know almost nothing about Millie Bobby Brown, one of the stars of a popular Netflix science-fiction series, Stranger Things. As for her fiancé, well, his dad used to be kinda popular in the 1980s, and maybe still is, if you count karaoke singalongs. When their engagement made headlines in April, there was a good deal of journalistic chatter: “Oh, they’re so young!”
Georgia and I weren't a lot older when we got engaged, back in the 70s.
Really? During the 1950s, the median age at first marriage for women in the United States was 20.3 years, which is to say that nearly half of weddings involved teenage brides. Such was life in the Golden Age of middle-class America, when Dwight Eisenhower was president. You would probably risk a United Nations human rights investigation if you advocated a return to the 1950s status quo ante, what with all the propaganda directed toward denouncing “child brides” (by which they mean any girl marrying before age 18). This is why Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement at 19 was “controversial,” as if she were a helpless child in a Third World village being bartered off by a tribal leader in some kind of primitive exchange where the father of the bride gets a herd of goats.
She's worth at least one small herd of goats.
