Probably sensible if they don't want to end up in El Salvador.

Fuck these guys. I’m getting really tired of this bullshit. If your goal in life is to be an obnoxious asshole, get ready to have it come right back at you.

Kneecap cancel tour because they're being told off in the UK but they'll be imprisoned in the US.

In other news, @nytimes.com editors frequently make excuses for their failure to apply the Biden standard to a brain-addled self-described “dictator.”

Not a aign of dementia. It's called the weave and only the tremendously strong and power intellect with hyper- intelligence can weave and not sound demented.

It’s about Kneecap, a Northern Irish rap group known for anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian views, canceling their 15-show U.S. tour due to a legal conflict in the UK, halting their plans to perform and share their message.

Ireland 'sided' with the Allies! More Free State men fought for the Allies than Ulstermen, and Ireland did so much to support the Allied cause, but there's plenty of folks out there who like to pretend the Free State did sweet FA when its not true and they had their reasons to be neutral.

So was the USA when it was only Nazis involved. It was the Japanese moving on their colonies that got them moving.
