when george michael says now i know what a fool iâve been but if you kissed me now i know youâd fool me again in a christmas song itâs just some first-rate stuff
This is a great piece of work so i suggest everyone to read it but here are some, in my opinion, most important parts of it
starting from the very end:
ââŠWhich should probably give you pause the next time you scroll past an opinion that seems precisely engineered to piss you off. Thereâs no doubt that Swift elicits a strong response one way or the other from much of the listening public.â
âThe more exaggerated the discourse becomes, the more it plays directly into the rightâs narrative that liberals are hysterical, moralizing, and incapable of nuance.â
âWhat Swiftâs defenders didnât realize, however, was that they were pushing back against a false narrative that had been seeded and amplified by a small network of inauthentic social accounts. Worse, they were helping to disseminate those bad-faith allegations by earnestly engaging with them.
Thatâs according to new research from GUDEA, a behavioral intelligence startup that tracks how such reputation-damaging claims emerge and go viral on the internet.â
âThe internet is fake,â says Keith Presley, GUDEAâs founder and CEO, only half-jokingly. He notes that some 50 percent of the web is now made up of bots. âThis is something that weâve seen escalate on our corporate side â this type of espionage, or working to damage someoneâs reputation.â

No sir.
You are a paramedic.
Your job is to stabilize and transport patients.
You do not have the training to discuss virology, cancer or vaccines
You'll need YEARS more training before that becomes a reality.
Leave science and medicine to the professionals...
It's genuinely amazing that Trump was being forced to shut down a bunch of airports/flights because of funding
And Democrats, right before Thanksgiving when they would have had insane amounts of leverage, went "cool, let's cave"
hank green basically made a tiktok saying if u believe taylor swift is a nazi you are brainwashed and beyond saving and some boneheads in the comments immediately tried to prove him right đ
People are acting more worried about Taylor Swiftâs merch team selling a necklace than the fact the Supreme Court is trying to weaken the Voters Right Act and that is why I cannot take this activism serious
the tloas comments sound familiar? thatâs because they are!
