The FBI actively threatening Republicans in Congress saying that it will criminalize their staffers seems like something that should be front page news.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

We recorded this a year ago.
Black folks have been dealing with state violence since before the US was a country.

Ok so we got Kendrick Lamar followed by Bad Bunny.
That mean next year's halftime show will be like BTS and BlackPink doing a historical walk through US Military interference in East Asia with a midshow dance break that pays homage to the Black hiphop and r&b greats that influenced them, right?

Relatedly, if you’re an academic and someone challenges doing scholarship at the intersection of pop-culture as “unscholarly” or “less important,” you can tell them to fuck off into the sun.

The intersection of pop-culture is where we LIVE.
Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

When I heard this, I had to do a double take because I couldn’t believe he did that shit.

Also, I learned the meaning of this song from an essay one of my Philosophy and Pop-Culture students wrote. It low-key made me an instant fan.
This song "Yo Perreo Sola" is an anthem about women's right to throw ass in the club without men creeping on them

"suspected political message" haha

I get it. My Spanish isn't fully what it used to be, but fam, I could see the sugar plantation and exploding electric poles.

Granted these are the same people who "missed" Any political messages in Green Day singing American Idiot & Holiday Soo not surprised.

Ok, still photos are out and it was definitely not Liam.

Giving the Grammy to a child symbolizing a young him with the direct to tv address about believing in yourself remains beautiful.

Also now that we have a still from the performance, don't be racist. Those are very clearly different kids.
But in all seriousness.
This back to back with Kendrick last year is awesome.
Benito giving his grammy to Liam Conejo Ramos had me tearing up.
Yes NFL is trash. It is commercial.
But commercial art being on these stages is an important tool as we seek to activate people in fighting fascism.
