We have superbowl half time at home

Super bowl half time at home

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

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 29 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago

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.

These same snowflakes were singing 'despacito' almost a decade ago.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago

And the Macarena before that, even though they probably know knew about two words from it (heyyyy Macarena)

I mean... solution, just learn Spanish. Or look it up on LyricsTranslate.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

It’s ok, FIFA will give Kid Rick and MC Vance a halftime show at the World Cup final.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 30 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (3 children)

Proud of the melting pot?

I'm proud to be a part of the Quilt of Diversity in Canada

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 minutes ago

As a serial immigrant I don't particularly care what they call a multicultural society as long as they accept people who were not born there into it.

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

This started to be a thing when I was in grade school and I definitely thought it was pretty silly. I remember my 7th grade history teacher not knowing how to respond when I asked if the salad bowl included the native Americans whose culture the US tried to destroy.

(I was a precocious smart-ass at the time)

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

But then I have to think about salad and that's not enough red meat!

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Is "cultural mosaic" not what's used anymore?

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I've heard it both ways

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 9 points 8 hours ago

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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot

Those are some beautiful quilts, is there a particular one? This one is amazing https://quiltofbelonging.ca/

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 57 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's hilarious to me that the MAGA halftime show had lower production quality than Charlie Kirk's funeral.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 hours ago

Probably had less than when Charlie actually Kirked.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 60 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Stop

Giving

Them

Oxygen

If the media would stop giving creeps airtime (outside of ridicule), they’d fade into obscurity. But instead we get to “hear both sides of the story” when one side is just spouting nonsense and lies.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 31 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

when 5 ~~people~~ billionaires own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 9 points 9 hours ago

Which raises the question of why it's on the front page here.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Which is exactly why these morons remain relevant. News media needs this chaos to drive engagement and division.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Okay, but if we post this shit it gets upvotes. And I crave online attention and validation.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

I crave online validation too so I just repost memes, firstpost obvious takes, and post things that make me say "Neat" to the community I created for that express purpose.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] redditmademedoit@piefed.zip 3 points 6 hours ago

That old one hit wonder

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

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

Their foundational concept revolves about not being self aware.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Spanish lyrics spelled only with the English alphabet

That would be the Latin alphabet, which Spanish also uses.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

The Spanish alphabet also has characters which the English alphabet does not use, such as ñ.

While both derive from the Latin alphabet, they both have different character sets, and I thus refer to them separately. Just like how Russian and Ukrainian both derive from the Cyrillic alphabet, but they do not use all the same characters.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Fair point, but what did you mean, then? It spelled things like "compañía" as "compania"?

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, lol. I turned the subtitles on thinking it would be translated and it was just stuff like that, it was actually quite funny to me.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

Ah, I see what you mean. Pretty lazy of them!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Those fuckers have been completely ridiculous and have had zero credibility from day one. Yet here we are.
