When I looked at the title of your post, I assumed that this was some sort of Republican group like the Swiftboat folks against Kerry.

COVID is frying my brain.

And got on Paxlovid the next morning. I'm feeling better, slowly.

The thing they don't tell you about Paxlovid is the side effects. The worst is called Paxlovid Mouth - you get a horrible, strong metallic taste in your mouth. I've been sucking on wintergreen Lifesavers killing to kill the taste.

15. The first time I heard of Swifties, I thought it was some political party in the UK!

The "swifties" this, the swifties that. But there wasn't any context. So I didn't know what it meant. So I thought, it sounded like the name of a British political party. I had no idea it was Taylor Swift. I had no idea that Taylor Swift was even part of anything political etc etc etc.

I resisted as long as I could, I really did.

Then I listened to TS cover Earth, Wind & Fire´s ´September´.

It was like a Monty Python movie...

She turned me into a Swiftie.

...I'm 72 and sprinkle my ass with glitter and call me a Swifty!
She's going to bring 10 million+ new voters to the polls. What a great way to save democracy.

..."Puff the Magic Dragon". But that was the gateway drug. And I never recovered!
I still have all my early vinyl. My kids can sell them because I'm not ready to part with them.

one upon a time mark zuckerberg started facebook but got into a pissing contest with elon musk. out of fear that his dick might fall off he swore he would never let a tweet appear attractively on his website, ever!
and he never did.
he spent all his time holding onto his little dick to make sure it was still there and that eloon hadn't confiscated it.
rumor has it his tiny dick is still attached.
