    I’m wondering, why, 7 days out from utter disaster, wouldn’t Taylor Swift get on a fucking stage with Kamala Harris, other than self preservation. Are the stakes not high enough? I mean, she endorsed Kamala, but, come on. It’s a big ask, but, doesn’t Taylor have enough fuck you money to be alright either way? We are headed for apocalyptic decimation if Trump wins again. Turn to the end of the Christian book or Revelation, it’s gonna be worse than that.

      it’s a big ask

      I don’t know about that. Off the car lot it’s just a big request.

      It’s like how champagne is just ‘sparkling wine’ outside of that one region of France.

    The former first daughter

    Is this really a thing? I know about “First Lady” and I think that’s fine, but “first daughter”? That’s kinda whack.

      It’s a commonly used term. The President’s family is the First Family. All children are the First Son/First Daughter even if there are several siblings. “First Lady” isn’t an official term; it’s not mentioned in the Constitution as an actual position but traditionally it is a thing.

        The first time I heard this term, I was so confused both as a young kid and as a child of immigrants (at that time, English was not my first language).

        I couldn’t understand why they were first and then when another president came in they were first again.

          “First Grandchild” has been used previously (mostly tabloids), but I think the “first” term is usually limited to immediate family

              By definition? No.

              But if there was a situation like that, I’m willing to bet people would default to using the “first” title anyway out of custom.

          Nope, First Grandchild (or possibly just ignored). “Second” is for the VP.

          Doug Emhoff is currently the “Second Gentleman”

              Eh, I feel worse knowing how easily accessible that knowledge was for me. I’m sure your brain was temporarily occupied by useful knowledge

                I just lack information recall, and prefer interaction via asking humans over a search. It’s definitely something I knew, hence the duh.

                  I was alluding to recall vs. implicit memory, but yeah. I wasn’t suggesting that you didn’t know the fact, I’m suggesting that perhaps your mind is less filled with the noise of factoids shouting themselves out at you.

                  I hope I’m correct in this assumption. Everyone deserves to be able to sit in personal silence.

    I just love how Sorkin took control of the campaign right after it did the one good thing it’s done (Walz). For all of our sakes I hope it works.

    Is “breaks silence” the “slams” equivalent in headline writing when someone gives an opinion?
