But I saw on the year-end data heβs the global leader in music streams; it makes sense wanting to make this a global performance. Good for ratings
Ok I broke out all the pull quotes from that Athletic article about Bad Bunny and let's get some guesses as to who said each one.
This feels like a Brock Purdy answer to me. White, but more corporate than outright racist.

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims donβt report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of βjusticeβ supposed to help you

Theyβre just trying to rerun 2020, it really is that simple
I fully believe the people saying βthey wonβt hold electionsβ or βtheyβll intimidate enough people out of voting that theyβll steal the whole thingβ or βtheyβll tamper with the vote countβ are largely talking nonsense, but I also think this is very plausible and itβs gonna be real ugly
02.02.2026 18:53 β π 29 π 6 π¬ 3 π 0This is why winning the midterms itself isn't a strategy. Trump plans to ignore the results. Acknowledging this doesn't make you a doomer, but it does mean you have to plan for worst case scenarios. We gotta be ready, especially since they're telling us the plan outright.

The "Melania" movie is getting subject to perfectly reasonable mockery for its ridiculousness and perfectly reasonable rage for it corruption, but I'm here to say that if you are interested in how the American presidency works you should absolutely see it, and not to enjoy the camp. 1/x
