Oh do absolutely fuck off. My last major crisis got me a referral for 6 months time that was going to cost about 800 euro. My last mid-level crisis got me a referral that cost 100 a week. I've to manage my own mental health privately for the low low cost of 190 a month.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

Blindboy. I love him

Blindboy:
They didn't print this answer in its entirety because it was too spicy. Here’s what I submitted.

Interviewer:
Who would you award a knighthood/damehood to?

Blindboy:
Fuck off with that English shit. 1000 years ago, some profoundly violent Norman duke carried out savage ethnic cleansing on a little village in Yorkshire. Then he justified his claim to that land by wearing a silly hat full of jewels and performing a solemn ritual.
That's all that is. Royal ritual is a form of public hypnotism. It uses solemnity and the performance of seriousness to conjure a feeling of permanence around inherited power.It makes Royal entitlement feel like the weather. Something natural, inevitable and unchangeable, rather than an arbitrary arrangement created by absolute cunts, and therefore capable of being abolished. They are just people. Ask your King how his cousin Mountbatten fared on that boat in Sligo? They are just people made of flesh and bones who be ate by maggots the same as the rest of us. Id take that knighthood and give it to a snail, because of its role in the calcium cycle. I'd give the knighthood to a wasp, the big stripy butcher priest of the ditch, cutting death into smaller deaths and turning the nutrient cycle. I'd give It to a nettle, the canopy of the muck, who provides a home for worms and slugs and all the wonderful creatures that we ignore because the King Charles wants ye to marvel at the striations of his rectum.
When yere Queen died, the world remained the same and the British people left marmalade sandwiches at the gates of the palace to rot. If wasps, or snails died, we'd all die, it would be over. They are our royalty.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.

Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other
stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

Ed was in …

What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me.

And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.

I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed.
Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.

When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic:
لا شكر على واجب
"La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty.
That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.

Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people be…

Notice how there's no one moralizing about how you shouldn't say mean things about someone when they die out of respect right now? That's because as long as you're not a shitty person who intentionally hurts others without care or remorse, people don't do that.
