When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.
Weird. I tried to warn libertarians about Trump

Hemsworth should stick with his initial instincts on this one.
Bizarre dystopian Superbowl commercial where AIexa+ tries to kill Chris Hemsworth many different ways, then offers him a massage. And this is to try to convince folks that AI is good? I thought it was a promo for a Black Mirror episode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha92...

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity.

And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.
