What do Taylor’s eras teach us about Earth’s geologic eras? Buckle up. Ms. Swift is about to teach us geology. First up: their opening acts.
EOARCHEAN ERA (Taylor Swift) 4.0 to 3.6 billion years ago Pictures of an Eoarchean Era rock and the cover of Taylor Swift’s debut album are set side by side. Under each is a list of bullet points: ⁃ Earth in its opening act ⁃ Taylor plays opening acts ⁃ Earth faces extreme pressures and low oxygen ⁃ Taylor faces pressure to break out in a genre that skews older ⁃ Earth emerges in a form almost completely unrecognizable from today's landscape ⁃ Taylor emerges on a now-unrecognizable landscape: MySpace Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe? (Because there’s hardly any oxygen in the atmosphere)

Hi hello I'm a hard-working American and I'm angry about how many PPP loans for shady businesses I footed the bill for as a taxpayer so let's cancel those too, kthxbye.

Pres. Biden’s attempt to cancel student debt was a woke injustice: Forcing Americans who paid their debt or chose not to go to school to foot bills for ppl who haven’t paid back their personal loans. SCOTUS made the right call. Hardworking Americans will be better off for it.

I've been having some awesome trail runs and feeling super strong since I finished the first drafts of my tenure statements and I hadn't thought I was stressing about tenure but maybe this means I was subconsciously stressing about tenure?

Significant storm near Morrison, with radar indicating golf ball sized hail or larger near @RedRocksCO. Take cover with this storm!! Please continue to relay reports to our office. #cowx

And, this is why I continue to have little faith that Utahns will actually commit to water conservation to save Great Salt Lake before it's far too late.

Today is my 9-year PhD defense-iversary! This makes me feel old but also pretty proud of what I've accomplished and overcome both personally and professionally.

Hi, hello, this sounds like a symptom of financial abuse, speaking as someone for whom part of my abusive first marriage was financial in nature.

My husband loves to travel and always either pays for, or gets an upgrade into, the first-class cabin. When we travel together with our children, he buys himself a ticket in first class and puts us in economy or economy plus. He even did this recently on an overnight flight to Paris. He justifies flying alone in first class because of the cost, and the fact that our kids (12 and 16) might feel alone if I were to travel in first with him and leave them in the rear cabin. I feel that this is unfair. I don't think our kids would mind if they were in economy plus and my husband and I sat together in first class. Is that unfair of me to want? My husband has suggested traveling alone on a different flight ahead of us so that we don't feel badly about the disparity, but this does not really address or solve the problem of the inherent selfishness in his thinking. Am I wrong? We are happy to travel, and love going places together, but it is still very strange. - Name Withheld

Is there any better way for the new football coach to show he doesn't give a fuck about our community than to kick off most of the team and then buy this disgusting monstrosity? I'd say it should be charged triple for parking but I'm sure his parking is comped (unlike mine).

Deion Sanders just bought a new, custom Ford F-650 super truck. The standard model — without any of Sanders' additions — retails for about $150,000. "You gotta jump like Ja Morant to get in my car"

But I don't need my parking comped because I ride my ebike (free) or ride the bus (free) or drive my 50 mpg hybrid car ($5 daily parking) when needed. All these ways of transport are more appropriate for Boulder than whatever TF that truck is.
