From sugar cane to power lines to the little kid asleep on the chairs to the shoutout to the countries of the Americas & the melding of salsa, trap & reggaeton, Bad Bunny took everyone who watched that show on a tour of Puerto Rico's history and culture.

Seriously, you basically have to keep a running list of the ever-diminishing set of musicians, actors, etc. that you are “allowed” to enjoy. What a sad way to go through life.

MAGA like to portray themselves as he-men, but they are very easily bigly triggered and have to regularly collapse onto their fainting sofas only to be revived by the smelling salts. Meanwhile, the rest of the world parties on.

What triggers MAGA so much about Bad Bunny is he often evokes such joy which they are utterly incapable of experiencing.

As someone who has lived in, written about and loves Puerto Rico, this imagery from Puerto Rican life in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show is wonderful. 🇵🇷🌴

People claiming to speak out about freedom in Cuba while wearing red “Make Cuba Great Again” hats referencing an authoritarian who is kidnapping & incarcerating legal US residents, arresting journalists & killing US citizens has to be one of the dumbest & most self-defeating things I’ve ever seen…

Why, in 2026, is it still so difficult for so many on "the left" to call the regime that has squatted over Cuba for the last 67 years what it is, a reactionary dictatorship that imprisons or exiles all those who dare speak out against it?
