The fact that nobody watched the damned thing but everyone seems to want to talk about it should say something about the state of American politics.

when 5 people own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Okay, but if we post this shit it gets upvotes. And I crave online attention and validation.

I’m going to talk about it but only as a reference point for how unpopular and sad the right actually is. If rating were votes, they wouldn’t even be top 3rd party.

Don’t forget shitty music! They also spout that sometimes

Bad Bunny’s family have been US citizens longer than diddlin Donnie’s family.

Conservatives have cried about the half time show for most of my life. I kinda feel like that’s all they do is bitch about how the world isn’t made for specifically them. Don’t ever give them what they want! They’ll just move on to the next thing to bitch about.

I feel like they still think they’re in the majority and they are just waiting for the tide to turn any day now and they will be popular and beloved, people are just being forced to watch this diverse stuff, hey guess what guys we USED TO BE PROUD OF BEING CALLED THE MELTING POT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU?

Proud it the melting pot?
I’m proud to be a part of the Quilt of Diversity in Canada

In the modern era they refer to the “salad bowl” rather than the “melting pot” because “melting pot” implies cultural erasure during integration, but “salad bowl” combines while maintaining individual unique characteristics.

It’s an old saying they used in History class here to describe the rich history of immigrants and how they built up this country: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot
Those are some beautiful quilts, is there a particular one? This one is amazing quiltofbelonging.ca

Is “cultural mosaic” not what’s used anymore?

Trump posted how bad the Bad Bunny concert was, so he obviously must have watched it.

Apparently there’s a video of him reacting to it in real time.
Which is even funnier that he couldn’t have been bothered to watch whatever this Alt-Halftime show was.

Are they still parading Kirk’s likeness? This goes beyond just “sad.” This is straight-up pitiful. Nobody else has even the baseline for being recognizable for them.

Their foundational concept revolves about not being self aware.

Just stop giving them attention for this shit. Ignore it. This is not an important thing.

As a Hispanic American, I really wish I could have understood what he was saying.
I don’t know enough Spanish to understand him, and the English subtitles didn’t help because it was just the Spanish lyrics spelled only with the English alphabet. They couldn’t have translated the subtitles? Its not like they didn’t know what he was going to sing, they practice halftime shows before the game. 77% of Americans only know English and only ~14% know Spanish as of 2024, so this was a superbowl halftime show that only ~14% of the country could understand.
Also, side note, this show kinda sucked for the people that paid for actual tickets since much of it was in those tall grass walls/designed for the camera. In the past, the shows were more like a stage concert, which was better for the people actually at the arena, but this superbowl was like a double whammy for people that paid 10k for the nosebleeds: a horrendously boring game and a halftime show designed for the people watching at home.

That would be the Latin alphabet, which Spanish also uses.
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Spanish alphabet also has characters which the English alphabet does not use, such as ñ.

“All American” in the sense that it is a fantastic barometer of America’s decline (apologies to the other countries in America)?

It’s hilarious to me that the MAGA halftime show had lower production quality than Charlie Kirk’s funeral.
unmagical@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Probably had less than when Charlie actually Kirked.
