we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
I think "together we are America" should be the Dems new tag line
thank you bad bunny for highlighting the importance of critical power distribution infrastructure bsky.app/profile/cost...
Last year, the administration cancelled the solar for all program that was helping improve the grid and help low-income households in all 50 states and Puerto Rico bsky.app/profile/cost...
Also this one I did on the effects on Puerto Ricoβs school system for the Times Magazine www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
If you didnβt catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunnyβs halftime show, I gotcha. Hereβs one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisisβand Trumpβs role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.
At a certain level every Super Bowl ad should be a bald eagle riding a Clydesdale
Bad Bunny in a field Light poles behind him
For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El ApagΓ³n itβs because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.
βHey Pedro, do you want to be in the Bad Bunny halftime show?β
βYESβ
βOk itβs just a background dan-β
βWhere do I stand?β
I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunnyβs use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about peopleβs actual lives. Genius.
Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialismβthe sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisisβdespite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present.
The people of the Americas live on: seguimos aquΓ.
Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.
The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.
Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.
Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Bad Bunny is telling the world that the people in Puerto Rico are American citizens and deserve reliable and resilient electricity and infrastructure investment from the U.S. government.
A typical modern human stands next to an artist's rendering of the Cuban Giant Owl, which comes up to about the human's sternum. From prehistoric-fauna.com
Let me introduce Ornimegalonyx oteroi, the Cuban Giant Owl, which stood up to 1.1 m high (3.6 ft) and weighed between 9 and 30 kg (20-66 lb).
It went extinct about 6,000 years ago. During the Miocene, they likely hunted mammals: seal pups and large rodents.
God the people mad about music like this must live such sad miserable little lives

The term martyr means βwitness.β The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.
A nurse was directing traffic to safety. A nurse was trying to help a woman who had fallen. A nurse who works with veterans, a nurse who deals with law enforcement regularly in his field was shot in the back several times.
You can't hide it behind this excuse or that supposition anymore.
Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
