Imagine having enough wealth to pay Ed Sheeran to play at your wedding, then spending it on Ed Sheeran playing your wedding. The mind boggles.
He wants to create a safe space for dialogue where all are welcome. Except if you upset the billionaires. Then you can fuck off and let them enjoy their genocide in peace. Empty nothing of an artist and a human. What good are the “values” in his heart if he does fuck all to act on them.
Pop Base@popbase.tv · last wk.Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”
The Dunning-Kruger effect in human form. If humanity does die I really hope it isn’t for his stupidity. There are far less tasteless ways to go out. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins has this strange duality where it’s one of the most moving and beautiful things in the alt rock canon, but also would sound absolutely right being sung by Charlie from Always Sunny
Also, when they decided it was important, billions upon billions could be spent to find a solution. It can be done again. For climate change, for poverty, for hunger… they just don’t want to. That is the only thing keeping problems from being solved. The powerful would rather hoard the wealth.
the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 2mo agoI agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Does anyone else have this thing making music… when I’m writing I can almost hear what I’m going for in my mind’s ear? Far clearer than my mind’s eye has ever been. Thing is internally I can put far more layers in than actually work in a physical space. Things clash when they have to share air.

Watching to the bitter fucking end out of grim duty is as close as I get to nationalism
The British instinct for electing fascist bellends competes with the British instinct for doing stupid stuff for the sheer unadulterated lulz. If he rebrands as Binny McBinface he might just do it.
A statement that would ring hollow even if his co-corruptor hadn't gone on national television and literally bragged about their co-corruption whilst receiving a tongue bath from his sycophant-in-chief.

Genuine cow-costume emergency. Fatherhood is an adventure.
Best wishes to all the beautiful, intelligent, wonderful humane people of America. We’re rooting for you hard.
Deep joy. Spent the afternoon waiting for a delivery from Appliances Online. Received a 4 hour window, then when it didn’t arrive was told the item was out of stock.
Big love in my heart for Australia - I miss the place frequently. Rooting for them hard tonight.
Again, the polls overestimate the support for fascism. Same thing happened in Wales in May. Mostly the bulwark was formed by progressives banding together to vote tactically. Reform may be ahead in the polls, but taken as a whole fascism is far from a majority. This can be repeated.
Half convinced that Restore is a psyop to make Reform look reasonable and electable. Either way, their combined votes were nowhere near yesterday. Pricks.
I bet not only Trump, but his entire White House team are blithely unaware of the optics here. But you can bet every other diplomatic service in the world is having a right laugh.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3mo agoHe signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.
They could have (and did) get him to sign absolutely anything as long as he didn’t have to admit he lost. £300 billion. Imagine what an actual good human being could have done with that much money. That much power. Given away to fascists by another fascist to reopen a shipping lane.
