New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."

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.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will …

10. Hard to even know where to start in commenting on this report because it's such a jumble of grievances, lies, and accelerationist fever dreams. But this paragraph floors me. Not only is it talking about AI agents doing the science, it's utterly ignorant of the information economics of science.

n such a world, experimental information becomes a tradeable commodity,
and price mechanisms replace slow institutional coordination. Markets could
form to support the scientific enterprise, such as prediction markets informing
grantmakers about technologies on the horizon, bounty markets directing re-
sources toward unsolved problems, and reputation markets tracking which
agents produce reliable results. Agents would interact directly, exchanging data,
hypotheses, and compute time through microtransactions. The whole system
runs continuously, at speeds no human institution could match, but is guided by
human judgment about which breakthroughs merit large bounties, and which
questions require framing that machines cannot yet provide.
