@JKHomestead @sportingnews It amazes me how someone thinks they're ridiculing an athlete for being the tenth best in the world at a tournament. 🤦♂️

Hunter Hess says he flashed an L after his Olympic halfpipe qualifying run as a response to Donald Trump's comments about him.
"Apparently, I'm a loser."
Hess added: "I worked so hard to be here. I sacrificed my entire life to make this happen. I'm not going to let controversy like that get in my way. I love the United States of America. I cannot say that enough. My original statement, I felt like I said that, but apparently people didn't take it that way. I'm so happy to be here, so happy to represent Team USA."

@RealKidPoker You may not think he's exceptional, but there has to be a reason he's been **the most-streamed artist on Spotify four of the last six years**. You don't beat out Taylor Swift as a fluke. He has a large, diverse audience, likely one that the NFL wanted to draw to watch the game.

I always watch the halftime show so that I can share with you all, my expert opinion on it:
I like reggae and reggaeton, and have since I was young and listen to quite a bit.
Doesn’t matter to me if it’s in Spanish, English, or Spanglish, it’s all about the beat and the rhythm.
This was certainly “a show” with transitions and a story being told, but I’m not fluent in Spanish, nor is the majority of the audience, so I wasn’t able to follow the story all that well.
Corn fields, a wedding, a barbershop, I think I get the connection, then the Grammy for the little boy in Puerto Rico, “This one is for you kid- you too can live the Puerto Rican dream…in Los Angeles like I did.”
As for the artist, I don’t think he’s exceptionally talented at anything and it makes me think of boy bands.
Put a group of good looking boys together, have them dance and get the teenager girls to scream, and don’t worry about their singing talent- it’s mostly irrelevant.
Write catchy tunes, have them sing them, almost Milli Vanilli style.
Bad Bunny seems like that to me, packaged really well, catchy music, doesn’t have to really sing and auto tune can help him sound half decent.
But I Don’t see a raw musical talent like a Justin Bieber, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, etc.
There are many reggaeton artists who could do exactly what he just did.
I thought the addition of Lady Gaga, a true icon, was brilliant, as was the other dude I don’t know who could actually sing, albeit in Spanish.
For me, I don’t think you should ever really have a young artist do this show.
To reach iconic status you need to cross generations and be around at least 10-15 years.
It was better than I expected it to be, and I’m glad they chose a path that was less controversial than they could have.
I can only guess that they choose artists in the modern era that will garner the most eyeballs, targeting those that will love it, those that will hate it, and those that will talk about it being amazing or awful on podcasts and social media.
I don’t think the goal of the show is to be for everyone anymore, we live in a very different world now where controversy sells, anger drives clicks, and divisiveness is the norm.
I wish we could go back to the days when a Michael Jackson performed and the entire world was in awe, and aligned at how amazing it was.
My prediction going forward is that they are always going to choose an artist that some love, and others loathe.
It’s a recipe that works.

@David_Jagneaux It was cool...I don't know much about his music, but I'm all for expanding my musical exposure. There's a reason he's topped most of the annual Spotify most-streamed charts the last few years. I just wish they'd provided English captions.

@kathunter Don't worry...I think we could weather the loss of Ozempic with the chicken/broccoli/corn tortilla/"one other thing" diet. 😉

If they shut off the Ozempic some stuff is going to go down.

@LawTubeSean @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia Trying to open her door was a violation of her rights...what was the articulable crime she'd committed?
English

@Vidgames @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia What do you think "get out of the car" means?
It wasn't a violation of her rights. They were affecting an arrest.
English

@DHSgov What a disgusting display, continuing to lie about and demeaning a US citizen who's dead at the hands of rogue agents for being in traffic. Last I knew, traffic violations weren't capital crimes...and, no, she didn't try to run him over. He was clear enough to fire three shots.
English

The media continues to fail the American people in their reporting on the events in Minneapolis.
New evidence shows that the anti-ICE agitator was STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning.
The evidence speaks for itself. The legacy media has lost the trust of the American people.
English

@thetodd240 @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia The ICE agent who ended up shooting her had her license plate on the video he recorded as he walked around her car. If you watch his video, which is all over the news today, you'd see all that. He didn't need to shoot her. 2/2
English

@thetodd240 @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia Where is this info coming from? She was reportedly going to pick up her kid at school, and video shows her waving ICE vehicles through, before she could drive off. That's not a crime. And if it was, lethal force isn't warranted for a traffic violation or for driving away. 1/2
English

@LawTubeSean @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia The agents weren't telling her to stop. She was already stopped, waiting for her wife to get in the car and for the ICE agent who ended up shooting her to come around her vehicle. And an ICE agent was trying to open her door, a violation of her rights.
English

@johndoe20472947 @drunkanim @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia "Ice watch"? What does that even mean? Like you think she was hunting Ice agents or something? You guys will believe any lie you're told...
English

@drunkanim @Vidgames @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia Sigh. Its reasonable to flee from an agent (who is, from your perspective, likely to not even be an actual federal agent) yelling "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE CAR!!!" as the very first thing he says, while pulling your door open
English

@drunkanim @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia First, watch some videos including the one from the agent's own phone...she talked to him, so he wasn't in front of the car, he was next to it. She backed up first to literally steer clear of the agent. Her wheels were turned away from him. She drove off when an ICE agent... 1/2
English

@Vidgames @MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia You sound so stupid. You know how not to die like a retard? Listen to agents and don’t try to run them over 🤡
English

@MarkRWeaver @AdameMedia This is your thinking and you're a lawyer? Imagine you're a woman and some angry, overreacting ICE agents are trying to open your door, yelling "Get the fuck out of your car!" What about her rights? What about use-of-force rules? And it's not clear she stopped for a violation.
English

@AdameMedia Next time you’re stopped for a traffic violation, just yell “I’m pulling out and then speed away.” What will happen next? 🧐
English

@PezRadar @Macd00dle That's awesome and beautiful, Adam. Congrats...best of luck and love!
English

@Jusebs12 @TheRickWilson The "strategy" is, Trump makes an announcement that makes him look magnanimous and decisive, but in fact nothing changes, because he doesn't have the power he claims he has. Peters was convicted of a state crime, and the president can only pardon federal crime. 🤷♂️
English

@TheRickWilson I think you’re underestimating the strategy behind this move.
English

Tina Peters is going nowhere.
She's a convicted criminal found guilty by a jury of her peers of state crimes.
Trump has as much power to pardon her as he does to confer knighthoods, which is to say, none at all.
For all y'all pocket-Constitution bros, this one should be easy to understand.
MAGA is clowning themselves AGAIN.

@spazziehotdog @GeorgieGeorge40 @JamieBonkiewicz Imagine I'm selling a car—you test drive it and plan to buy. Then I say, "...but I'm taking out the seats."
The GOP plan to fund the gov't doesn't renew healthcare subsidies, so if the Dems agreed, people would suffer massive insurance hikes. That's why the Dems are voting No.
English

@GeorgieGeorge40 @JamieBonkiewicz Can you explain to us why the democrats are voting no? I feel as if there is something missing.
English

@gtconway3d Could it be the new US Attorney used autopen to sign the indictments?
English

@RhondaRides @RepRaskin Two sets of statistics increasing over the same period doesn't prove a relationship. The US had nearly 165 million registered vehicles in 1983, while it rose to nearly 300 million in 2024. Would you then say autism—or the number of vaccines—goes up with car registrations?

Uh, I think I’d like a second opinion.
