New version of The Exorcist, but it's adorable
My contribution to Super Bowl Sunday is this Jewish Aramaic incantation bowl with a demon on it. From Nippur, Mesopotamia, circa 6th-7th century CE.

What am I doing for the Super Bowl this year? You know. Eating decomposed foodstuffs, listening to ten different musicians named Brice, getting real mad about Puerto Rico again. American things.
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

Chat, is it good when the king of a great empire goes before God to boast of his great pride and vanity
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

Here's a guy I haven't thought about in some time. Fascinating story. There was a documentary a few years ago, which I've been meaning to track down.
For those too young to remember 1991, Diana is one of the worst cases of comics persecution in US history.

He thinks tearing down the Kennedy Center will be an exciting 2028 campaign event, because we all love his horrible construction projects as much as he does
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."
