For the backstory, read my interview with its organizer, Owen Knight—who, last Monday, was surprised they'd almost reached $10K.

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

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

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
