Talarico hits hard: America's so split we can't even share a Super Bowl—two halftime shows, two realities. What's driving this? Fear. Pure fear. But Bad Bunny's stage? Nothing but joy, unity, beats that lift us all. Ditch the division. Embrace the vibe. One nation, one show. #sheshed

It should terrify us when networks silence voices to appease regulators. This isn’t about fairness; it’s about fear. Credit to Stephen Colbert for refusing to play along. That’s the kind of courage democracy depends on.

[even the least sustainable vegan diet was more environmentally-friendly than the most #sustainable meat eater's diet. In other words, accounting for origin & methods of food production does not obscure the differences in the environmental impacts between groups]

Oxford Scientists Confirm Vegan Diet Is Massively Better For Planet
We know that meat has a substantial impact on the planet, and that plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
