Chinese spy balloon

[ousdahl]

Speaking as generously as possible, I’m just a casual Rihanna fan.

The only two songs I recognized from the show are still the only two songs i could identify if I had to.

With that said, I thought the choreography was pretty awesome. The overall production was cool too, with the floating platforms and stuff.

But, the song selection overall seemed like they all kinda sounded the same. And Rihanna’s stage presence was good, and had a few good dance moves too.

But her vocals/singing voice didn’t seem virtuoso or anything, I guess?

And only one real big time hit performed/in her catalogue (umbrella). Are there others?

I was torn about bitch better have my money. Part of me thought it was edgy and badass, part of me thought it was hilarious, and part of me thought it, uh, maybe wasn’t the best song for such a short yet high-profile show.

And it’s cool they gave the whole show to her but I was also kinda waiting the whole show for some being special guest reveal that never happened

if they are going to stick with the current formula. until they age out, the halftime show should always be jlo and shakira.

Back to balloons....

Aliens are here but they are invisible.
Was up on the 20th floor and the TV went/turned on as I was standing there.
Seems Aliens like watching mogul skiing.
Or maybe the TV is on a timer.
It has to be one or the other.


I don't believe this. I think it's aliens.

Whoa, Blinken going full Beijing parrot and spouting a “one China” rhetoric…what the fuck is this, diplomacy or something?

Tho, no word yet one whether this means we will stop treating Taiwan as yet another US military outpost anyway

I didn't read a lot of this, but he was advocating for the status quo.

Yea.

So maybe the real question is why potus ever started up with the “defend Taiwan” sorta rhetoric, then?
