5. I think the weather is getting to me. It's been cold and damp and dreary, with no end in sight.

But getting back to the topic at hand, the thread at reddit ST3 linked to was locked. Possibly that was because the post was all about the people in the vicinity of Taylor Swift, and not Taylor Swift herself. I guess. I gave up pretty quickly.

I could easily find a post at reddit claiming that being vaccinated will give me cancer and that taking ivermectin will cure me of COVID-19.

Well, ST3, why should I believe a reddit post about ~~Taylor Swift~~ the people in the vicinity of Taylor Swift any more than I would believe one dispensing medical advice?

Happy holidays and happy new year, both of you.

She has no integrity SamuelTheThird Dec 28 #6

She doesn't need to do anything to benefit her career. She is the biggest pop star on the planet. FascismIsDeath Dec 28 #12

You're right, she doesn't HAVE to SamuelTheThird Dec 28 #49

No, she doesn't. She never had to endorse anyone for President. She didn't have to endorse Phil Bredesen either. FascismIsDeath Dec 29 #54
