thats so brave of her i would never get married in front of bad bunny just in case there was still a chance

[King Roy @RoyIsThaTruth]

Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.

Not Bad Bunny.

Not Benito.

His real name.

His family name.

Then he grabbed the mic and said:

“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”

In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.

And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.

Because the message was that important to me.

They said he was “un-American.”

They said nobody would understand him.

They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”

And he SHOWED OUT!

He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

He staged a wedding on the field.

He recreated a bodega.

He gave us a whole scene of family and love.

He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.

All in his native language.

And he didn’t flinch.

His lyrics were clear messages:

“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”

“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”

And that last line:

“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”

Hopefully my loved ones will never move.

That’s about families being separated.

Forced to leave.

Displacement.

Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.

He made the mainstream come to him.

He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.

And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

You have watched The Moment nearly 30 million times already, why not watch it once or twice more, in super slow motion

To give an idea as to how whopper a moment Parrott's winner is - I got a message of congratulations from a Spanish guy I rented an AirBnB off a year ago

Putting Cillian next to her is so funny bc he really is her antithesis. In it purely for the love of the art form. 0 fucks abt public perception. Has principles and stands by them. Hates monarchs. Does not know what a meme is.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.

*****

"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.

My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.

At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.

At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.

At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.

At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.

I’m writing this to tell you something simple:

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.

Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.

You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.

You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.

With love and gentleness,

Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

Israeli Embassy in Athens under siege last night as the city comes out to protest the holocaust in Gaza and the IDF kidnapping of comrades on the Global Flotilla. This is how we resist their fascism comrades.
Solidarity is our weapon.

Israel committing genocide

We are literally witnessing a live-streamed mass kidnapping of 497 PEOPLE from 46 COUNTRIES by Israel in international waters

I feel like I’m losing my mind! The world has gone mad

World leaders - Israel is abducting YOUR OWN citizens right now! WHERE THE F*** ARE YOU?!
