Fact checking the Bad Bunny halftime show:
1. Yes that couple really did get married. They are a real life couple who begged Bad Bunny to come to their wedding and instead he invited them to come get married at and during his show.
2. No Bad Bunny did not perform in a dress, pearl necklace and high heels. You're just transphobic and fell for AI generated slop. Would have been totally fine if he did though.
3. Yes the show was primarily sung in Spanish, with the exception of the phrase "God bless America", a few "uh huhs" and "okays" and the entirety of Lady Gaga's portion.
4. No Bad Bunny is not an immigrant. You're just racist. Puerto Rico has been part of America since the Spanish American War in 1886. Would have been totally fine if he was though.
5. Yes you did see Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, and many other celebs and sports stars making cameo appearances as extras. And yes that was Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga performing.
6. No Bad Bunny was not making a political statement about ICE by giving his Grammy away to a little Latino boy. You're being weird. Stop being weird. That little boy was pretty explicitly supposed to represent himself as a kid, watching himself on the TV and dreaming big.
7. Yes Bad Bunny did actually perform the most watched halftime show in history, with over 136 million viewers. And no, the Kid Rock Epstein Extravaganza didn't even register as a blip on the radar, with (generously) 4.5 million YouTube streams.
8. Yes the jumbotron behind him at one point was changed to read "The only thing greater than hate is love" and if you're offended by that then yes that is actually a personal attack on you.
If you are using undocumented immigrants’ tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.
If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.
If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to “do it the right way.”
If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.
If you’re refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.
If you’re spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.
And if you’re doing all this in the name of a 34-time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.
This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values.
If you don't want it, tell them. Social media and support forums. Leadership won't listen to employees. https://github.blog/changelog/2025-08-26-grok-code-fast-1-is-rolling-out-in-public-preview-for-github-copilot/
Transformational technologies like microcomputers and smartphones were so obviously useful that rank and file workers were smuggling them into their workflows despite the best efforts of CEOs to stop them.
The "transformational" technology of LLMs is so obviously anti-useful that CEOs must resort to threats and coercion to get their rank and file workers to go anywhere near them.
