I know WP just went through hell. But even so, how does drivel like this even make it to the publishing stage? It's just so WRONG on its face. And then to admit that you don't even understand/speak Spanish?

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance Wasn’t What Conservatives Feared. It Was Something Else Entirely.

As a Bostonian, I’m obligated to bring up that all the New York city and state NFL teams were watching the Patriots win their 12th AFC Championship and the Boston Celtics have the same record as the Knicks with no Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford or Luke Kornet on the squad
Celtics and Patriots both lost today. As an NYC expat, I’m contractually obligated to bring this up.

I know you said you don’t wanna know but it’s actually a good story. He parents founded The Comedy Store in LA and he basically grew up around standup comedians all his life. He was weaving through all kinds of crazy circles.

And if you look closely toward the end of the full episode, a very young Leo DiCaprio was kicking it on the set too. Unsolved mysteries.

In Living Color made so many ppl turn the channel to FOX at halftime that the ratings for the Super Bowl plummeted. The NFL couldn’t have that so the following year they booked Michael Jackson and the rest is history.

Gutting a newsroom via Zoom so you don’t need to see anyone face-to-face is cowardly. Stepping down on a Saturday (and probably collecting a fat parting check on the way out) is just abhorrent.

I legit only know what one of these players looks like and he prob got in bc he recently pulled off a between-the-legs dunk in a game.
I’m just gonna root for the guy that’s named after *two* former Slam Dunk champions. I’m intrigued.
