I find it very interesting that no one started caring about this until US right wingers made a big deal about it.

cindylouwhovian ,

I have no love for Taylor Swift. I understand she has a cult following and has recently become star of the NFL. Her name is Swift, she must be fast. I will admit to getting caught up in a personal car singalong of ‘Shake it Off’ on a bad day. Haters are gonna hate, just like haters hate her private plane travels.

But! If I had a ton of rabid fans and right wing haters, and the ability to pay extra to travel SAFELY, I would probably pay extra to travel safely.

Here me out: Whereever she goes requires a SHITTON of public funds to police and security. Rabid fans watch where she goes and follow her everywhere. I understand her new boyfriend had to actually move to a new home because her fans camped out around his house and tapped on his windows in hopes to just SEE her. And this doesn’t even include right wing nuts who think she is a witch for believing vaccines work.

I am not saying she is a saint, but holy hell, I do not blame her for sticking to airports to ensure her own safety and to avoid being a drain on public funds that require extra police presence against a rabid media following her escorts thru cities.

Why is there a boomer meme on my Lemmy feed

adj16 ,

Going after the rich for being wasteful with their money and hurting the environment is like the opposite of a boomer mindset…

CaptainMcMonkey ,

OK the memes were funny at first, but is it starting to feel a little astroturfy in here? Like, is her telling everyone they need to vote actually that scary for establishment politics?

The private plane thing is definitely hypocritical, but we’re singling her out from every single celebrity that also does that. Maybe I don’t follow her story close enough to know why, but it seems like the only thing that makes her different from the other celebrities is that she made conservatives mad about voting, and young people like her?

We’re just having a laugh, mate, calm down.

Pretty sure this will peter out soon anyways, I mean, how many more airplane jokes can you make before it gets old?

metaStatic ,

I haven’t felt this awful since we saw that Ronald Reagan film

TonyOstrich ,

I could be wrong, but the reason I’m annoyed with her specifically isn’t because of the use of private planes (I am annoyed by it, but that isn’t specific to her). I’m annoyed with her legally harassing the person that made a bot that used publicly available data to track her plane(s).

That’s why I am specifically amused by these posts, not sure if it’s the same for everyone.

CaptainMcMonkey ,

That tracks. Celebrity stuff usually annoys me, so I avoid news about it. There’s just been too many Swift Plane jokes to ignore lately.

XTornado , (edited )

I mean… tbh I wouldn’t like somebody to track all my movements with my car and make them public to all to see.

I mean technically they are already tracked in my case at minimum by Google explicitly by me in my case as I share my location and I have tracking enabled, but they don’t share directly with all people to see, so Tom that doesn’t like me can go and cut my tires. There might be a security flaw some day…and Tom might get access but in my case I will risk it.

@noxy@yiffit.net avatar

But you’re also not obscenely wealthy because of being a public figure, kinda different rules, no?

TonyOstrich ,

Yes, but in your example your location is not posted to publicly available records. If she doesn’t like that an air planes flight records are publicly available for anyone to look up, she should contact her representative, or otherwise campaign to have the law changed, not harass someone who is basically just copying and pasting information from one public database no one is on to a public space everyone is on.

Beyond that I would also add my opinion that for the average person hiring extra security or taking extra precautions is an undo burden. For someone who is worth more than I will make in 250 lifetimes I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that is one of the costs of the path that she has chosen to travel.

XTornado , (edited )

Well yeah but that is available and public doesn’t mean that I would like a guy to shout it all around. I mean… you can also just follow me on the street and you will see where I am going, it’s public, that doesn’t mean that I will be happy to know you take notes and share it to everybody letting them know where I go every second of my life.

Sure they are public figures and it is what it is, and of course I am against the harassing I wasn’t saying that is ok and sure they will live they can deal with it but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t annoy them or bother them and that due to that can cause them to react badly to it and overreact, they are human after all like the rest of us.

And honestly I wasn’t even talking about security, yeah my example in my case was that but honestly is not just that.

@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

All aircraft have APRS transponders on them and the info is public, the plane is tracked, she isn’t.

XTornado ,

Yeah I know that. In any case I said my car as example because I don’t go by plane… but yeah it’s not exactly the same as my car doesn’t have a radio that allows anybody track it.

feedum_sneedson ,

“She” is a business, I doubt it was specifically her that did anything.

Son_of_dad ,

She shouldn’t have sued the guy, that’s what caused these memes. Her own stupid reactions, not anything Republicans are saying

MystikIncarnate ,

Oooh. That makes it make a lot more sense to me.

I don’t follow celebrities, because I generally don’t give any shits about what they do. So I’m pretty far in the dark on this one, you just turned on the light. Thanks.

It’s basically the musk plane fiasco but with lawsuits and Taylor Swift. It makes sense.

In Musk’s case, he bought Twitter to shut down the account (at least partly, let’s be honest), and in Taylor’s case, she’s going for a legal solution and bluntly, even if it’s heard in court, she is very unlikely to win, just make life difficult for the guy for a while. Whatever. Stupid stuff really.

Yo dawg we heard you liked flying…

Cossty ,

I saw this and even the previous post, but still don’t know what this is about. Can somebody explain for a person not living in freedom land? What did she do at that football game, super something? Does she use planes even for very short flights or something?

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Yes, you’re basically right on the money. She’s been very vocal about climate change being a serious issue but not only did she take her private jet to go to the Super Bowl (of course), but in the short time she’s been dating Kelce (the football player), she has used it at least 15 times to see him play. We’re just poking a little fun at that.

ItsAFake ,

You know how you want to go to the shops about 40 minutes away? Instead of driving she takes a plane.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

That’s not even possible…

Dashi ,

I mean not really. I know people that take public flights from GRR to Ohair because they don’t want to drive 3 hours and world rather fly 30 minutes. If someone without a private jet is willing to do that. Imagine what someone with a private jet would do

LifeInMultipleChoice , (edited )

The goal posts just moved 450%

Edit… Sorry I fucked up the math. 525%. Right? 3x60+30 =210. 210 out of 40 minutes… 5.25

GluWu ,

Shop a mini jet moving a mgnugget from the table to her mouth.

MacNCheezus OP , (edited )
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I tried to ask Bing AI to do that for me but apparently “Taylor Swift eating a McNugget flown to her mouth by a tiny airplane” violates their content policy, so they blocked it.

Trying a different AI now but all I’m getting so far is Taylor Swift eating strange McNugget-based burgers inside an airplane.

Update: now I’ve also gotten a picture of her eating an airplane in front of a McNugget-based burger. Getting closer, but at this rate it’s probably faster to just make a picture of her eating a McNugget and then shop the plane in.

EDIT: ah fuggit McNugget, I’m done trying. This is the best I could do:

shootwhatsmyname ,

Not to be that person, but her proportions are off and she’s not respecting the environment’s vanishing point. I used to love her, but this making me question her motives.

radix ,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

I’m trying to learn perspective. What is there that isn’t respecting the vanishing point?

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I think that person is referring to the fact that the airplane’s trajectory is slightly ajar from the straight line that goes from the camera to the vanishing point. Perhaps the pilot got off course a little.

Tangent5280 ,

The enclosing airplane is so large, that there is natural formation of cross winds by pressure differential. One such pressure differential is giving our brave pilot trouble as he navigates the treacherous path from seat J3 to seat K3.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I ain’t no expert, but this guy sounds like he knows what he’s talking about, so it’s probably the correct answer.

radix ,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Oh, now that you say it it seems obvious. Thanks!

shootwhatsmyname ,
@shootwhatsmyname@lemm.ee avatar

I mean, just look at her. You can physically feel the rebelliousness in her adverse yaw. I can’t even imagine how disruptive her adiabatic lapse rate is. She needs to be grounded

Gork ,

What if she needs to go to the other side of the plane-within-the-plane?

MacNCheezus OP ,

It’s planes all the way down.

It’s a private jet flying the chopper.
