Sounds like a good bunny to me.
Bad Bunny got emotional when asked who first believed in him, crediting his mother’s support before his career took off.

Why is there literally never a fact-correcting follow-up question?
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

Today would've been my brother's 38th bday, and there's a timeline where he'd still be here, and my dad hasn't had a catastrophic stroke and is stuck in bed unable to speak or walk. Instead we'd all be chatting and laughing and drinking wine.
Today I'm really missing that version of a life.

Shitty men perform masculinity exclusively to impress other shitty men. You'll never change my mind.
You wanna know what a "real" man would do? Be there for his wife & kids. Help with bathtime. Read to his kids. Spend time with his partner. Be someone other people can rely on.
That's a man.
