When you read about Linux, you probably see a lot of talk about commands to use in the terminal. The command line can seem intimidating if you aren't used to it, which is understandable. But what if we told you you don't have to worry about that?

It's Bad Bunny's world, and we're all just living in it. Or at least that's how pop culture feels right now. After winning Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys — a milestone moment for Latin music — and topping Spotify's global charts for a fourth time in 2025 with 19.8 billion streams, Benito now heads to the biggest stage of all as the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner on Feb. 8, 2026.

With that level of cultural gravity, every move feels intentional. Throughout his rise, the 31-year-old rapper has centered his Puerto Rican identity even as his audience went global. In a moment when immigration is once again a flashpoint in American culture — underscored by his recent anti-ICE remarks at the Grammys — that commitment feels sharper than ever.

So, as Bad Bunny heads to the Super Bowl stage, the obvious question is simple: What does he choose to perform when the entire world is watching? With a catalog that spans reggaetón, trap, pop, and traditional island sounds, the possibilities for this 13ish-minute set are vast.

Here are some of our picks.

"NUEVAYoL"

Kicking things off with the standout opening track from his Grammy-winning album Debí Tirar Más Fotos feels like the obvious move. "NUEVAYoL" sets the tone immediately: confident, nostalgic, and rooted in his story.

The track opens with a nod to Puerto Rican salsa history, sampling El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico’s 1975 song "Un Verano en Nueva York," before snapping into Bad Bunny’s modern, dembow-driven sound. It's a celebratory collision of island roots, Nuyorican legacy, and Benito's global pop ambition — the perfect bridge between Latin America and the U.S.

"BAILE INoLVIDABLE"

Translated to "unforgettable dance," this six-minute salsa centerpiece frames life as a fleeting party — one that must eventually end, so you might as well make it memorable. Built on rich piano lines, trumpet flourishes, and layered vocals, the track pays tribute to classic salsa with a big-band feel.

Its inclusion in the Super Bowl halftime show teaser, set to him dancing alongside others beneath a vibrant Flamboyán tree, signals that this moment will be as much about cultural celebration as it is about perreo: heritage and spectacle folded into one stadium-sized performance.

"Tití Me Preguntó"

Built around a frantic dembow beat and rapid-fire name-checking of fictional girlfriends, "Tití Me Preguntó" finds Bad Bunny leaning fully into his bravado. It's playful without feeling disposable, absurd without losing precision, and it's a dancefloor burner.

The track is also one of the defining hits from his 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti, which made history as the first all-Spanish album to become the most-streamed project globally. More than just a viral moment, "Tití Me Preguntó" captures his ability to turn internet energy into stadium-sized bangers. It's loud, fast, and designed to send a crowd into instant motion.

"Callaíta"

"Callaíta" is Bad Bunny in soft-focus mode. Built on breezy production by Tainy, the song captures the tension between public composure and private desire. On the Super Bowl stage, it would offer a rare breather: a moment of intimacy and atmosphere amid the noise. Not every halftime set needs to sprint. Sometimes, control is the flex.

"DÁKITI"

“DÁKITI” remains one of Bad Bunny’s most effortlessly cool records. It's a slow burn anchored by its hypnotic beat, understated synths, and his chemistry with Puerto Rican rapper Jhayco. The track is an electro-fused blend of house and reggaetón that pulses like a hazy club track and moves like a reggaetón anthem.

It’s a crossover without compromise: Spanish-language, minimalist, and globally dominant. In a halftime context, “DÁKITI” would read as a reminder that he rewrote the rules of what mainstream could look and sound like.

"Safaera"

A fan-favorite for a reason, “Safaera” is chaotic in the best way. It's a five-minute genre-hopping monster that ricochets between reggaetón, old-school samples, chant-alongs, and club mayhem. Featuring Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Jowell & Randy and Puerto Rican rapper Ñengo Flow, it plays like a DJ set compressed into one track, with a surprise Jaws sample lurking in the mix.

While past legal disputes over its samples (especially its heavy use of Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On") once made the track difficult to perform, those issues have since been resolved — clearing the way for its full, glorious chaos on the Super Bowl stage. If Bad Bunny wants a moment that breaks the internet in real time, this is it.

"I Like It"

Perhaps his most visible U.S. crossover to date, "I Like It" introduced millions of listeners to Bad Bunny's voice and charisma alongside American rapper Cardi B and Colombian singer J Balvin. It also topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Bad Bunny's first number one song in the U.S.

Built on a boogaloo sample and bursting with personality, the track bridges generations and geographies: Latin old-school, Bronx energy, and modern pop in one package. A guest appearance, particularly from Cardi B, would add another layer of star power to an already massive set.

"La Romana"

OK, this is a bit of a wildcard, but if Bad Bunny wants to throw it all the way back to his first studio album, 2018's X 100pre, then "La Romana" would be a fuego choice. The song finds him trading verses with Dominican dembow titan El Alfa, flitting between Latin trap and straight-up dembow energy. This song would go crazy with some pyrotechnics.

"Caro"

Alternatively, he could pivot to "Caro" and bring out Ricky Martin, who featured on the track, for good measure. The pairing would instantly register with U.S. audiences (and elder millennials), linking Bad Bunny's generation to one of Puerto Rico's most recognizable global exports.

More importantly, "Caro" remains one of his boldest early statements: a playful, defiant anthem about self-worth, gender expression, and the refusal of respectability politics. Alongside Ricky Martin — one of the most visible queer Latino pop stars in history — the moment could become a powerful celebration of unapologetic self-definition on the most mainstream stage in American entertainment.

"EoO"

"EoO" is pure, unfiltered reggaetón, a Grammy-winning banger for Best Global Music Performance that leans into the roots of perreo itself. The title plays off the last syllables of perreo, and the track's dirty beat and relentless groove make it an anthem for any crowd ready to dance.

With its effortless swagger and club-ready energy, it's exactly the kind of song that could give the halftime show a kinetic high point.

"CAFé CON RON"

Is this wishful thinking? Maybe. But the plena ensemble Los Pleneros de la Cresta would be an excellent addition to the Super Bowl stage.

With Afro-Puerto Rican plena rhythm and call-and-response energy, the track feels communal and jubilant, like a street block party brought to life. With its title literally meaning "coffee and rum," it evokes simple, everyday morning rituals and the island's rich musical heritage as much as it does a good time. Its presence on the set would be a full-on cultural assertion, threading century-old rhythms into the halftime frame.

"DtMF"

For the sentimental types, you probably heard "DtMF" all over your TikTok FYP last summer. (Bad Bunny's emotional reaction to the trend racked up a cool 189 million views on the app.) Short for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (“I should have taken more photos”), the track is equal parts introspective and uplifting — a meditation on cherishing the time you have with people and, in some cases, places.

It's also built to be sung out loud. Through its lively interplay of rhythm and chant, Bad Bunny turns remembrance into celebration, transforming nostalgia into something communal. After all, it's a sentiment we all can relate to. On a Super Bowl stage, it would land with the force of a mass singalong, turning private memories into a shared, stadium-wide release.

"La Borinqueña"

Not a Bad Bunny song, but including the Puerto Rican national anthem "La Borinqueña" in his set would be a powerful statement and a nod to where he comes from and why representation at this scale matters.

Super Bowl LX is just a few days away. Do you have a plan for how you're going to watch it without cable?

If you're reading this, we're guessing the answer is no. That's why we're here today. People who subscribe to cable or satellite TV or use an antenna don't have to worry about this, but cord cutters around the United States need answers. Let's find them.

Whether you're watching for the intriguing on-field matchup between the Seahawks and Patriots, the Bad Bunny halftime show, or the Pokémon 30th anniversary commercial, cord-cutters need a way to see all that stuff.

The good news is that the game is airing on NBC this year, meaning all of the festivities will livestream on Peacock. The bad news is that Peacock no longer offers a free trial, and the cheapest service tier doesn't offer live sporting events. At minimum, you'll need to pay $10.99 for a month of the service. Or, you know, get a password from a friend.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET.

After the game is over, you can just cancel it and go on with your life, or you can use it to watch all of Yellowstone or whatever before the month is up. The world is your oyster.

There are some other slightly more complicated options, but none of them are free without caveats. Streaming cable alternatives like YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, and any others should work as long as they carry your local NBC affiliate. Some of those, such as YouTube TV, do offer free trials for those who have never taken advantage of that before, but be warned: The monthly charge for these services is significantly higher than Peacock because they're meant to replace cable. If you forget to cancel after the game is over, you could be out nearly $100.

So yeah, in summary, biting the bullet and buying a month of Peacock is probably the simplest solution here if you want to host a Super Bowl party without paying for cable.

We all have a bunch of old cables that work just fine, so there's no apparent pressure to get rid of them or replace them right away. A good quality cable won't have any sort of physical failure during normal home use ever.

When the Artemis II spaceship carries four astronauts around the moon, it will also bring four miniature proxies of the crew made from their own cells. 

Alongside crew commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen will fly lab-grown tissue samples designed to mimic parts of the crew's bodies, particularly bone marrow, a key component of the immune system. The NASA experiment, called AVATAR — short for A Virtual Astronaut Tissue Analog Response — aims to show how living human cells respond to deep-space radiation and weightlessness.

Before launch, which could occur as early as March 6, doctors will draw blood from each crew member. Scientists will then grow cells from those samples and place them into chips about the size of a computer thumb drive. During the 10-day mission, the chips will soak up the same radiation and microgravity as their human counterparts. 

"This is a small experiment, but it could lead to really big impacts for healthcare, both for our astronauts, but also people here back on the earth," said Jacob Bleacher, NASA’s chief exploration scientist.

Artemis II marks NASA's first crewed mission beyond low-Earth orbit since Apollo — and the first to place biomedical research at the center of a lunar flight. The Orion spaceship, named Integrity by the crew, will travel beyond Earth's protective magnetic bubble, exposing the astronauts to radiation levels far higher than those aboard the International Space Station. That's an opportunity for scientists to begin writing the playbook for interplanetary travel, learning how to keep humans alive in the unforgiving wilds of space.

Outside the ship, space is vast — incomprehensibly so. But inside the capsule, "space" is among the scarcest resources. Orion's habitable area is closer to a studio apartment than a space station, shaping everything from how astronauts move to how they store biological samples. NASA researchers have built that constraint into the studies themselves.

One investigation, known as Immune Biomarkers, focuses on how deep space alters immune systems. Previous research has shown that spaceflight can weaken immune responses and awaken dormant viruses, such as shingles and cold sores. 

Because Orion lacks refrigeration, astronauts will collect their spit by licking treated paper like stamps and storing them in small booklets. Scientists will rehydrate the samples after the capsule returns to Earth.

"Saliva is basically a window into how our immune system is functioning," Bleacher said.  

Archer study

Another study, Artemis Research for Crew Health and Readiness (Archer), will examine how astronauts sleep, think, and get along in deep space. Crew members will wear wrist devices, similar to a Fitbit, to monitor their activity and rest. Researchers will pair that data with cognitive testing and behavioral assessments. 

The fitness trackers will also help NASA study how the foursome handle exercising in Orion's confined quarters, where increased breathing will raise carbon dioxide levels.

A third effort, Spaceflight Standard Measures, extends a health-monitoring program NASA began in low-Earth orbit in 2018. Astronauts will provide blood, urine, and saliva before and after the mission and complete tests of balance, strength, and endurance. 

Microgravity takes a toll on astronauts' bones and muscles, but NASA wants to know how quickly the crew can bounce back to physical labor. Shortly after splashdown off the California coast, the crew will don spacesuits and complete a simulated spacewalk and obstacle course to gauge their recovery.

After all, if NASA wants to send humans on a months-long journey to Mars, those astronauts won't have rehab to get them in shape once they arrive.

Radiation exposure study

Radiation remains one of the largest unknowns for long-duration space travel. Earth's magnetic field and the Van Allen radiation belt, a zone of charged particles around the planet's magnetosphere, help shield low‑orbiting spacecraft like the space station from much of the sun's outbursts and cosmic rays. But Artemis II will go beyond that, into a more hostile radiation environment. 

Artemis II astronauts will carry personal radiation sensors in their pockets, while detectors mounted throughout the cabin will track exposure levels. Additional monitors developed with the German Space Agency will measure high-energy particles believed to pose increased health risks.

AVATAR study

Radiation data will also inform one of the mission's most unusual experiments: the organ-on-a-chip devices containing the crew's living cells.

NASA will house the AVATAR tissue chips in a battery-powered box that regulates temperature and nutrient delivery throughout the flight. After the mission, scientists will analyze how gene activity changed within individual cells, comparing flight samples with copies on Earth. 

The work aims to reveal how deep-space radiation and weightlessness affect the development of blood cells. And it will also serve as a test case for whether these chips can predict health outcomes.

"This will be very important for building both our understanding of the stresses of just doing the very first Artemis II, but [also] later on, as we go and establish a sustained presence on the moon and then hopefully go to Mars," said Mark Clampin, deputy associate administrator for NASA science. "It's a way, maybe in the future, that we can actually build [personalized] health kits that help us ensure our astronauts are safe."
