Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.

These are some of the dumbest and most delusional motherfuckers on the planet, their brains are cooked by never being told no and they view the human world as a pure financial abstraction, stop giving them more credit than they deserve

I think the lesson of the day, which almost all minority people understand, is that you just don't get to be apolitical. And you particularly can't be apolitical by complying with a blatantly political instruction when you have near infinite money and freedom.

Very funny that Ed Sheeran, who was so keen to co-opt and monetise Irish culture, failed to take into account how ingrained support for Palestine is in a country that has suffered from famine and genocide from its overbearing neighbour (where he was born and raised)
Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, and Finneas have said that they would withdraw from Ed Sheeran’s tour. apnews.com/article/ed-s...

Thank you Macklemore for using your platform and continuing to speak out against the genocide.

Society will progress when, and only when, we accept that the problem here is gambling adverts, not her being nude
I get why athletes are outraged by Sydney Sweeney's sports betting ad, but I fear this may be the point.

The furore is a neat cover for what it's actually selling (gambling) & to whom (young men and boys, who are esp vulnerable to gambling, the deadliest addiction there is)

Kraft is the villain here but Ed Sheeran is still a little bitch. What's the point of having a squillion dollars if you are still too much of a coward to tell some dork ass landlord to eat shit?

Brilliant statement by Macklemore. Fuck Ed Sheeran.
New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.

Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

Ms. Rachel:
"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows."

"If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Lily Wachowski is so cool.

Most celebrities use high profile interviews to be like "it was such a pleasure to work with so and so on such and such" and she's like "JK Rowling funds trans genocide and Elon Musk is a fascist misrepresenting my work to destroy the planet"

Let her make more movies.

The Premise?

THE PREMISE‽

It’s the Muppet Show! They have to put on music, they have to light the lights etc.

A human is consumed by (or embraces) chaos.

The old men heckle.

What do they want, Pigs In Space?
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.

Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

Wow. And all it took was creating one of the most destructive companies in Earth's history, who has done harm so deep that it can never be undone.

If only we just started a hundred more Amazons, we could end world hunger.

Statement from President Connolly:

We are in a world facing the existential threat posed by war and climate change, both of which are inextricably interlinked.

I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted.

so long as governments, policy makers, and regulatory bodies continue to treat tech companies/products and their underlying anti-democratic and fascist ideologies as something separable, things will continue to get worse for fundamental rights and democracy
