It’s celebrity news regarding a known white supremacist, her fanbase is notoriously disgusting and racist and often attacks people of color.
This community doesn’t need that kind of garbage, there’s plenty of it on reddit
So you’re saying it’s not news to you that a rock concert could cause an earthquake? Because it’s sure as hell news to me. Does it matter who was playing at the concert?
I don’t follow Swift or her die-hard fans, but this white supremacist" bit is news to me. Is this a real documented fact, or the usual overblown internet reaction to an assumption based on an extrapolation from a decade-old retweet?
known white supremacist
Woah, really? I’m hearing about this for the first time, upon googling it she says she disavows the alt right and finds white supremacy repulsive. Do you have a source?
He doesn’t. White supremacists clinging to celebrities they desperately want to believe support their views only to be slapped down in disgust is a tale as old as time.
I seen to remember the documentary about her covering the decision to publicly voice her political beliefs for the first time. There’s this one scene where she’s in a room full of white men telling her not to do it because it would damage her brand and her mom being the only person in the room to support it.
She went against all her business advisors and did it anyway, which should tell you enough about where she stands.
The kind of garbage this community doesn’t need are your blatant lies.
What nonsense. If Lemmy is gonna be full of shit like this, maybe it’s not for me.
Redditors are already turning it into Reddit. Logical arguments get voted down and following the hive gets voted up.
Seismic activity caused by large groups of people moving together is a well known and documented phenomenon.
The focus of the article is that her quake was bigger than other previous man-made quakes during massive events in the same location and is presented as a proof/show of how popular Taylor Swift is and how passionate are their fans. (much wow).
If you think “Fans of X celebrity are very “energetic”” is a news article that should be posted here its fine, its news after all and people seem to like it, but lets not pretend this is a scientific article in any way.
See, this is the data that’s interesting, and i do think it belongs here. I’d be curious if this is unofficially a record. A certain seismic measurement that is a certain distance from an event, entirely generated by people. This is assuming their movement created a bigger reading than the sound equipment, which is entirely plausible with people stomping in time.
You know the lab is well aware of the venue. The artist doesn’t matter. It’s the event they were impressed with.
