Opinion | The Culture War Is Over. Bad Bunny Won. American pop culture is global pop culture, and vice versa.

“Bad Bunny’s performance isn’t just the story of the ascendancy of a single performer, or of one genre,” Noah Shachtman writes. “It’s the sign of something bigger still. America’s pop culture is today multilingual, polycultural and international at its very core.”

‘Penis injection’ claims in Winter Olympics ski jumping investigated by Wada Wada is to investigate claims ski jumpers are injecting acid into their penises to game the suit-measuring system

today i learned that ski jumpers' heavily regulated ski suits are measured by taking a 3d scan of the size of the skiier's genitals and now some skiiers are being accused of shooting hylauronic acid into their dongs to get more favorable measurements www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

My lilac yarn still hasn't turned up, so I've given up and ordered some from The Evil Empire... er... Amazon. But while I'm waiting I've made a cute bumble bee beanie, because I had all the right colours for that.

Does anyone sell subatomic sized violins?

I'm frustrated this evening. A friend's 2 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with leukaemia, so I've been making little hats all week. Problem is I now have two hats I can't finish because Royal Mail are incapable of delivering to a deadline. I have got three finished though.

I just want to go to St Fagans to see the Terrance Higgins quilt, but bloody Cardiff Bus don't make it easy, to put it bluntly.

My favourite is blue Barman 💙

Morning.

I found a single seat between two large family groups at the Horrible Histories concert. I was a bit worried about going to a family show on my own as a 52 year old woman, but each group seems to think I belong to the other. I'm just here because I love HH at least as much as all these kids!

My cat tried to steal my mochi. I've never seen anything like a small cat with a tiny piece of mochi in his mouth trying to cope with the stretchy, sticky texture with an expression that suggested he'd made a tactical error. He doesn't eat much human food, but when he does, it's always very random.

BARBARISM: Captured Russian troops are being compelled by Ukrainian special forces to watch the Melania ‘movie’.

😂

I am not sure why, with everything going on in the world, my brain came up with Prince wearing Che Guevara's hat, but I had to doodle it.

They have the same energy...

We can't play nice with this. We need to really emphasise that if people vote for Reform, we could easily see the kind of chaos that Trump has unleashed. We can expect to lose even more freedoms than the ones Farage's isolationist rhetoric have already cost us. They create fear and then prey on it.

GET VACCINATED

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

Same energy.

I love her.

There was a Wassail in my parents' village this weekend, but they never go. I think it's a bit of a shame, I'd love to go but it's hard to get deep into rural Devon without a car.

I'm just picturing all the people who reacted to Bad Bunny being announced by demanding a white, English-speaking country act, or a white, English-speaking band getting pissy because they've been given everything they asked for, but... "NOT LIKE THAT!"

A Puerto Rican, Spanish-speaking half time act, an American lesbian to perform American the Beautiful, and an overtly political punk band not afraid to speak up against the orange Oberführer in explicit terms to open the show. Whoever booked the talent for the Super Bowl, I salute you.

I will hide as many refugees from the USA as I can, even if I have to turn my living room into a dormitory!

I will give one million pounds or this bucket* to anyone in the WH press corps who will ask President Tantrump these exact words: "Mr President, you are increasingly erratic, unregulated, and dishonest. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

*it would be the bucket, but I bet I could crowdfund the cash

Rage Against The Machine has sadly never been more right than now when they said "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses." When people's dying words are "I'm not mad at you" or "Are you OK?" you know the people who killed them are on the wrong side of history.

How does the saying go? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Is it unreasonable for me to be ridiculously excited that I'm going to see the Horrible Histories live show next weekend? I'm 52, I have no kids, but this is the first time the TV team has toured. While they aren't the original Six Idiots, I am very fond of the current lot.

I am beginning to think "Board of Peace" is a misunderstanding, as it seems to consist primarily of people who are, in fact, BORED of peace.

Made another scarf. This one is for my sister, who saw the ones I made for my nephews' girlfriends and was a bit disappointed that I didn't make one for her. She will hopefully get it on Friday.

I have stumbled upon a way of really confusing Meta's algorithm - I interact with a lot of content from people who aren't like me. Pretty sure FB thinks I'm Black, Jewish, Muslim, Asian, and somehow a churchgoer. I am, in fact, none of these things. I just like lots of different things.

It's a shame "Minority" isn't suitable for a family audience. I bet they can tweak American Idiot to get past the censors though.
