• Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson
• Frog and Toad,
• The Mike Nelson era of Mystery Science Theater 3000
• John Candy
• The Critic, Jon Lovitz
• The Odyssey, Homer
• Catch-22, Joseph Heller
And Michigan… ❤️🩹

To my Beloved:
I’ve failed you, my dearest.
On this wintry evenin’, my conscious stirred to read the tragedy which granted Homer his immortality, The Iliad, I took note upon two lines of such grace.
Only, in my horror, to discover the lines ended thus…six, and seven.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

And that’s why he’s TV’s Frank the White, ladies and gentlemen
The social relevance of the Turning Point USA half-time show in comparison to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is roughly equivalent to the cultural footprint Allen & Rossi left when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles.
