Conservative commentator Greg Price noted that “the NFL chose Bad Bunny to perform the Super Bowl halftime show despite the fact that he recently said he wouldn’t perform in the continental United States again because ICE is deporting illegal aliens.”
This is a particularly pathetic lie. He said he didn't want to play concerts because his audience is overwhelmingly Latino and he was worried about ICE harassing concert goers.
No disrespect to Bad Bunny but he's not going to meaningfully shift the demographics of people attending the Super Bowl.
I call them regressives, because they want to reverse all progress including the ban on slavery and probably American independence from Britain too (this is an actual conspiracy-laden right-wing ideology called Anglo-Saxon Unionism).

1. Hundreds, more than enough for a novel series (which was originally going to be a webmanga, but oh well)
2. Many, unapologetically
3. A few doozies, and don't get me started
Okay, I have a little #Atari7800+ #retrogame update: Installed the new experimental firmware, then played paddle games Avalanche & Super Circus Atari. My old 2600 paddles were still jerky, enough I had to apply gel lube twice. No more jitter now except mine. Super Circus Atari is hard...

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Back to Rock City Blues: Sia (as VTube Rebel Styles) accuses Pete Davidson of "cheating on me with the fcking King of Arabia!" Who put a contract out on Sia & demands Great Russia make feminism a capital crime. She & the King are mortal enemies. Rebel has stans. Watch out, Pete!

After all, didn't WB Games used to be Atari (Games)? It's the other half of Atari. Come on, Atari, you know what to do.

Highlighted in blue is "while Andrew Cuomo called donors."
Same as it ever was.
