Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.
His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 
I sued them for wrongful termination and won.
So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Reach get fucked. Local news journalism should be part of the license fee. This is very bad for accountability right when we need it most.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.
The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour.
This is the statement they published on Instagram:

Macklemore is a real case study in how you can be Kind of a Dumb Guy but still end up broadly on the right side of most things merely by being generally quite good-natured, because questions like "should trans people exist?" and "is it bad to do a genocide?" are actually really uncomplicated.

What if you campaigned for benefits of working age people to rise like the state pension instead of pushing for poor pensioners to be more impoverished? Also it is fiscally sustainable if they taxed WEALTH, which means clawing back from wealthy pensioners. Just a thought!
State Pension spending accounts for nearly half of the projected increase in social security spending by 2029-30.
It is not fiscally sustainable for the State Pension to rise forever by more than the earnings of a typical worker.

I made it to 2.5 minutes. Apart from all the points mentioned by Richard below, it starts with a joke about whether a blind busker is really blind, and then our first ‘relatable guy’ is some prick wearing pervert glasses. It’s not just the ‘animation’ that is repulsive.
I watched 5 mins so that you don't have to.
As it has all the humanity of a vacuum cleaner, I'm sure that non-sentient non-humans find it hilarious. The makers also have an #AI bot replying to criticisms under the video.
Execrable.
