Bad Bunny Made MAGA Look Stupid
He refused to let a baseless culture war over his halftime show be the story.

Social-media-posted my way into an assignment to write about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, which was profound, important, joyful and as American as it gets.

Why wait for the facts, when you can just have Elon’s AI lie to you instead?

The Hague needs to open a special unit to investigate crimes against a generation. The amount of criminal Gen X appropriation in these ads is off the charts.

You willed that Voice ad into existence.

No, they didn’t sing the best lines or the MAGA edit…but I’m sorry—just getting the NFL to allow that song at all is a victory and subversive.

No Conan in the montage of Tonight Show hosts during that NBC100 ad is a choice (as is the lack of Letterman, though in fairness, they can’t include every big show, and Late Night isn’t Tonight)

happy Super Bowl Sunday! for all you commercials sickos, I make the case that this game's ad blitz will be to A.I. what 2022's was to crypto and 2000's was to the dot-com boom—with all attendant implications for our broader economy and the celebrity-promotion complex: slate.com/technology/2...
The Biggest Star of the Super Bowl Isn’t an Athlete—or Bad Bunny
We’ve seen this game before, and it doesn’t end well for anyone.

And the story makes it clear he’s not. Does one need to be an immigrant to support immigrants or hold positions that spotlight Trump’s anti-immigrant policies?

If you don’t wanna click the gift link, here are some highlights.

Performances by Americans can still spotlight the WH’s divisive, deeply unpopular immigration policies.

Seeing folks drag this post, asking how the WP could frame Bad Bunny’s performance as being about immigrants when he is American. But the post and story are about how his anti-ICE, pro-immigrant stance has angered (and divided) MAGA! It’s a good story; here’s a gift link to read it. wapo.st/4akbLdM
