Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Metsäkeskustelussa hämmennys ei synny sattumalta.
Sitä tuotetaan kolmella keinolla: kehystyksellä, virheellisillä väitteillä ja olkiukoilla (tavoitteilla, joita kukaan ei ole esittänyt). Tässä konkreettinen esimerkki.

Trump negotiators don’t approach Russia-Ukraine talks as “if we can get Russia to stop attacking, then there will be peace.” They approach it as “if we can get Ukraine to surrender, then we can make a lot of money.”
⚡️Zelensky says Russia presented $12 trillion economic plan to US, called 'Dmitriev package.'
President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a proposed framework for large-scale U.S.-Russia economic cooperation.

European countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.
