The "Fled Sheeran Tour." I LIKE it. And it would be badass to support these musicians who put their consciences before their livelihoods. I'd pay to see that show. &:^)

The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour. This is the statement they published on Instagram:
All of Ed Sheeran’s opening acts and his touring band have dropped out of the remaining dates of his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore.

Anyone having real problems with the Apple Watch with watchOS26 Workouts usability? I’m constantly failing to record my workouts because it’s stopped showing intermediate option screens that I can’t see because I’m not wearing my damn glasses during a workout.
Well, think we’re gonna be 3D printing a bunch more Aztec death whistles
Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

if studios are supposedly clamouring to work with AI 'actor' Tilly Norwood – because the AI is so incredibly hyperrealistic and amazing – then why, in the first 15 seconds of their hyped promo video, do we see the classic malformed fingers of AI nightmares? www.theguardian.com/...

Labeling an entire class of people extremists based on one shooting would be bad enough - but the shooter wasn't trans. The only trans person involved in this was surprised and horrified by what happened and began cooperating immediately with police

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

I haven’t seen the petition, but I have heard Congresswoman Maxine Waters saying that Melania’s citizenship needs to be investigated.
The hatred of the left, and obedience to Donald Trump is escalating to a point of no return for some of his CULT. Remember who supports him. Family members, friends, co-workers, and radical right-wing politicians. Let them know you will always remember their support for him.
