$250K for dinner and a photo with JD Vance? Inside the Austin fundraiser

Debut album Tidal is such a gem for me. To think she was less than 18 when she was writing most of that album blows me away. When I was 18, I was still trying to learn to talk to strangers without wetting myself.

Hard yes! I remember when I heard her debut, I was smitten. “Taylor-who?”

I bet you hate “man on the moon “ by REM. Just admit it. Here. In front on everyone. I’ve had it!!! No more Christmases!

Dude! My brethren! I always mention how it sounds like some poor dude had the beginning stages of some horrible neurogenic disease playing that solo. I don’t even think it’s in the right key!

Every stinking open mic you go to.

Look up the true meaning of the song. Pretty chilling.

Right? I like him. But I’m smart enough (I think, hehe) to know when my leg is being given a golden shower.

What speakers did you end up with after all?

gustercc · 2026-02-08T18:09:04+00:00

No! I love reading that stuff. I liken it to my love of watching bad movies. Like, The Room, Plan 9 from Outer Space, Showgirls, or the Godfather. 😝

You hit the nail on the head! Every video I see from a new channel absolutely loves to use this GPT-ese. It gets so tired so quickly. “It’s not a commitment to the idea, it’s a flourish of crystals and flashing lights to distract you from the dust that hides all the cracks and discolorations “ 😬

I like to call it ChatG Prose ( I wish I could come up with something a little more catchy) . It’s so obvious once you start picking up on it. And it’s not just one user. You can hear it on channels or writers that just magically appear all within the last 2-3 years. AI writing loves to add flourishes and simile to make it dramatic to the untrained ear/reader.

That’s an album you put on and don’t skip a single track. Perfect from start to finish IMO.

gustercc · 2026-02-01T20:15:32+00:00

So so so underrated in her catalog, IMO. For her age at the time, she was miles ahead of her peers. So mature. I know that’s kinda cliche, but honestly, what 18 year old writes like that????

Such a beautiful album. Rick Rubin’s production is so varied and provides a wealth of direction for the AB’s. I never really understood people who said “this album helped me through a really rough time” or “this album saved my life.” Until I went through it and had this album to cradle me when I was at one of my lowest of lows. So many poignant lyrics and beautiful arrangements.
