They were never included in my personal library and they never will.
“removed from the always” at one radio station in Ireland
better than none, hopefully the first of many
Good, Macklemore makes better music anyway
This is the way.
Imagine getting cancelled in 2026 for being a billionaire’s bitch.
Kraft said in a statement on Instagram: “I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting.
That’s like saying ‘all lives matter’ in response to the Black Lives Matter movement; it’s disrespectful of the point being made.
Building bridges between the fascists and everyone else, so the fascists can do their thing
It’s like thinking reverse racism is a thing.
He very literally tried to pull a “I can’t be racist, I have black friends” because he’s worked with a couple people who happen to be Palestinian
He’s saying he’s built bridges with murderers.
100% disingenuous word salad bullshit. Not even worth reading.
I think most stations stopped playing him voluntarily ages ago
This is good for several reasons
I’m looking forward to removing his cameo from GoT. It won’t fix the series but it’ll make the last seasons slightly better.
Nah GoT deserves him. GRRM deserves this after selling out and abandoning the readers who supported his series for years. I don’t ever see myself watching the show again. Maybe the first 3 seasons.

Whiplash!
No more samesies! Starting tomorrow!
lol ya The love hate I have for GoT is strong. In 4 days I watched season 1 twice. Once by myself and once with my gf. The early seasons retain much more of the 1st person perspective that made GRRMs world building a unique reading experience.
If you want a good fantasy series to read Malazan Book of the Fallen is way better anyway and finished.
And it gets better on a second read because you notice how many things that pay off in the Crippled God are set up way back in Gardens of the Moon
I started reading the first book, got like a third of the way in, then life got in the way. Thanks for reminding me! Gonna start over now
As a big Malazan fan, just know you’re not alone if you sometimes find yourself feeling puzzled on your first read. I had to read several chapters of the first book twice to really get it. Subsequent books went much more smoothly.
I wouldn’t call it selling out. He didn’t abandon the books because of the series. He didn’t know how the books will end. Luckily for him he doesn’t have to end them as the HBO series set him up for life.
He didn’t know how the books will end.
That’s impossible because he both provided the show writers with ending plot points in 2013 and has said multiple times that the books would end differently than the show.
Luckily for him he doesn’t have to end them as the HBO series set him up for life.
You and I have very different operating definitions of “selling out”.
You don’t see an issue with your logic here? He gave the show some pointers on how to end it…knowing that’s what he didn’t want to end it with and knowing the books would end differently. That doesn’t mean he knows how the books are going to end. That means he has chosen one way the books are not going to end and the ways they can end are literally every other possible option.
He’s not going to finish the book series. Him taking a payday and leaving his fans who supported his writing career hanging is selling out.
Anyone who read the books would know why I’m upset. You clearly did not.
I was responding to the first part you said about being impossible that he doesn’t know how the books will end. Your response was not actually a response to me at all. You can be upset all you want, that’s irrelevant.
So, you inserted yourself into a conversation you were not a part of, on a subject you don’t know anything about about … to be an asshole?
I’ll be removing you from my lemmy experience now. Clearly you’ve run out of positive contributions
Thank you Palestine and Macklemore for standing up to keep this Zionist scum off the radio 🙏 now only if YouTube and Spotify would grow some balls
😂 as if
man, I hope this is widespread and permanent. Let us never hear his music again.
Yeah, I stopped listening to him. 😐
Why ever start?
So a musician, not even a megastar at that, is getting the business while companies like Coke and Nestlé are still seeing high profits. 😮💨
What can we realistically do against Nestlé? They own like a third of all retail brands. Most people don’t have the time or patience to keep up with all that.
Yeah cuz ppl are fucking morons and don’t bother learning how the world around them actually works. Nestle knowingly sold hiv contaminated baby food to Africa and yet because they make fucking Oreos, they get overlooked.
Oreos are unilever are they not?
Idk, it was just an example of the type of stuff they make. Toll house cookies I guess or nesquick
I knew the moment his goofy lookin aah got famous he’d eventually fuck it up.
His biggest thing was his boyish looks and that doesn’t always carry well into the future. His music was bland and soulless. Shape of you is the weakest love song I have ever heard.
I was excepting his music to become so shitty folks would drop him, but this works too. Now not only is he shitty at making any meaningful music, he is also a shitty person.
Sounds more like you hoping for his downfall than knowing. Smells of envy.
I can see how it can be taken that way. The thing is, I have no desire for that fame. Would I like the money? Nope. Not that much. I just want to have enough to get by and take care of my family and go on vacation.
I have heard Ed’s music for a long time. Exes, friends, family. Someone somewhere 3 ft from you, probably in your walls, like spiders. (I jest)
His music is just soulless to me. It has no grip to it. It feels like feeding my ears dry oats. With the whole downfall, I didn’t really except a downfall. More that his shit would fade and folks would see his music as meh.
This, though, is just funny. All he had to do was be a good person.
You can swear here you know. There’s no algorithm that’s gonna hide your comment for saying ass lol
I know. I dropped the f bomb in there too lol. Just something I say instead of ass sometimes. I can’t remember where I got it from.
