The message from the left to Ed Sheeran is basically, “support us publicly, or we’ll try to cancel you.”
They preach tolerance, yet seem completely intolerant of anyone who refuses to adopt their political viewpoint.
Ed Sheeran hasn’t even taken the opposing side, he simply doesn’t want to publicly campaign on Israel and Gaza.
Apparently even neutrality is now unacceptable.
I just want people to understand ONE thing about this whole Ed Sheeran and Macklemore situation:
HE WAS WARNED.
Macklemore did the Palestine bit on the first night in New Jersey. After that, he promised NFL owners he wouldn’t do it again. Then he did it ANYWAY on the second night.
And this wasn’t even his tour. He knew other people’s jobs, contracts, reputations, and livelihoods were tied to this. He knew people behind the scenes would have to deal with the fallout, and he STILL chose to do it. That was selfish.
So if you want to blame Ed because that’s easier than blaming the person who was warned and STILL made the decision to do it again, go ahead. But at some point, people need to take accountability for their own actions instead of shifting the blame onto everyone else.
And before anyone wants to act like Bob Kraft somehow overstepped, let’s remember one very important fact:
HE OWNS GILLETTE STADIUM.
He has every right to decide what happens inside a venue he owns.
Think about it this way: if someone comes into YOUR house as a guest, you give them the rules and they agree to respect them. If they knowingly ignore those rules, you have every right to tell them to leave. You don’t owe someone continued access to your home after they deliberately disregard your boundaries.
The same principle applies here.
At the end of the day, this is a business. Macklemore may be the internet hero right now, but internet applause doesn’t change the fact that he was warned, gave his word, and then broke it.
That makes him a liability.
People aren’t going to trust someone when they know he’s willing to deliberately make decisions that could put other people’s jobs and business relationships on the line.
You don’t get to break your word, ignore the rules, drag other people into the fallout, and then blame everyone else when there are consequences.
Life just doesn’t work like that. Sorry. 💁🏻♀️
Ed Sheeran is a role model to millions of children and adults.
All he has done is decide that he doesn’t want political messaging at his shows, and as the headline act, he is perfectly entitled to make that decision.
Children going to a concert shouldn’t be expected to understand the complexities of war, geopolitics or the Middle East.
Whatever your view on Israel and Palestine, a concert should not become a political rally.
I completely understand Ed Sheeran wanting to keep that kind of messaging away from his shows.
Si tu postura política depende de lo que diga Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, un actor o cualquier famoso que admires, entonces no tienes criterio propio.
Puedes admirar su música y pensar que su opinión política es una pendejada. No pasa nada.
De eso se trata tener autonomía y pensamiento PROPIO.
Compensation just being more raids to spend more money on isn’t the compensation people deserve. Not to mention, compensation should be for EVERYONE, not just for some countries/certain regions. Everyone worldwide was affected by raid issues the whole weekend in some way.
People deserve raid passes back, other premium items like lucky eggs, star pieces, incense, link charges etc. More importantly like some past compensations, give people special research with encounters with legendary Pokémon with guaranteed backgrounds from across the weekend, with a shiny rate of 1/10 perhaps. Or if you have an extended raid event, make the raids free to join and available everywhere. People didn’t just lose time raiding, they lost money because of the raid passes/link charges they lost, and other premium items on in the background like lucky eggs, star pieces etc.
No one’s perfect, mistakes happen, things can go wrong and anyone thinking reasonably can understand that. While I understand with such a huge global event, issues can happen that are not anticipated and outside of your control, what you CAN control is the appropriate compensation for people, and not just to select groups but to everyone, especially with it being the 10 year anniversary too.

🚨“Aquellos que buscan diversión en la zona de fans del Mundial en la CDMX se llevarán una decepción; ha sido tomada por un campamento de tiendas de campaña debido a las protestas de maestros”
Así lo reporta @SkyNews 👇🏼
En Irán 🇮🇷 las mujeres se sacan el hiyab para luchar por su libertad, en cambio en occidente las zurdas se lo ponen para apoyar a esos que les quitan la libertad 💀
Esta es la decadencia mexicana. Mexicanos pobres, ignorantes y manipulados que creen que con 20 mil pesos “ya la hicieron”. Esto es a lo que me refiero. Un “pueblo” que sigue intercambiando oro por espejitos. @Claudiashein@rocionahle
La omisión del billete de $20 pesos no es un descuido del @Banxico, es una decisión. Una decisión que, aunque técnica, tiene un fuerte trasfondo político y económico.
Lo presentan como una medida “natural”, parte de la evolución del efectivo o del rediseño por seguridad. Pero la realidad es clara. El billete de menor denominación ya no vale lo suficiente como para justificar su existencia.
Es una advertencia silenciosa, tu dinero vale menos. Lo que antes alcanzaba para un almuerzo, hoy apenas compra una botella de agua.
Y mientras el gobierno maquilla los números, la realidad se cobra en el súper, en el mercado y en la calle.
La inflación no se anuncia. Se siente.
