Farrar vs. Farrier: how to tell the difference. By @xtotl.bsky.social Toby Morris.
Screenshot of a post by artist Toby Morris with very simple sketches showing the difference between the Davids with caricatures of their heads: Farrar is bald & is shorter, placed lower on the screen, Farrier has dark hair & stubble & is taller, placed higher than Farrar on screen.

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.
With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.

ed sheeran somehow even more pathetic than i imagined?
• There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics - my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum. I respect Macklemore's strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes. However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace. I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed. If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change.
There are different approaches to being an advocate for change.

Ed Sheeran is worth more than $300 million. How much more do you need to gain a little courage to stand up against genocide?

I asked AT&T Stadium about the Rolling Stone report about how they objected to Macklemore coming to Arlington next month. They didn't comment, but as I've noted they're still hosting Kanye West in November: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

AT&T Stadium, which will host Ye this fall, objected to Macklemore
The Seattle rapper was dropped from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour bill.

So uh, yes, Macklemore did that antisemitic costume thing over a decade ago so it's understandable to look at him skeptically, but how can Kraft say that his speech at MetLife was antisemitic when he explicitly made the same point Kraft is saying here? Kraft is just lying.
"I said, Free Palestine.

“I want those words to be loud and clear, so the people from Gaza, all the way to the occupied West Bank, know that we have not forgotten them.

"And this next song was inspired by the bravery of Columbia University students who led an encampment movement that mobilized the entire world; open up hearts, myself included, so thank you to those students that risked their diplomas, that risked their tuition, that risked their scholarships, that stood up and said, no. CUAD students, Students for Justice in Palestine, and Jewish Voices for Peace. Thank you, guys.

“To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace; love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.

“So I say Free Palestine, I say Free Lebanon, I say Free Cuba, I say Free Congo, Free Sudan, I say Free all people in America living in fear of this terrorist organization, ICE. None of us will be free until we are all free."

the webworm comments section is *so fucking sane* (with debate thrown in - which is always polite and well-reasoned). not sure how this community got so good but very happy for it: www.webworm.co/notalive/#gh...
I tend to think all this talk of alignment and rogue AI agents is a kind of PR false flag - “Hey, look at this incredibly powerful but dangerous technology. You probably want really smart people like us to train it to work for us and not against us, right? To keep the guard rails on? If we don’t do it then China probably will, and god knows what kind of monster they’d put out there. It’d probably speak Asian. Anyway, forget about the frankly absurd natural resources we’re pillaging and the fact that your economy has become a massive Ponzi scheme of data centre construction, because we’re going to take care of you.”
