A Reddit user identifies the boy who took a Grammy from Bad Bunny in the halftime show as five-year-old model Lincoln Fox and says that he was meant to represent Bad Bunny as a child www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/... www.reddit.com/user/BabySea...

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

It must be so exhausting to hate things just because a lot of other people enjoy them.

I am SO digging this. Jumping on the bandwagon? Perhaps. But it might be a new anthem for me. The fact that they're in my age bracket makes it all the sweeter.

I mean... don't threaten us with a good time.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

The fact that *not one* person in Harris' camp can explain why they shouldn't launch their fucking media operation on the Substack platform is... probably all you need to know about that endeavor.

Aaarrgghhh I'm getting better SO FREAKING SLOWLY. It's been over a week & while, yay, I can breathe again and have a brain again, I'm still SO WORN OUT. Doc and medicine today. 🤞

Clique, this is an open, honest look. I enjoyed it and went back for a few of the other artists he did.
A 2026 goal of mine is to go deeper on artists that I know/enjoy a few tracks from but not much else

Once a week I will randomly choose an artist & spend the work day listening to their discography on random

This week: Twenty One Pilots

I saw the 2025 Rock & Roll HoF show, but that's all I know

I wanted to knit tonight so badly but I'm so tired from returning to work while recovering that it hurts. Going to sleep instead.... after taking a nap as soon as I got home.
