What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance
The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

IMO coverage needs to account for mass protests as well as historical election protection -- lot of democracy defense work went from GOTV to election office monitoring pretty seamlessly. The academic and think tank perspective is useful, but WFP, Indivisible, local groups, etc. have a lot to say.

Humbly resetting my lifts after being sick for a bit and missing several workouts. Always feels great to start fresh even though numbers go down.

Love to see it! Often forgotten but the American union movement did a ton of organizing around free speech, both to advance collective organizing and to oppose war.

Get speed limit alerts - Waze Help
Turn on the speedometer to see how fast you're driving. If you go over the speed limit, the speedometer will turn red and you'll get an alert.

I almost exclusively use Google Maps for navigation. Is there a way to get an alert / pint if I'm going over the speed limit? Or do other apps do that?

They want the installer to hit the center of the stud, to the point where they recommend probing with a drill bit in addition to using a stud finder. They also have a "quick turn" system for corners that involves building off one run of shelving to connect the other.

Installed some Rhino shelves today. I can see why this is a common handyman task. Very helpful to have long levels, a laser level, 2 drills and a miter saw, among other things that are maybe one step beyond DIY for many homeowners.
Interesting system. Installed 7 feet up for vehicle clearance.

this excellent thread is imo the type of thing everyone whose name is in the files should be doing
Hey, my name is in the Epstein files! I've told the story before, but should probably re-up.
TLDR: never met the guy, never took (or asked for) any money from him, never visited the island. I was invited to the island, and said no.
It's not that hard to just say no.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Reflecting on this, I think everyone should have the experience of getting documented proof that yes, in fact your enemies are conspiring against you.
I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

This is kind of an aside / relevant to Bad Bunny's Americas shout out... but the seven continent model we're taught in the US isn't universal. Some countries teach a six or even five continent model. The six-continent model (which unites North and South America) is common in Latin America

The expansive definition of "America" with the U.S. flag among many other nations was really nice. Good on him. Trying to find something unique and unifying to say at a Superbowl is very tough.
