Turning Point USA’s Halftime Show Was Exactly What You’d Expect
“The All-American Halftime Show," born out of outrage over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, fell short of the hype. From Kid Rock’s poor lip synching to Erika Kirk being MIA, it was simply dull.

Inside Bad Bunny’s Historic Super Bowl Halftime Show
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity. And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.

Actually, lots of people understood Bad Bunny

WE BOUGHT A SUPER BOWL AD.
Great halftime show with Bad Bunny. They put so much into it, really enjoyed it. 🏈
Watching the Super Bowl. The Verge has a list of some of the tech-related ads, noting the minor change to Anthropic’s ad between last week and today. OpenAI’s ad is good, similar big picture feel as their ad last year. 🏈

Immigration and Cheating in American Culture
I am an immigrant, which has given me a profound appreciation of the interplay between culture and immigration. My first time in the United States was as an exchange student in Rochester, Minnesota. I was a junior at John Marshall High School. Early into the school year, some students missed an exam and I was told they would be given the same exam as make-up a week later. I was flabbergasted.

James Pearce Jr. Arrested, Charged With Aggravated Battery, Stalking
Heard an interview with Kamala Harris. She said they had 109 days to tell them who she is. Right there she highlighted the huge mistake the Dems make and continue to make. Ever since the advent of Twitter, campaigns have been every day of every year. The Dems have been AWOL. We never should have gotten to the summer of 2024 where people have no idea of who the freaking vice president is. When are they going to see how swept under the old ways of relating to voters are.

Inspired by Lindsey Vonn the more I’m reading about her journey back to the Olympics. Heartbreaking crash, but we’ve only got one life. Go for it. 🇺🇸
The tech press did their part in giving control of the public internet to the people who are selling us out.
If I ran Firefox
if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026.
- 1. ai is exciting!
- 2. it's also in its infancy.
- 3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web.
- 4. the web is 100% our #1 priority.
- 5. so we're going to wait.
- 6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser.
- 7. we won't include ai until we know why.
- 8. and then it will be opt-in.
- 9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser.
sincerely,
the developers of firefox
