My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

It's funny that this happened and people who stayed on Vichy Twitter still deny the idea that he might have changed the algorithm before the election to help Trump

He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028.
And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”

time and time again, MAGA Republicans are more excited to target and root against American athletes who have spoken out against them (or, in this case, merely expressed ambivalence) than they actually are to celebrate winning American athletes

Legitimately a remarkable victory for liberalism, broadly defined, that these sorts of situations, which are *all over* Europe (Alsace-Lorraine, the Basque Country, the entire country of Belgium) at one point were bloody ethnic conflicts, do not generate anything stronger than shitposting arguments.
