Un monde parallèle où la préfecture de police parle de « violences » en montrant du serum phy, un foulard, des boules quiès et des paires de lunettes. Lundi dernier, un policier a fracturé la mâchoire d'un adolescent de 14 ans avec un tir de lance-grenade Cougar : www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...
un tweet de la préfecture de police qui montre le matériel confisqué (lunettes, serum phy et boule quiès) et un message : "Manifester est un droit. La violence ne l’est pas. Avant les rassemblements, les policiers procèdent à des contrôles et saisissent les matériels susceptibles d’être utilisés pour commettre des violences ou des dégradations."

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!
A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top.

The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements:

    Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below.

    Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam.

    Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground.

    Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched.

The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.
