"The halftime show was boring."

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

On edge during every Super Bowl commercial dreading the inevitable AI twist. Could Big Brothers & Big Sisters be using AI to find good matches? Is Instacart powered by AI? Is that AI Jesus telling me not to hate people?

Super Bowl ads in the 2000s:

Wow! These are some of the funniest and best ads ever! This is the best part of the game!

Super Bowl ads in the 2020s:
It’s all right wing propaganda, tech bro grift ads, and movie trailers. This is the worst part of the game. 🤬

There is no "debate" over the Nazi salute because we all saw him do a Nazi salute. There are just some people who are either experiencing too much cognitive dissonance to accept that's what they saw or are willing to intentionally lie about it

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country
