Your ad-makers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

General theme of the ads so far is “remember when people talked to other people and did things?”

MAGA refuses to engage with their problematic former faves more than any 2018 orthodox woke person.
as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

Some blind and low vision fans will get to use haptic tablets at Super Bowl 60. It allows them to feel the ball as it moves around the field.

Avoiding emasculating activities, like have chips, chili, and beer with your buddies while watching the Super Bowl.
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

This thinking is related to the RW’s affinity for sneering at empathy and vice signaling. And even JD Vance perversely glorying in getting booed. If people despise you for what you are saying, you must be telling the truth, because why else would you say something despicable?
"Only good guys lie, because the brutal truths of reality are inconvenient for their ideology. Once you become evil, you embrace those truths and don't lie because the brutality suits your purposes" is something a lot of people seem to believe despite it *clearly* being propaganda for Team Evil!

I love watching the Olympics and absorbing the arbitrary standards. You end up watching a sport you are only dimly aware exists, frowning and saying, “Oo, that guy from Norway had his knees greater than 90 degrees, now he’s bronze at best.”

I was just thinking today how much more trad my lifestyle actually is than the majority of trad influencers. Husband works full time, I WFH part time and am a caregiver/mom who cooks, gardens, etc.
odd feature of our time in how many liberals and progressive are bog standard monogamous family types--Serwer, Bouie, Hayes, AOC, etc--and how many Traditional Family Values conservatives are fuckin drugged up perverts
