Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations. That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

I fucking love those t shirts with the sapo concho

C0NCHO ON THE SCREEN!!! The sapo concho is the Puerto Rican crested toad. Endemic to the island and endangered (metaphor!!) A cute cartoon version of the toad was the mascot for his latest grammy winning album Debí Tirar Más Fotos

The NYT fired everyone who knew that sugar cane is kinda important to Puerto Rico. They're dumber than dogshit over there. This is so fucking embarrassing.

If you have a problem with a performance that ended with THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE - well, you’re a bad person

It's weird that they're both posting as if they don't live in puerto rico, where they both moved to avoid paying taxes

Macbeth: SHIT

Who had a worse Super Bowl? 2025: Drake 2026: Drake

Sam Darnold, Super Bowl Champion

I know the people who are high as hell at the game were not okay for a sec

oh, should we tell everyone? should we throw a party and stream it? will mr. beast and the ceo of salesforce be there

game, blouses

Game: Blouses

That was the best Super Bowl commercial I’ve ever seen

there's no one Hispanic experience--but what adheres us is joy. so many people want to sell a lie: that this other America is no-man's land, unprosperous and unpromising. they're wrong.

I don't care about football, but Bad Bunny's performance is an exultant battery against what this administration believes: that there is only one America proper.

If Charlie Kirk has a million haters, then I am one of them. If Charlie Kirk has 10 haters, then I am one of them. If Charlie Kirk has two haters, that’s me too. If Charlie Kirk has one hater, that is because I am dead. If Charlie Kirk has no haters, that is because Erika Kirk is dead.

Science: Hooray at long last we have figured out the technology to resurrect Charlie Kirk Erika Kirk:

Eris is at her most dangerous right now: cuddly AND gassy

I never noticed this either.

You shouldn't be able to lose your life savings to a gambling app. You should have to track down a dude named Fat Tony's behind the really suspect laundromat who will beat you to within an inch of your life if you dont pay. Put some barriers in.

People forget the Kate Beaton comic the "Poe looking suspiciously at a letter" meme comes from is also a devastating read on Jules Verne.

i bet the pair that skated to Gladiator felt DUMB AS HELL when the Japanese pair came out and skated to the exact same song from Gladiator, but sung by Andrea Bocelli

When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

60 years ago today, mild-mannered jim bowl was bitten by a radioactive spider

while many of you are likely yelling “go patriots” or “go seahawks!” i’m yelling “go robert mueller and the rule of law!”

the thing i'm waiting for with the ai romance novel lady is for another scammer to figure out that purely ai-generated material w no human authorship is generally not considered to be protected by copyright in the US rn, and saving themselves the 45 mins per book by reselling hers

i don't think christians should be allowed to vibe advertise in commercial breaks like they're selling coca cola. no more shots of the night sky and vague cursive text about finding purpose. show your weird-ass mega pastor asking for money and telling people cholera is caused by loose morals

respect to the couple in seahawks gear buying a huge bottle of kirkland signature vodka and a rotisserie chicken just after costco opened

Watching Alone and I can’t stop laughing at the bird that keeps stealing this guy’s food supplies

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th. (It’s here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

a super bowl party is maybe the most all-meat diet friendly event on the american calendar. 90% of the country is eating either/or wings, ribs, or chili today. why's he talking like he has to abstain from hitting the risotto bar later

world's least normal man can't just eat chicken wings at a super bowl party while on an all meat diet

oh, so now we're mad when he *does* kill a pedophile?

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

the weimar republic ultimately beat back the threat of nazism by playing by the rules and showing germans how much better and less cynical they were than hitler. the same strategy will work on trump.

"I wouldn't buy green bananas if I were you" is going to live in my brain for years
