I'd suggest however, that besides Jefferson, none of these figures were particularly important in 1776! John Adams was 40, Washington was 45, Franklin was 70. None of the signers of the DOI was under 30, and most were in their 40s.
@samfromthevault
people don't get how insane 2.6 million is. In 2023... only 4 albums sold more than that... over the entire year. In 2022, only two did.

It's much worse... he was spending the days naked with Jack's fiancee, now wife. That was his co-star! (he was a last minute replacement... obviously taylor got him the job since they needed someone that Margaret Qualey would be comfortable with naked)
@cansportschick
I mean she still hangs out with tons of models! Taylor often bakes for people in the music industry... lots of stories of funny stories of her in the studio include the line "and she brought banana bread!"

Always remind yourself, that Linus Pauling, nobel prize winner, inventor of quantum chemistry, discoverer of the structure of proteins, and general all around smart dude...
thought vitamin c cured cancer.
@satoraurgojo
i'm an academic. She's a phenomenal model, because a) she's familiar, but b) she's very upfront with her poetic effects. She perfect to show how literary language works.
@BejeweledFroot
@blackpopgirl
I think she’ll do it when they pay her. Taylor is really really big on artists getting paid for their work, and the Super Bowl is “for exposure”
@athenamount
the really terrifying thing is to note that she's been nominated for AOTY for 3 times in a row. And for six of her ten albums. Regardless of what happens this year, she has a very good chance to win it again. She doesn't appear to slowing down.
@sierrajasso4
Just to point out… Taylor can’t tour during the football season! She plays stadiums and those are in use during the fall (including in Europe!)
@NeelMadhavan
The thing about Taylor Swift is that ultimately... she's just fun to watch. Besides being stunningly beautiful she just gets REALLY REALLY EXCITED about everything. It's the same reason they show her constantly at awards shows.
@ThrowbackTaylor
By the way…. those numbers would make Debut number five on the billboard 200 this year… gives you a sense of the differences between then and now.
@dontblameklara
I mean this is a group whose first big hit was. "i wanna hold your your hand" !!! With lyrics like "And when i touch you I feel happy inside, it's just a feeling that my love I can't hide"
@mainpopgirI
just to point out... in 2008 she released fearless, which is the best selling country album of the 21st century, and one of four albums after 2005 (the post cd era) to go diamond (1989, 21, and 25 are the others). She's been A++ since 2008.

Not the home where the heart is in London boy is the us…. That’s the joke! “ They say, "Home is where the heart is"
But that's not where mine lives”
@SpotifySwiftie
@Variety
It can only hurt her... what advantage does she get by actually releasing the numbers? Everyone knows her tour was the biggest ever.
@VIsOnCorneliaSt
Latam isn't usually this hot, and the hot months are more like february. It's just a heat wave right now. The big problem isn't just the heat... it's the promoter.

it'll take a while for the movie to get through chinese censors... it will (it's not an issue) but distribution in china is complicated
@Noahpinion
Asian antisemitism is a fascinating phenomenon. Since there are effectively no jews in asia, there's absolutely nothing stopping people from having the most absurd conspiracy theories. You see this in indonesia, japan, and apparently in china!

the whole point of belgium is that the dutch parts of belgium didn't want to be part of the netherlands (because they were catholic and the dutch were protestants). They fought a war to that effect!

Not really. He can’t suspend the rules in this case without a hundred percent of present senators agreeing (since a motion to suspend the rules itself requires senate to be in session)
@christianIarson
@readyforiit
it was particularly weird for 1989, since it had not one, but two different song of the year noms, in consecutive years (for Shake it Off and Blank Space). She won neither. Incidentally, these are also 2 of Max Martin's 3 SOY noms.
@REDishFEARLESS
@taylorswift13
People are also forgetting... this album has literally sold twice as many copies as SOS in the US! And three times globally.
@blackpopgirl
It’s weird, because it’s literally the most common thing people who know her say about her. That she’s a genius and that she’s hilarious.
@babenataliemay
@TheSwiftSociety
it wasn't really for the tickets! It ws 61k to charity... most people come in with a budget of how much they want to give, and then bid on the items that they like
@joroulette
holy shit!!! "The feud with Aerojet is not Boeing's first Starliner subcontractor quarrel. In 2017, Starliner had an accident during a ground test that forced the president of a different subcontractor to have his leg medically amputated"
@CinamonSluh
probably the opposite... it seems like the reason that lana was in black was because they were going as Taylor's new album.
I don't think we have any idea what their relationship is like... besides they happen to both be extremely close to Jack Antonoff
@hanfranny
She quite literally has a sing about her fondness for Wordsworth. The fact that you don’t know this and probably can’t tell which one it is sort of implies she’s better educated than you!

@TheBardolator
no the poets is plural... it's also not a possessive per se. It's like the english department... it's not the department that is possessed by english, it's the department that is english.

She lived longer in Tennessee than Pennsylvania. she moved there when she was 13. Her parents live in Nashville. Her businesses are based there. She does jury duty there.

To be fair... the actual center of Yale Egyptology was and is in religious studies, which houses the copticist. But yes... it was a disaster. I was there.

Lover is going to end up the best selling album of 2019 bizarrely enough, in about a year when it overtakes Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleading
@ScuvyBob
@SwannMarcus89
that is simply not true. She gets about a quarter of her sales from Asia, where she is by far the largest foreign act. She's a bit less popular in Europe. About 40% of her sales are in the US.
@emilynussbaum
Taylor is often extremely funny… but people don’t notice because she’s not haha funny. I’ve got a long list of ex lovers… they’ll swear that I’m insane… I’ve got a blank space baby! I’ll write your name!

@zackkanter
Unfortunately, that's not how it works. While drag scales with v^2, so does lift! This creates the weird phenomenon that planes are more fuel efficient the faster they go (until they go transonic where lift to drag decreases).
@taylorstightend
The video was taken in LA... that's Conway Studios (Margaret Qualley was seen in LA so Jack was obviously there... Jack and Taylor were presumably working together)
@kimwexlcrs
Paul Mccartney has no choice in the matter. Beyonce by law has the right to cover any song already released (she does however have to pay Sir Paul his royalties as a writer).
@PunishedMetros
it's much much weirder then that... its actually a fight between the official hasidic court, and a schismatic group. The house of the rebbe needed construction so that it would be up to code... which the court was fine with. But the schismatic group didn't want to loose access
@mustlikeme4me
It’s a little sad actually… he’s probably not going to. He’s not a great actor and being only known as Taylor’s ex… isn’t great for a career.
@jamiebishop123
A bit parochial aren't we? This is an embedded system. There almost certainly isn't an operating system on the device! There is probably almost no RAM The choices of language are basically c, ada, and rust... and rust is a bit too new

I mean its not surprising... Pelyakov is a very very shady character. it's just a little unfortunate given that Pelyakov literally saved the company, and seemed to do it just because he was a space geek

If Aaron is on it Bryce will be too… Bryce does his arrangements when he needs orchestral instruments (Bryce is an extremely prominent classical composer). Arranging is a technical skill you need education in
