          Although I will say if you wanted to write a parody book on the SJW movement, I can't think of a better title. But it's not a parody.

            It would be funny if Taylor Swift tweeted out her support for the IDF.
            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              Sorry I got the wrong tweet. I thought he was still talking about the one that mentioned Kriss Kross.

                  This is a series of satire/fake quotes posted on the day of the Golden Globes - in the style of RG. Hilarious.

                    That's pretty funny, though I disagree very vehemently with any attack on Taylor!!!

                      "Philoswiftie" has come to BYU:

                      https://universe.byu.edu/2024/01/09/...wift%EF%BF%BC/

                      If you haven't signed up, too bad. The class if full and there's a wait list. Sounds like this guy was born to teach a class about Swift:

                      “There’s literally no one else on the planet who I would want, or anyone (I) would rather have a post-game (conversation) about a Taylor Swift concert with,” Lindner said.

                      According to Lindner, there is more to her brother than what people first think. He’ll incorporate Taylor Swift lyrics in any situation or conversation he can.

                      “At the end of the day, Ryan is just this guy who just wants to talk about Taylor Swift,” Lindner said.

                      Lindner recalled one instance when Davis was quoting Taylor Swift to a fishing guide who had no idea who Taylor Swift was. Sometimes, she said, his efforts backfire.

                      But other times it works, even though people might not be aware. Davis has the ability to connect Taylor Swift lyrics to any kind of life circumstance that someone is going through, Lindner said.

                      “Honestly, I feel like my brother understands Taylor Swift better than Taylor Swift understands Taylor Swift,” Lindner said.

                          Political science is important, but it is not a science. This class is just more evidence the field of study needs a different name.

                              Hi everyone -- well, wow. I first posted in 2014 that Taylor Swift was America's Cultural Colossus. I regret to admit that I was wrong. She is actually the World's Cultural Colossus. Amazing to think what she's accomplished in the past decade. It seems trite to even try to list them. Most Grammy Album of the Year awards ever; highest grossing and most popular world tour ever; soon to have the most #1 albums ever; biggest star since The Beatles, but probably even bigger than them at this current Everest of her stardom. . . . And what is she, only 34? Scary.

                              What is it that the historian once said about America after WWII? That she "alone was untouched and healthy—oiled and muscled like a prize bull, standing astride the world’s ruined landscape"? So too Taylor Swift, standing without peer astride this otherwise culturally destitute world.

                              But again, sorry to be wrong in my predication of her being the American colossus . . . My aim was too low.
