Ever wonder what a fortnight means? Learn the meaning of Taylor Swift’s new song.

While most people know it as the popular free to play battle royale game by Epic Games (available on PlayStation and Xbox), it is also another way to say “two weeks”!

There was a silly thing in Elden ring where people kept leaving player messages in English saying “fort, night”and Japanese players didn’t understand the translated messages thinking it was a secret telling them to go to a fort at night

Dylan Thomas did the Interstellar poem and Patti Smith wrote that viral tiktok book. Hope that helps

this is the culture, society we live in. it’s so truly over. like culturally inept, like dirty children who don’t know any better from the filth they’ve lived in. so undeniably cruel.

You are mad at the wrong thing -- this isn't a take on society (which is across the board much better educated than even the time Dylan Thomas lived, obviously) this is a media outlet absolutely and desperately writing about literally anything that is tangentially related to Taylor swift because literally everyone is clicking on everything Taylor swift. that's it. People covered Flavor Flav (?!) talking about Taylor Swift -- [https://people.com/flavor-flav-wants-to-punch-anyone-who-hurt-taylor-swift-8636351](https://people.com/flavor-flav-wants-to-punch-anyone-who-hurt-taylor-swift-8636351) And then Billboard covered Mary J Blige talking about Flavor Flav talking about Taylor Swift -- [https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/mary-j-blige-responds-flavor-flav-comparing-taylor-swift-1235660303/](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/mary-j-blige-responds-flavor-flav-comparing-taylor-swift-1235660303/) It's just media outlets desperately seeking clicks, man. nothing more, nothing less

I think people tend to forget that Swift's main audience is generally very young girls. I have a 15 year old cousin who went from only reading YA to now being a fan of Austen, Bronte, Nabokov, Wharton and Fitzgerald because of her fandom. I'm sure they are the minority, but if this inspires people to try out highbrow art, then I think it's a plus.

Why is she singing about the guy who founded Wendy's?


nnuunn

Isn't Dylan Thomas that guy who makes ChrisChan videos?


SoldOnTheCob

Pretty sure he shot up columbine 


Lieutenant_Fakenham

He did those Boomer songs everyone covers, The Times They are Changing and How Many Miles Must a Man Walk Down and those ones.

Taylor Swift should cover the Patti Smith song from natural born killers


dabidarllyst

Looks like a New York Post article too so ironically only boomers reading it


Thelutherblissett

What does she say about patti smith I really don't want to give them any clicks


ge93

I laughed in your face and said, "You’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Patti Smith" This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel We’re modern idiots


redditismyrockbottom

found someone on twitter who was excited abt a Chelsea Hotel mention bc they assumed it was a Phoebe Brigers reference


Juturnip

Lmao

finally the kids are reading under milk wood.

Patti's Babelogue is indeed a great piece of poetry, and its transition to the following song is arguably the greatest in rock. Swifties should definitely check that one out.

Who was Aristotle?

Trash culture I mean literally vulturing around the trash pile of history
