Ok I’m going to keep this thread up as a monument to me being dumb and posting in real time. To recap:

1. I now believe he did say Haiti in right after Jamaica

2. The thing I thought was a Palestinian flag is the new flag of Martinique

3. I should go to bed
Only negative note I have about Benito’s performance is that I don’t think he mentioned Haiti in the roll call of countries at the end

I don't know why conservatives complain about Bad Bunny singing in Spanish. They never listen to lyrics anyway. They think "Born in the USA" is an upbeat patriotic song. They played "We will rock you" on Trump's rallies to rev up the crowd. Trump jerks off two invisible dicks to YMCA.

The funniest part of Casey (an actual neo-Nazi btw) having a Substack bestseller badge is remembering how the walking skinsuit Jesse Singal spent roughly a thousand words of his rambling pseudo-rebuttal to my 2023 Atlantic piece insisting that couldn’t happen.
Both of these guys have bestselling Substacks by the way

Not beating the Nazi allegations over there
The degree to which these people should be locked in an asylum cannot be overstated

It's dope that it's an annual tradition now that the super bowl halftime show makes republicans extremely angry. We should just keep doing this
Absolutely delicious.

They are saying Kid Rock handed his Grammy to lil’ Kyle Rittenhouse during the halftime show.

(Not true. Kid Rock has never won a Grammy).

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Bad Bunny did a good job, but failed to call Drake a pedophile.

In 1979, the “New York Times” asked Isaac Bashevis Singer if he planned to watch the Super Bowl.

Can anyone explain why the online right is so obsessed with denying the party realignment on civil rights in the mid-20th century? I get that they understand that racism is bad, and “you’re the real racists” is a self-soothing line of attack. But why do they have to obsess about it every single day?
