Bad Bunny brought a sugar cane field, wedding, dance party, Lady Gaga's Die With a Smile, his Grammy, and Puerto Rican culture to the #SuperBowl. Respect!

Watching the Grammy's red carpet to see which look is in for publicists this year and it's still black dress, big black bag. Whew.

"We had to remove the president and his wife because he's a criminal the people hate" is quite a line for the US to take right now.

Our lucky New Year's Lemon Pig is all snout.

We don’t need driverless cars any more than we need writerless words.

"He operates with a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing.” Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles who explains to Vanity Fair that she's working for a dry drunk with no impulse control.
