Wdy think about Netflix making a major production studio near the Jersey Shore? 900 million in land investment.

That’s a big deal and it’s all going down right near where I grew up and worked up until the past 7 years. It’s going to be interesting to see if it generates local jobs or if everyone is going to be commuting from other areas, since it will be tied to the Unions that already are established 45 minutes north in the city. All the old parts of Fort Monmouth have already been razed it seems. Maybe they’ll keep the front gate.

I’m glad you are happy in your new home base. Didn’t know that your new home was considered the mid west. Logistically, was it hard to relocate that often? Also, is it hard to say goodbye to the old place or are you ready to move onto the next? If money weren’t an issue, what place would you most want to live?

It was easy to say goodbye to where I was. I was too far from anything interesting. My life suffered because of that one simple fact.

I would like to live somewhere like Las Vegas or West Hollywood if money was no issue. I still probably want to live in NYC most of all, but I can’t envision being able to make enough money there to make it work.

Life update? So many people have left tumblr.

Hello. I have moved back to the Midwest. I prefer the northeast, but I’m in a city with lots of cool stuff. I was too far from civilization when I lived outside of D.C. for the past four years, which followed my two-year Chicago era. I just moved to the downtown of a very cool suburb of a decent size city. If you wonder where, your clues are Woody Guthrie, Garth Brooks and (tangentially but definitely) Bob Dylan.

I do not check Tumblr very often at all. Maybe I will do so more often.

what did you think about her new album..

A lot of fun. Better than I expected. She has done a great job of explaining the context of the songs, to the point where even a harsh critic should admit she is being honest and true to herself at this moment.

FYI, Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes is required viewing for Swifties now....fascinating stuff.

You’re not at all concerned about the fact that Taylor is a highly sophisticated person in art and music and poetry and movies while Travis is (let’s be kind and just say) …. Not? Like “you know how to ball I know Aristotle” is only cute for so long

why would i be concerned about that? besides the fact that he’s a music lover, enjoys art, and has interests besides sports, you do not need to have everything in common with your partner. you just need to care that they care about their favorite things. they don’t seem to be having any issues so

Engagement in Paris mark my words

I already called that on 12/14/23.

The non-Taylor fans don't want to hear what she has to say or explain herself. That's the unique about her situation. The less she tries and just lives her life the more the people who do hate on her are winned over eventually.

Howard would absolutely want to ask about all the Kanye and Kim drama over the years, the bad breakups who just happen to have been with major celebrities, all the criticism/misogyny, etc. The things that she absolutely would never want to "sit down" and address even if done in some light hearted way. It's the reason she writes about it instead.

I just think that it never hurts to say even the slightest thing that reminds people you’re a real person and not some untouchable, stuck-up person.

Howard could probably just talk to her about the nature of fame and popularity, because he experienced something similar. I think she needs it at some point.

She would never do it. Biden only does it because he has an election. If Taylor ever needed to say something, she writes a song about it or would put out her own post about it. Why would someone like her who obviously has had anxieties about all the scrutiny she has received over the years subject herself to an indepth interview who will make her relive all the hardest moments of her life? It would only benefit the audience not her.

I don’t think he would make her relive the hardest moments at all. There are many other things to talk about, just as interesting as things she has put in song.

I think the primary reason you do it is to reach people you wouldn’t otherwise reach.

She basically needs to do it if she wants non-fans to understand her.

And he’s really a perfect person to conduct an interview because he also reached the highest level of fame and success by playing an exaggerated version of himself. And he is open about therapy and being a shut-in, etc.

......Regarding the rumor that Taylor would do an interview with Howard Stern:

It’s not even a rumor anyone will put their screen name behind…..but I’ll write about it anyway.

I wouldn’t doubt at all the possibility Taylor would do an interview with him, because she’s quick-witted enough to either laugh off his explicit questions, or give coy non denial type answers, it would make headlines regardless.

Howard is also good at mocking the entire situation by asking cartoonish versions of the kind of questions people expect him to ask - for instance, instead of asking about John Mayer, he might ask her about the rumors she wrote confessional songs about her secret relationship with ……Richard Simmons. (Or insert any absurd celeb name here)

He might ask such questions as: “Is it true you dumped Harry Styles over the fact that he has an ‘eggroll’?” “ “I heard that you hired gang members to beat up Kanye, then called it off at the last minute. Is this true?” “ "I heard you and all the Victoria’s Secret models had an orgy after their fashion show” “

Rather than just anger a celeb with questions he knows they won’t answer, he’s much more likely to go for a probing interview to find what they’re really like, but he would sprinkle in the cartoonish explicit questions because it is funny.

Such a decision for Taylor to do such an interview would really be about reaching a different audience than before.

But really it isn’t much different than her doing the cheeky British chat shows she did where a more adult sense of humor is showcased.

Last week, it was interesting to see people react to Aussie shock jock Kyle Sandilands asking Lorde if she had been in a sexual thing with Taylor. But as I said then, that’s just a guy doing what he always does, and I can’t imagine a situation where Lorde or her PR people didn’t anticipate such a moment. That situation showed that Lorde either takes herself too seriously, or just is too deep into her world to allow for cartoonish humor.

Bumping because today Joe Biden, the sitting U.S. President, is doing a live interview with Howard.

So yeah, I think Taylor needs to get interviewed by Howard soon.

Caitlin Clark shines on SNL, while Patrick Mahomes opts out due to past bad experience. Her SNL moment coincides with WNBA draft excitement.

This is interesting because it confirms what we all had thought about the dynamic between Travis and Patrick. Travis being willing and able to do so much media takes pressure off of Patrick and Patrick still gets paid his massive worth.

“i hate it here” is peak escapism and hearing her talk about how she lives in a garden no one else has access to in her mind (unlike the rest of her life) for most of the year is sooooo. made up scenarios and imagining living in the 1800s… it’s giving the lakes except she’s alone and she can’t actually leave. so much of the album is about feeling stuck and this one is about feeling stuck in herself.

actually i think the song goes into another layer of maladaptive daydreaming. the first verse determines that she hates her current life and is scared, and the second verse determines that she’d actually hate real life in any given time period. she determines that she’d hate the 1800s because “nostalgia is a mind’s trick.” she knows reality too well, and she knows real life is always awful.

in the chorus, she explores her mind and that’s the only place she trusts. and so now she’s dreaming of a secret garden, a hidden valley on the moon, and a new planet. and this new place is not the strongest or the fittest, but the gentlest. and the bridge justifies this need to do live in her mind even more. she swears she is fine, but she gets lost on purpose. she feels fragile and she wants something, and though she knows that the way to move forward is to leave the things that break her behind, she can’t do it real life; she can only do it in her fantasy and so she loves it in her mind. she doesn’t care, she’s gonna live there for most of the year.

Everybody’s got a hunger, a hunger they can’t resist, There’s so much that you want, you deserve much more than this, But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn’t that be nice, But this ain’t no dream we’re living through tonight, Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.

Interesting concept, yes? You’d get your climactic prom night scene, but they are chaperones that end up dancing with each other….
