Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
Congrats to the Seahawks on a huge win.
An extraordinary Super Bowl, delivered at a scale only California can.
From Santa Clara this year to Los Angeles hosting next year, the Golden State keeps setting the standard. No other state comes close!
Bad Bunny's entire Super Bowl performance “rebuked the notion that he is some culture-war proxy being foisted upon an American public that wants its stars to shut up and sing,” Spencer Kornhaber argues: theatln.tc/hUu0xoDp

Treading on brown people. Racial profiling is all they do.

"When a federal immigration agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis today, the details were fresh but the story was familiar," writes @dgraham.bsky.social:
Judge Sara Ellis all but told us today would happen😭
“ICE claims in its own mission statement the whole point of the organization is to ‘ensure the safety of the public and our communities.’ In what world does this ensure public safety? I can’t see how a community could possibly be protected by the same people who are actively coming to kill them.”
NYT: “In the last 4 months, immigration officers fired on at least 9 people in 5 states + D.C., all while in their vehicles. In each case, officials claimed the agents fired in self-defense, fearing they’d be struck by the vehicle. At least 1 other died.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/
