Patrick A. Reed

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

HELL YEAH ITS BASEBALL SEASON

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

This song "Yo Perreo Sola" is an anthem about women's right to throw ass in the club without men creeping on them

I cannot emphasize enough that what he's singing here, obscured by beeps, is "If your boyfriend doesn't eat your ass, he'd better fuck off"

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

cj (chilling) @TOS_Violator the only lasting 9/11 memory i have is when the budweiser ad with the kneeling clydesdales came on during the super bowl and i said "those horses are praying to mecca" and my friend's uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Someone get this guy to tweet about Agent Orange going to prison.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

And if you don’t think that was explicitly political you were maybe not watching things like… the sugar cane fields? Electric poles? The men grinding on each other? The little boy? The americas shout out? What moooore do you want?

This is a love song to what the Latino community brings to the US - protest in art in its purest form and its widely entertaining. Well done all the way around.

Recency bias but that is maybe the best halftime show I’ve ever seen purely on the level of artistry but also… at this moment in time in particular jaw dropping

I’m sure I’m new in saying this but wow this is great — Bad Bunny is great and the very human technical achievements here are really cool to see

No matter what anyone says, this is the most American half time show ever. I fucking love this.

That was an absolute celebration of joy. Damn

I may be old-fashioned but I just want to say that booing the Vice-President is disrespectful!

Also, fun and easy!

YOU'RE TELLING ME WE CAN HAVE OLD LADIES AND ROUND LADIES ON OUR TEE VEES DURING THE SPORTS WHAT'S EVEN HAPPENING

I have no idea what this looks like in the stadium, but the camera-work and production design on this Bad Bunny show on TV is off the charts.

Ok aside from the fact that this banger of a halftime show is going to give the right wing a collective heart attack, which is fucking awesome, how about the technical wizardry that went into that one camera take through the hedge maze

friend of mine can't dance so he pretended he's republican and stormed out of the room before bad bunny comes on

bad bunny already has more yards than the patriots

God bless the old dudes playing dominoes.
