A Reddit user identifies the boy who took a Grammy from Bad Bunny in the halftime show as five-year-old model Lincoln Fox and says that he was meant to represent Bad Bunny as a child www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/... www.reddit.com/user/BabySea...

The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

Anyway, Bad Bunny saying "God bless America" D and then just rattling off the whole list of countries within the southern and northern American continents was one of the coolest things anyone has ever done at a super bowl, including players

I set up the #FebWrite2026 challenge and thought I'd do a check in every day post.
Truth is I only have 200+ words. On Sunday, my mom declined rapidly. She is still with us but on comfort meds only. Needless to say, it's hard right now.

What is obvious to me is that a lot of people deeply care about their neighbors and this country.
They didn't think we would. We do.

the thing about her is she has exactly one skill which is telling people with more money than her that they are right and everyone else is stupid and it's a skill that gets you the gig but doesn't help you keep it at all
again, Weiss' problem isn't that she's bad at journalism (which is true), it's that she's bad at ratings-grabbing agitprop, the entire reason she was hired.
