I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

Watched the halftime show. I guess where I fundamentally depart from MAGA is that, when I see something like this, celebrating a culture that's not quite mine, with some references I don't get, something that's not For Me ... I *like* it. I like seeing inside other worlds. Why wouldn't you?

That’s Brett Ratner there on the right.

We’re onto you, Ring

NEW EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AD: “3 million files still not released — stand with us. Tell AG Pam Bondi to release the files. It’s time for the truth.”

And fuck her. How can you be an evangelist for something when you're embarrassed about using it?

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/b...

Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

Local dad gives his kids a live-action masterclass in repercussions. He thought he was just playing "Ice Ice Baby" to taunt the neighbors; he ended up demonstrating the "Find Out" portion of the FAFO equation in record time.

The Trump effect.

In March 2025, the FBI discusses internally Pam Bondi’s “clear and specific guidance" to redact images of "former U.S. Presidents, Secretary of State, and other celebrities."

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

NBC can send all the takedown requests it wants, nothing in the rulebook says you can’t post Olympics Spuds MacKenzie

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

Like his Confederate forebears, Ted Cruz talked a big game, started a fight, got absolutely dog walked, then cried about how unfair it all was. A story in four images.

It's terrifying that the president's brain is crumbling before our eyes, but on the bright side, we're going to be treated to a midterm election season where endangered GOP incumbents keep having to deal with the increasingly insane ramblings of their dementia-ravaged president with no filters left.

Q: Why/how has Bannon avoided blowback for his chummy ties with Epstein? Is it that so many journalists, across the political spectrum, value him as a source? Someone please enlighten me!

For those keeping score at home:

im sitting here with a tab open looking at the racist shit posted by the leader of my country and im sick to my stomach. it isnt just trump that pisses me off. its the gop that backs him. the media that covers for him. and the democrats that won't fight him with everything theyve got. failure.

Every American needs to watch this:

If you haven’t figured out by now that Trump is a racist piece of shit, and that’s what drives his base, then you’re never gonna figure it out. Just a note for any reporters who need to see it.

So I’m not gonna share the image, but Trump just shared the Obamas as monkeys and I really don’t know if the general public is ready at all for the fully unbridled fascist government and the level of hate it’s about to unleash alongside massive hits against voting we are about to see.

AOC on the Kennedy Center: The renaming is completely illegitimate. All they did was screw some nameplates onto the building. That’s coming right off. Enjoy your name on there for a year or two, but that’s getting ripped right out.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

Who could this be? Hmm…

Whitney Cummings, an anti woke reactionary who is fresh off a multi-month long crashout over criticism of her performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, got hired by the Daily Show to say Vote Blue No Matter Who??? What the hell is going on over there?

TikTok slop didn’t help Bush lie about WMDs @kristoncapps.bsky.social that was your beloved mainstream media. Have fun licking their boots, I guess

Amazing (From @atrupar.com )

I have a degree in Biblical studies from JTS and the fact that Mike Johnson thinks that providing the full context for this quote is some kind of gotcha has convinced me he’s not just a liar, but he is a spectacular fucking idiot as well. Just a genuinely very stupid person.

Bezos' Post eliminates the books section after Bezos' Amazon killed independent booksellers. An educated populace is troublesome to billionaires.

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

While vetting the Epstein files, the FBI created a list of prominent names mentioned in the documents—and they noted which people had "salacious information" about them in the records. Trump was on the "salacious" list. Bill Clinton was not. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.

Here's my commonsense reform for ICE, Chuck: 1) Abolish the agency 2) Prosecute all agents & leadership to the fullest extent possible (incl. Noem & Miller) 3) Bar all former agents from any federal jobs going forward, whether it's a law enforcement position or otherwise

nobody will answer why the democrats didnt push their magic vote producing button in 2000, 2004, 2010, 2014, 2016, and in 2024 i mean, were the taco trucks on every corner just not worth pushing the "vote dumps" button?

So weird that they are making us responsible for their problem. We could, instead, get rid of tax havens and make the wealthy pay their share.

I love the noise Canada Geese make as they fly overhead and their instinctive communal sense of aesthetic organisation, plus the way that not one of them will ever barge in on social media with their opinion on a piece of writing without clicking on the link to find out what the piece actually says.

"The Plot to Enslave America" that I talk about a lot is not a metaphor.

The Constitution says otherwise, if we care about that.

Help us out, we suck at math — which is more $125 million or $8 million?

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

A new post from Stephen Miller’s wife where she directly goes after the staff of Justin and Hailey Bieber

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...
