Who is on the cover here? I dont follow celebrities.

Edit: comments mention Taylor swift and some dude named kelly

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 2 hours ago

I only know this because he's from my area and still does charity work in the area, Travis Kelce. Honestly I couldn't care less about celebrity lives, but from what I've seen in local press he does seem to be a good guy.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I fucking hate all the attention Taylor Swift gets. Yes she’s a talented performer. She is not the second coming.

[–] DiskCrasher@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Professional entertainment. The most grossly overpaid industry ever.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

What I find hilariously, self-centered and tone deaf, funny is they announced the engagement on a day when across the NFL players were getting cut and losing their jobs across the league on cut down day.

40 of Kelsy's team mates lost their jobs on that day. But I suppose overshadowing that got the NFL more clicks and eyeballs.

[–] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

If those people took school seriously and have other skills then great, they'll do fine. If they've spent their whole existence on a sports career lottery ticket so they could be rich and famous and live better than us commoners, that was their choice. I'll save my sympathy for people who get laid off from jobs other than sports and entertainment jobs that are only about clicks and eyeballs in the first place.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

thats just the business of the league not everybody is good enough to make a team and nobody likes cutting players

Why does Taylor Swift get such a massive pass from everybody in terms of scrutiny?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like I see more memes about Taylor swift using jets then other celebrities. They're all equally shit though.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yeah true, I guess I meant more before this recent uptick in memes/criticism. I don't expect celebrity musicians to be paragons of virtue or fight every political battle for justice but I do expect...... something? Like a little bit? Have a spine maybe?

I mean she can do whatever she wants, but that is the point right, she can do whatever she wants she is an unbelievably rich white lady who politicians and other powerful figures can't touch without risking MASSIVE blowback in public opinion that money and distraction won't be able to make go away.

[–] admin@lemmy.today 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

relatability factor because of songs?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

Ok that would be the part I understand, I am asking about the part I don't.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

distraction of the masses from politics, a tale as old as time. people are too invested in sports/celebreties often are very ignorant of the policies/politics around them, and they dont realize this just a distraction from Class issues.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

Okay, can you explain why bread is $4 a loaf then?

[–] mikesizachrist@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This is exactly how i kiss as well. I've never understood why ppl purse their lips (you look like a duck!) . For me, it's always been closed mouth, lips tight, and aiming for the mustache, so our lips dont actually meet and my mouth never looks weird for the cameras.

[–] FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Hi sorry is this sarcasm as in you're making light of how Taylor is missing the guy in the photo or are you being genuine

[–] mikesizachrist@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

yeah im joking

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

look how much i don't care guys, i made a monument to the things i don't care about.

not caring about things is not a virtue. you want people to care about something else you should work on that messaging. "you're stupid to care about this" is reddit atheist coded bullshit that has never worked in the history of mankind.

[–] TipsyMcGee@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It’s possible to not give a fuck about Taylor Swift, but still care about her and her fellow billionaires outright destroying the world while glitzy magazines treat them as main characters in a soap opera, just going about their glamorous exploits and intrigue. It is fucking stupid to celebrate Taylor Swift’s anything, for as long as she remains a prime example of everything that is going wrong in the world: massive hoarding of wealth in a winner takes all economy obsessed with intangible assets (notably brands and song rights), excessive personal consumption and burning of fossil fuels, hyper commercialized culture mostly void of artistic expression.

I don’t mind people that like her songs, but I’m fairly certain Swifties should be designated a death cult.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

As many as one-third of the general public may experience celebrity worship on a borderline pathological level. source

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

better Taylor than a politician.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Better Carl Sagan than a pop singer.

[–] Logical@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they're famous is not only pointless but also destructive.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

i don't care about it but i also find the air of superiority from people who boast about not caring about this to be worse than actually caring about it. everyone cares about stupid shit. people just talk about this because it's more demographically aligned with women. there's disproportionate hate towards things women tend to like because we're taught from childhood that it's uncool.

guarantee most of the people shitting on it here either mald about some ladder they're unhealthily trying to climb, or have a pokemon card collection, or treat that one movie they found to be super cool as their bible or some shit.

let people enjoy what they like. don't act you only care about the environment and world hunger.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

because society pushes women to like these things under social pressure. it's kind of gross. there's nothing wrong with things women like, but this is manufactured. But hey, better than MAGA's worshipping drump.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

yeah but what i said extend to everything women and especially young women and girls like.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 19 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

People that idolize celebs are wild to me. Taylor wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire girl.

As I've gotten older my celebs are people that put tutorials on YouTube. Like oh shit, ishaan my favorite electrician just dropped a fire new video on neutrals and grounding on 3 phase. Or that one homesteader just dropped a short on how to grow bigger pumpkins, get the popcorn

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely. I wish Taylor Swift all the best, just like I do anyone, but I couldn't care less about her or her life. Alec Watson from Technology Connections? I'd take a bullet for that guy.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't wish all the best to any billionaire.

You're a fundamentally failed human being if you allow yourself to hoard this much wealth. At least tech billionaires pretend to have some sort of ideal goal they're working on but entertainer just be straight up pure narcissists.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I believe that the best for billionaires is to be relieved of the morally corrupting influence of their wealth, and I do wish that for them.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Imagine if Swift had a crisis of conscience and decided to do good with all her money instead of being a scummy resource hoarder.
