The hilarious part for me is that Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico which is part of the United States! He's had a US passport since birth!
The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

It's weird that people outside of California simultaneously think it's both too expensive and a shithole.
SF is the most beautiful major American city. Very funny/good to see people who thought it is hell discover this objectively true fact and other amazing things the city has (burritos).

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

the experience of having a dance spectacle narrated by the sports team always makes me want an option to go to a ballet where you have, like, John McEnroe in an ear saying “I’m being told that this is Drossel… Drosselmeyer? ominous cape there! watch how he jumps on the clock! no capes in my day”

As a Canadian I have been doing "I hope no one thinks I'm American" literally my entire life. Really surprised anyone thinks people like collective Americans.
the "americans will be pariahs when they travel!!" discourse is so funny. 1) we deserve it, 2) people in other countries (excluding, say, large parts of Iraq) are in reality pretty chill about americans, great satan or no
