I want to live in a country where using Spanish in a 15-minute halftime performance doesn't cause more outrage than men r*ping children for decades.

Footage from inside Trump’s golf club Super Bowl party reveals the Bad Bunny half time show played on the big screens. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Billed as an alternative to Bad Bunny's official Super Bowl performance, Turning Point USA’s halftime show featured a half-assed, lip sync-filled set from Kid Rock. rollingstone.com/music/music…

Billed as an alternative to Bad Bunny's official Super Bowl performance, the event came off like a pyrotechnics-heavy tantrum.

“Pause that moment between the trip and the impact. Stretch it over the eighteen months between my sister’s passing and now. It is that fright, constant and prolonged.” Read “Well-Made Flesh,” new fiction by @Koye from our latest issue: vqronline.org/fiction-2024/f…

Well-Made Flesh

The King’s Cross streets are loaded, Thursday night miniskirts and Chelsea boots, pastel Hackett polo shirts and Stone Island wear, people coughing the odd virus or two in my direction.

I feel like students don't read (or teachers don't teach) as wide a swath of short fiction as in previous eras. I'd love to be wrong. Jim McPherson was the first black winner of the Pulitzer, IIRC. It's a shame he's read and recognized so little in the larger world of American letters.
