The aesthetics of each show projected their own senses of symbolism, with varying degrees of intention. The Bad Bunny piece projected feelings of unity, solidarity, and a connection to the planet. The Kid Rock show depicted lone figures framed by darkness and red and white stripes

Omg this is so good I missed this! VERY intentional shot lingering on two men grinding on each other Throughout his career Benito has been an ally to the LGBTQ community and has tried to push back against the machismo prevalent in Latin music

Lmaoo nigga ain’t Sesame Street in Harlem ?? 😭😭😭😭

Most of us use ‘Latino’ these days, rather than Hispanic. There an entire hemisphere of us so this isn’t universally true, but it’s generally better to use Latino than Hispanic.

I cannot emphasize enough that what he's singing here, obscured by beeps, is "If your boyfriend doesn't eat your ass, he'd better fuck off"

This is exactly the kind of breakdown of the show I, a person who has never listened to Bad Bunny until tonight, need.

if you must drink at a tourist bar in Nashville, go to Garth Brooks' place, he loves the queer community and is generally not a dick.

there are so many reasons to hate the disgusting asshole that is kid rock but here's one that didn't get national attention: when James Shaw Jr. stopped the Nashville Waffle House shooter barehanded, we chose him to be Marshall of the Christmas Parade and Kid Rock tried to replace him...

All of Canada when Bad Bunny yelled CANADAAAA

That’s actually quite hilarious looool.

Puerto Ricans have been fighting for energy democracy - the right to control their grid locally and build the clean energy future on the island - for decades. If you want to support an incredible effort, get plugged into the work led by Queremos Sol! queremossolpr.org

I also love the contrast of Kendrick’s performance and Benito’s. Such perfect book ends.

Worked so hard to get this money... yet another thing to get canceled and erased

I forgot Kari lake even existed.

Laura Loomer said Lady Gaga isn’t white anymore lololololol

Yall—

I love this part

I think the ‘less obvious’ politics here is that the entire thing started off with workers in the fields and ended with community dancing and emerging in solidarity from the fields. I think it’s beautiful that he named every country and all the peoples voices rising up- AND-

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

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...

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

HERE IS TOÑITA IF U WANNA KNOW WHO TOÑITA IS hellgatenyc.com/williamsburg...

Of course he did El Apagòn, climbing the poles with what we need to hear about power and corruption and tyranny and theft of resources, gracias bad bunny ❤️❤️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 pasquines.us/2026/02/06/e....

AND them scene of them on the electricity poles

Together, we are America. Well done, Bad Bunny.

what a shot

Puerto Rico está cabrónnnnnn

Was that Toñita handing Bad Bunny a drink from the bar??

This is some Latino ass SHIT baby daleeeeee

The walk thru the fields to the neighborhood to the falling in the house? I’m Mexican and I knew every single one of those Puerto Rican places. Getting a drink from the old lady? I just.

Those hips of his when he was up on that power line!!! (Faints)

The historical richness of it all was incredible. Dang, Benito. Thank you and your team. #BadBunny #Superbowl

Going from that incredible show to Mike Tyson fat shaming America on behalf of RFK Jr. is some fucking tonal whiplash

Lady gaaaaga?????

Why am I so turned on right now

Cardi!!!!

🫢🫢🫢

The more ICE cracks down in L.A., the harder the resistance hits back—straight from L.A.’s underground punk and ska-punk scene, packed with Latino and Black skankers. Get in the pit and pick it up!

If some white person is racist to me when I move into their neighborhood, I’m keeping their damn dog that got out during the storm.

Tre is one of the best modern day drummers.

Green Day performs "American Idiot" at the 60th Super Bowl.

I already forgot bcz I am old if they did this section of the song, but yes, the first song is also overtly political too- and boulevard of broken dream is less so but in context of album it’s talking about hopelessness and desolation in fucked up moral majority world.

The title of their last song is American Idiot. From the album American Idiot.

YES. PLZ.

Green. Day. Is My President.

a thread of (some of) my thoughts about the Super Bowl ad the National Council for #Adoption is touting. +

Adoption is not social welfare. It is what happens because we *reject* social welfare—because we do *not* help those who need it most. Adoption is a *business*: the business of making affluent people into the parents of less fortunate people’s children.

And along with this absolute nightmare, they said at the training today that churches are encouraging parents to sign termination of their parental rights and give rights to church.
