Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Sunny beat me to the very next statement I was going to make.
The whole performance wasn’t about the triumph of the individual, but the collective effort and joy that that elevates all of us out of oppression.
They literally danced their way through and out of the history of colonialism TOGETHER.

Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

Bro literally came out and said “it’s our labor and culture that has always made the Americas great: y’all are just the beneficiaries of slave owners from sea to shining sea,” and I am here for it.
It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

It’s amazing how artists like Bad Bunny can give us more hope for what America can be than any politician. What a an incredible gift.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

It's music video-level production (the camera work alone!), and yet somehow they're filming it live.
