From Deniz Göktaş's spirited defense on charges of insulting Erdoğan during a comedy act: "The word 'dictator' is a political description not an insult... Another comedian could call him a 'democrat' and get more laughs."

Amid much talk that the US is about to escalate big time against Iran, it is worth recalling that this is a war of aggression - the supreme crime, from which all the lesser ones flow - and that all the senior political and military figures who started it are war criminals.

I would love to know which of the following venues in the remainder of the tour had the audacity to make these threats: · Lincoln Financial Field · Gillette Stadium · Mercedes-Benz Stadium · Lucas Oil Stadium · Bank of America Stadium · AT&T Stadium · Hard Rock Live · Raymond James Stadium
Messina Touring Group, promoter of the U.S. leg of Sheeran’s Loop Tour, said in a statement to Rolling Stone: “As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans. After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates.”
