Bad Bunny: the beginner’s guide for bewildered football fans

Creatix Entertainment / September 29, 2025 So the NFL just announced that Bad Bunny is headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on Feb 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium (Santa Clara, CA). If your first thought was “the who?”, don’t worry—we got you. By the end of this, you’ll know why the league booked a rabbit and why millions will be screaming in Spanish with frightening accuracy. ( Reuters ) TL;DR (but fun) The mean bunny is:  Incredible. Puerto Rican singer/rapper Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio —stage name Bad Bunny —went from grocery-bagger to global pop dominator in a few years. He’s been Spotify’s most-streamed artist three years in a row (2020–2022) —the first in the world to do it consecutively. ( Wikipedia ) Historic. In 2020 he dropped El Último Tour del Mundo (The World's Last Tour) , the first all-Spanish album ever to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 . In 2022 his Un Verano Sin Ti  (A Summer Without You) spent 13 weeks at No. 1 and became the first S...

The Top 40 Hip-Hop Slang Terms Every Baby Boomer Should Know

Creatix Culture / September 28, 2025 Hip-hop isn’t just a sound—it’s a culture and a language. If you’re a Baby Boomer who wants to connect with, at least get a sense of, the culture that framed a significant part of the lives of your kids, grandkids, students, younger co-workers, or culture at large, reading this primer is a good starting point. This will help you follow lyrics, memes, and everyday conversation without missing the point. These words aren’t gatekeeping; they’re shortcuts to tone including praise, shade, humor, and even serious surban wisdom.  The Top 40 Hip Hop "Glossary" in Plain English Bars — Lines of rap lyrics; written words in a verse.

Florida is rolling back school vaccine mandates: will this become a National trend?

Creatix Society / September 27, 2025 In recent years Florida has become a conservative icon largely through its political leadership and policy making choices that resonated nationally. Under Governor Ron DeSantis, the state positioned itself as a political science laboratory for right-leaning governance. Florida pushed back against federal COVID-19 restrictions, limited school discussions on gender and race, expanded gun rights, advanced parental choice in education, and is now moving to roll back some school vaccine mandates. These moves, combined with aggressive cultural messaging, turned Florida into a stage for national conservative priorities, often setting trends later echoed in other Republican-led states. The combination of rapid population growth, high-profile policy battles, and a governor with presidential ambitions cemented Florida’s image as both a symbol and a testing ground for modern conservative politics. Regarding demographics, Florida has gained a lot of movers from...

November 2022 Was Another October 1492: Learn How to Live, Learn, Work, and Invest in an AI-Driven World

Creatix / September 26, 2025 November 2022 was the October 1492 of our times.  October 1492 and November 2022 each mark inflection points where a new “world” opened—one geographic, the other cognitive. Columbus’s landfall connected previously isolated continents, catalyzing centuries of exchange, empire, science, and capitalism, alongside devastating conquest, disease, dispossession, and the transAtlantic slave trade. November 2022, when conversational AI went mainstream, similarly linked previously separate domains of knowledge and labor: language became a universal computer interface, work began to speed up, and new industries began to form, while fresh risks (bias, surveillance, disinformation, and economic displacement) came into view. 1492 redrew maps and supply chains; 2022 began to redraw workflows and information flows. Both moments rewarded navigators and changed the human world forever. If 1492 launched the Age of Colonization with human conquistadors, 2022 launched the A...
