Well, I didn't hate Horizon (part 1) although that may have been the 2 G&T's I downed beforehand. It felt more like mediocre TV rather than a film - LMS Jun 25, 03:09 3

My sister asked if basketball was in the summer Olympics. Yes, she knows but was double checking since that season ended shortly before hockey. -- nm - . Jun 24, 23:16 1

- "hurrr durr, Biden needs extra prep time, Trump doesn't need any, Biden is not mentally fit!" - morons -- nm - Tim Jun 24, 20:09 1
  - Why keep repeating Republican talking points even in jest. In case you haven't noticed, ST Republicans are leaving this site and rightfully so. -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 02:10
McDavid Conn Smythe..huh -- nm - budice Jun 24, 20:06 1

Your top 10 songs: Please Please Please, I Had Some Help, A Bar Song (Tipsy), Espresso, Million Dollar Baby, Not Like Us, Too Sweet, Beautiful Things, Lose Control, Birds of a Feather -- (edited) - Tim Jun 24, 19:56 27
- Whoa, great job on the IM. See, now I feel like I'm participating -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 00:57
- It’s far too early in the summer for the Top 10 to be this mediocre. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 20:29
- I'm sure she'll release another version with new songs, but I'm calling it: TTPD doesn't have a real hit, Taylor is officially indestructible. - Tim Jun 24, 20:05 22
  - She's been ruthless in releasing the Variants of her albums with a new song or two to keep atop of the record charts -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 20:59
  - Agreed on all counts. She's easily the biggest star on the planet, but doesn't have culturally relevant songs anymore. - MDH Jun 24, 20:07 20
    - to be fair. you and I are out of her demo. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 20:57 1
      - I'm gay and in my 30s, that's the second largest demo at a Swift concert. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 20:58
    - ah, that’s right, you think she’s mediocre. - i.b.! Jun 24, 20:24 [Backboard] 17
      - Taylor Swift without a doubt has major culturally impact. Her songs haven't had an impact in a decade. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 20:56 3
        
        it's me. Hi. I'm the problem it's me. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jun 25, 04:57
        
        What does that mean exactly? And what are the examples of songs in the top 10 that have had an impact in the last decade? -- nm - Max Jun 24, 21:36
        
        I just realized you may have meant her recent music earlier this year, too. I still disagree, but at least it’s good to see you acknowledge overall impact exists. -- (edited) - i.b.! Jun 24, 21:15 [Backboard]
      - I think the point is that she's culturally important in many ways that are far bigger than just her songs. - znufrii Jun 24, 20:38 5
        
        oh yah, I got Tim’s point there. - i.b.! Jun 24, 20:46 4
        
        I'm not diminishing her, I literally said she's the biggest star on the planet. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 20:57 3
        
        I meant diminishing her cultural impact, the cultural impact of her songs. including recent ones. maybe I don’t get what metric you’re using. — nm - i.b.! Jun 24, 21:11 2
        
        It's an attempt to compartmentalize the Taylor Swift phenomenon from a critical perspective, not diminish it, and there's one illustration of it that comes to my mind, regarding TTPD specifically -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 24, 21:22 1
        
        some people did that for sure, but a whole lot of people have no interest. - i.b.! Jun 24, 21:41
      - Yeah, I think the issue was over saturation. She’s got too much out. She won’t release anything but a Taylors version for a couple years now. -- nm - pmb Jun 24, 20:28 2
        
        She only has Reputation and her debut left to release. -- nm - Tim Jun 24, 20:37 1
        
        She's definitely at an inflection point after that, though. TTPD didn't leave much emotional landscape left unexplored - znufrii Jun 24, 20:44
      - i think she's talented in myriad ways but also mostly agree with Neil Tennant that she doesn't have a body of iconic hits in the same way as Madonna - hollywood big shot Jun 24, 20:27 3
        
        I’d never compare her overall career as of now to madonna, because that’s just wrong with 4-5 decades and early impact in a different time; but there - i.b.! Jun 24, 20:41
        
        (like is it more or less impressive that she has the cultural impact she undeniably has without being as ubiquitous on MTV as Madge was for 20 yrs?) - hollywood big shot Jun 24, 20:31 1
        
        I think there are probably some very interesting parallels to explore there. -- nm - znufrii Jun 24, 20:56
- Cannot believe that's her #1 instead of Espresso. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 19:58 1
  - I think it got a big boost from some hugely-followed social media folks. - i.b.! Jun 24, 20:12
Dammit. Sorry, my friend. :( -- nm - David Jun 24, 19:54
Well ,fuck. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 19:54 3

from b2, better results for using shredded cheese in fully melty recipes if you (don’t hurt me).. - i.b.! Jun 24, 19:42 1
- Yep. That plus ... adding some pasta water may have been a mistake -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 19:48
Lately I have an irrational renewed desire to sink AirBNB because of the precious tone of their incessant ads. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 19:34
