Every time they do that cruddy de-aging, it reminds me of this

Bad Bunny: So uplifting. And the words in English on the billboard: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Right on.

A Super Bowl Message From MAHA and Mike Tyson: ‘Processed Food Kills’

People seem to forget that Tyson is a convicted rapist. On-brand for this administration, I guess.

And these words on Bad Bunny’s football held up to the camera at the end: “Together We Are America.”

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

“Together, we are America”

That wedding during Bad Bunny's halftime show? It was real The couple had sent the Puerto Rican artist an invite to their wedding but ended up getting a halftime show invite, instead.

Bad Bunny helped one couple tie the knot in a very special way: during his Super Bowl halftime show.

The duo had sent the Puerto Rican musical sensation an invitation to their wedding but ended up getting a halftime show invitation instead, according to the artist's representative.

An excerpt from Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter by Kate Conger and Ryan Mac:

“>>> THE FOLLOWING DAY, Musk was sitting, despondent, in a suite at a cavernous football stadium in Glendale, Arizona. It was Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, and despite having one of the poshest seats as a guest of Rupert Murdoch, the media tycoon whose Fox network was broadcasting the game, Twitter's owner simply could not look away from his phone. During the first quarter of the football game, he had tweeted, "Go @Eagles!!!," a harmless show of support for the team from Philly, where Musk had spent time as an undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania.”

During the first quarter of the football game, he had tweeted, "Go @Eagles!!!," a harmless show of support for the team from Philly, where Musk had spent time as an undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania.”

“About forty minutes after Musk's tweet, President Joe Biden used the official @POTUS Twitter account to broadcast his own Super Bowl message. "As your presi-dent, I'm not picking favorites," he wrote, including a video of the First Lady in a custom Philadelphia jersey. "But as Jill Biden's husband, fly Eagles, fly."

The president's tweet rocketed across the platform. Despite the account having less than a fourth of Musk's followers, the @POTUS post quickly surpassed Musk's own pro-Eagles proclamation, eventually racking up 29 million views to Musk's 8.4 million.
As an enthralling game played out in front of him, Musk ignored the cheers and the bone-crunching tackles, and kept comparing his tweet against Biden's, before deleting his post in anger. He fired off an email to Twitter's product engineers, demanding they immediately find the cause, and then began making arrangements for people to meet him back at Twitter's office that night. Musk left the game early and was already back on his private jet flying to San Francisco before the red and white confetti fell for the Chiefs' victory.”

What a pathetic loser. How empty he is inside. The reason no one was interested in his tweet was that it was boring and bad!
