What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.

The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

This is absolutely insane.

Reminder that Steve Buscemi, National Treasure, used to be a firefighter, and when 9-11 happened, he pulled 12 hour volunteer shifts with his old ladder. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

In case you want to know the first thing I remember about him. :)

bluesky do be like that

You don’t have to share trumps racist posts. Not about the superbowl. Not about anything.

The vibe of the Halftime Show

As a late-middle-aged suburban white guy I am probably not Bad Bunny’s target audience. Hadn’t heard him before. Liked it. Wasn’t, like, I’m going to stop listening to opera and Bon Jovi and the Cars and stuff and but I would definitely listen again, and I can’t see how anyone would DISLIKE it.

Dying at the thumbs-up

The backflip!

By what standard is Russia banned but not Israel?

wait wait wait ...

TUMBLR.

THE PORN BAN GUY FROM TUMBLR IS GOING TO RUN THE WASHINGTON POST.

Look I've been pushing back on the idea that Bezos is intentionally sabotaging the paper but COME ON this is a man who thought he could just take the boobs and dicks off of *Tumblr.*

Both men’s parallel slalom finals were so tight! Gosh, the bronze medal was decided by photo finish! And Benjamin Karl, all of 40, now completely shirtless and face down in the snow after winning the gold. That’s why I so love the Olympics!

Kara Swisher at www.threads.com says Will Lewis was fired.

Below that is his letter to the Post staff.

If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT

Of course she wasn’t properly appreciated in her time because racism.

Watch Losers | Netflix Official Site In a "winning is everything" society, how do we handle failure? This series profiles athletes who have turned the agony of defeat into human triumph.

I only know about her because of the excellent Netflix series Losers, really recommend her episode (Judgement) www.netflix.com/title/801983...

All - after two years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step aside. I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and Publisher. The institution could not have a better owner. During my tenure, difficult decisions have been taken in order to ensure the sustainable future of The Post so it can for many years ahead publish high-quality nonpartisan news to millions of customers each day. With gratitude, Will

Breaking — Will Lewis out at the Washington Post. He just sent this email to staff (shared with me by staffer):

“no scissors?! did they tell Picasso no brush?!”

He's not running the post like it's Amazon, he's using the idea of "data" to offload responsibility for his own politically motivated decisions onto readers

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Review in Progress (Live Updates) Samsung's buzzed-about new phone was tricky to get my hands on, but I'm excited to use it. Here are my ongoing observations.

I think @abraralheeti.bsky.social is a fantastic reviewer and I love that she's doing a kind of blow-by-blow "live blog" of her experience with the TriFold, which is an absolutely absurd piece of tech
