I think the big difference there is they mean “someone to admire” when they call trump a gangster whereas you’re using it as a pejorative and meaning criminal. Just because you’re using the same words doesn’t mean you’re aligned with these … humans … in any meaningful way. (You both contain carbon?)
Fuck off, Neil.
I love when science proves that queer culture is perfectly natural.
“We know that the one whale would not have been in the state to choose for the interaction in a way that they normally would have been able to because they were so compromised in their condition.” The study acknowledges the injury “may be relevant to the behaviour reported here.”
I remember this study being mentioned when it came out. It is definitely one of countless examples of same sex behavior in nature…but I hesitate to link it to queer culture, because it is not at all clear it is comparable to consensual sex.
The Library of Congress also has a program to digitize as much of the pre-vinyl era of recordings that they can… however, people might not be aware of this, but we’ve probably already lost at least some recordings from the WW2 era, because shellac was embargoed, and to be able to buy a new record, you were supposed to turn in old ones for recycling. Whatever the LOC and IA have are pretty precious, historically speaking and it’s fucking evil of the recording industry to try and stop that program from happening… But hey, that’s the recording industry, they’ve always been pretty fucking evil.
Adam something did a pretty comprehensive dissection of some of the major reasons Neom simply could not work.
