Idk man I was at a pickleball court that was playing the superbowl on the speakers and everyone in the room was JAMMING when the halftime show happened.
"The halftime show was boring."
Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Verified: Elon Musk made a surprise virtual appearance at a campaign event for Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. He spoke about preserving German culture and moving beyond the guilt associated with Germany's Nazi past. His comments have sparked controversy and criticism.

I’m for SURE late to the party with this but Chromakopia by Tyler, the Creator (and a lot of other artists) is a work of art.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

I’m generally a pacifist, but N*zis and N*zi adjacent individuals will personally get their teeth kicked in by me if they so much as exist within my vicinity.
One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.
