Sometimes I see folks ponder how awful people can consider themselves good, and I think the answer is that they don't. They aren't interested in being good. Good is not a part of their values. They don't find pleasure or worth in goodness.

Well, good thing there were no politics involved with the sugar cane and electrical-grid imagery.

Bad Bunny is amazing but I've got to do a quick shoutout to Ricky Martin, our hot gay uncle.

Ok but the funniest thing in this thread is the dude hung up on sugarcane being a species of grass.
At the start of his Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny appeared in a field of green grass wearing a jersey featuring the number β64.β Fans immediately started tossing out theories about what the number meant.
What Was the βOcasio 64β Reference on Bad Bunnyβs Super Bowl Look?
And where did his suit come from? The answers may surprise.

He manages the final movement decently but it was too late for me. After all the bombast in the 1st movement, the 3rd movement is weirdly neutered, tempo is fine but no passion. 2nd is goopy; the little downward cello scale at the end of the main motif is all garbled. I just can't connect.

But credit to the LSO: their entrances are impeccable. String sections are notoriously late in a particular call-and-response section, and they are absolutely spot on here.

Noseda rushing through things like he's got somewhere to be; all bombast and no melancholy. Surely the worst interpretation of the 1st movement I've heard in a while.

Recalling the times saying "would you like to go on a date" meant "let's play video games at my house" and it was a terrible dating strategy except when it was perfect.

It's this. It bombards my YouTube and my Instagram and it drives me bonkers. The fact that they are cracking up is part of the episode's story - it is a wonderful, written, scripted scene with no hint of improvisation. They were pros. There was no going off script.

Passing around that beautifully *written* *scripted* scene claiming that Betty White was improvising (you know that clip, right?) should be automatic jail.
