    They say that one day and then get angry the next when the rest of us do the thing he wants us to do, but not the way (to whom) he wants us to do it to. Hypocrite is the word.

    I don’t like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

    Generally I think they get the most popular artist they can manage for the Super Bowl, and he is massively popular, and no one is forcing people to watch. These people are such crybabies it’s unbelievable, just turn the dial for a few minutes or whatever, everything has to be this culture war bullshit now and no one can just enjoy anything, so sick of it.

      Imo that’s why Bad Bunny’s show was great. He never addressed politics directly. He just made his culture look fun.

      So now every time someone tries to rope in politics, you can just look at it on it’s face and see a good show that makes you happy if you’re open minded. So everyone who criticizes it has to work really hard to make it sound bad.

        That’s smart, just make them look like total bummers, which they are. I have to say, what they are doing is really embarrassing, you can’t say you have a superior culture and then trot out the biggest losers in the world. Music and culture in the US has always been hugely derivative of roots and traditional musics, which makes sense since we were all immigrants at some points, but the struggles POC faced in this new world and the music that came from it played a massive role in the development of American music in some way or another, be it derivative or outright theft.

          Not to totally detract from the point of what you’re saying, which is totally correct, but… All of everything seems to keep stepping over that it’s not just influential on American music, but it is American music. That they keep framing parts of our culture as somehow not shows that it’s just racism.

          Puerto Rico has been part of the US longer than Oklahoma, new Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii. Puerto Rican culture is more American than whatever weird nonsense they have in Oklahoma.

            Certainly, I guess I didn’t follow that all the way through. I certainly don’t remember this much flack over Gloria Estefan LMAO, and she’s CUBAN. They just really ramped up the culture war.

    It’s so crazy that we can come to the same conclusion and only one of us has a half decent reason.

    You don’t want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because you’re a racist scumbag, I don’t want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because they have enacted an oligarchy. We are not the same.

    With no subtext whatsoever I agree with the idea of “make America great again”, however I feel like the people who proudly spout that slogan would heavily disagree with the way that I would go about it. Hint: it would involve a volcano.

        Yellowstone caldera… thing

        Not a thing, apparently. All the blowing about yellowstone blowing is done by people with a single line or two from the scientists’ work, and never by the scientists themselves.

          Oh yeah it’s definitely not “due super eruption” or anything, that’s just some usual media concerning big news!! misinformation. But the area is certainly active and the possibility for an eruption or even a super eruption still exists

        Can you please keep this shit within your own country? The Yellowstone caldera would cause a major global disaster, if it broke out.
