GreentextWe have superbowl half time at home
Super bowl half time at home
Bad Bunny’s family have been US citizens longer than diddlin Donnie’s family.
Trump posted how bad the Bad Bunny concert was, so he obviously must have watched it.
Conservatives have cried about the half time show for most of my life. I kinda feel like that's all they do is bitch about how the world isn't made for specifically them. Don't ever give them what they want! They'll just move on to the next thing to bitch about.
It’s ok, FIFA will give Kid Rick and MC Vance a halftime show at the World Cup final.
These same snowflakes were singing 'despacito' almost a decade ago.
And the Macarena before that, even though they probably know knew about two words from it (heyyyy Macarena)
It's because Bad Bunny has too complex lyrics.
The listeners want to understand the song.
I feel like they still think they're in the majority and they are just waiting for the tide to turn any day now and they will be popular and beloved, people are just being forced to watch this diverse stuff, hey guess what guys we USED TO BE PROUD OF BEING CALLED THE MELTING POT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU?
Proud of the melting pot?
I'm proud to be a part of the Quilt of Diversity in Canada
In the modern era they refer to the "salad bowl" rather than the "melting pot" because "melting pot" implies cultural erasure during integration, but "salad bowl" combines while maintaining individual unique characteristics.
Is "cultural mosaic" not what's used anymore?
I've heard it both ways
It's an old saying they used in History class here to describe the rich history of immigrants and how they built up this country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot
Those are some beautiful quilts, is there a particular one? This one is amazing https://quiltofbelonging.ca/
It's hilarious to me that the MAGA halftime show had lower production quality than Charlie Kirk's funeral.
Probably had less than when Charlie actually Kirked.
The fact that nobody watched the damned thing but everyone seems to want to talk about it should say something about the state of American politics.

If the media would stop giving creeps airtime (outside of ridicule), they’d fade into obscurity. But instead we get to “hear both sides of the story” when one side is just spouting nonsense and lies.
when 5 ~~people~~ billionaires own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on
Which raises the question of why it's on the front page here.
Which is exactly why these morons remain relevant. News media needs this chaos to drive engagement and division.
I'm going to talk about it but only as a reference point for how unpopular and sad the right actually is. If rating were votes, they wouldn't even be top 3rd party.
Okay, but if we post this shit it gets upvotes. And I crave online attention and validation.
I crave online validation too so I just repost memes, firstpost obvious takes, and post things that make me say "Neat" to the community I created for that express purpose.
Don't forget shitty music! They also spout that sometimes
Are they still parading Kirk's likeness? This goes beyond just "sad." This is straight-up pitiful. Nobody else has even the baseline for being recognizable for them.
That old one hit wonder
Just stop giving them attention for this shit. Ignore it. This is not an important thing.
Obviously not.
Their foundational concept revolves about not being self aware.
As a Hispanic American, I really wish I could have understood what he was saying.
I don't know enough Spanish to understand him, and the English subtitles didn't help because it was just the Spanish lyrics spelled only with the English alphabet. They couldn't have translated the subtitles? Its not like they didn't know what he was going to sing, they practice halftime shows before the game. 77% of Americans only know English and only ~14% know Spanish as of 2024, so this was a superbowl halftime show that only ~14% of the country could understand.
Also, side note, this show kinda sucked for the people that paid for actual tickets since much of it was in those tall grass walls/designed for the camera. In the past, the shows were more like a stage concert, which was better for the people actually at the arena, but this superbowl was like a double whammy for people that paid 10k for the nosebleeds: a horrendously boring game and a halftime show designed for the people watching at home.
Spanish lyrics spelled only with the English alphabet
That would be the Latin alphabet, which Spanish also uses.
The Spanish alphabet also has characters which the English alphabet does not use, such as ñ.
While both derive from the Latin alphabet, they both have different character sets, and I thus refer to them separately. Just like how Russian and Ukrainian both derive from the Cyrillic alphabet, but they do not use all the same characters.
Fair point, but what did you mean, then? It spelled things like "compañía" as "compania"?
Yes, lol. I turned the subtitles on thinking it would be translated and it was just stuff like that, it was actually quite funny to me.
Ah, I see what you mean. Pretty lazy of them!
Those fuckers have been completely ridiculous and have had zero credibility from day one. Yet here we are.
