We have a moral obligation to care for the planet for future generations, not just ours.

Exactly, take him (Kraft) to court…He’s (Sheeran) done it before for the three-chord defence.

Honestly, just cancel and take Kraft to court.

The longer he leaves it the worse it gets. Read the room @edsheeran and cancel the tour, lose a lot of money, but maybe save what’s left of any credibility you might still have.

Reposting this because it’s relevant today. I saw Pansy Division in Boston in the late Nineties; they were introduced as “Pansy Diversion”, they stopped playing and asked to be re-introduced properly, and were.

Remember his answer to the question, ‘Are you going to be a Dictator?’, “Only on Day One”, and it’s always Day One.

I saw it in *digital* projection (impressive) when it came out. As the opening scroll continued, you could feel the energy, that was initially high in the audience , slowly seep away, and then the movie started…

MAGA Christianity and the Return of Religious Coercion
The right is increasingly embracing an anti-social version of the Christian faith that favors restrictive control with none of the underlying moral obligations.

My theory, for what it’s worth, it’s another fictional “threat”, but the only way to prove that there was no “threat” was that the plane (AT1) was not blown up. Meanwhile, in the food trolley, our Nero gets to claim “another assassination attempt” while the other plane is perfectly safe.

Brad Scanlan @bradscanlan.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
I don’t think that there was a credible threat, but manufactured to say there was (“there always is”), therefore, AF1 was perfectly safe for everyone else. It doesn’t look good, though.
