Those Ring cameras are out of Fahrenheit 451. At the end, when the book burner turned reader runs from the state and the state has everyone track him. That scene haunted me as a kid. Now it’s real.

That was a real wedding during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. His reps confirmed the happy couple are irl in love. And yet, conservatives still said the show was an affront to American values.
