Here in 
we have an eye for a bargain… I could see us taking those off your hands, especially since they already appear to be flying the flag… 
The photo was taken near Detroit, so this is probably in deference to the 1817 Rush Bagot Treaty. Although that there ship sports a treaty-compliant single cannon of less than 18lbs, it does exceed the allowed displacement of 100 tons. Violations of the treaty for ceremonial purposes are generally met with mutual good will, provided a bit of notice is given. That said, we did object (IIRC successfully) to the arming of Great Lakes Coast Guard ships post 9/11 on the basis of that treaty…
I wonder if it would make any difference to promote different platforms (social media, print, and broadcast/streaming) for 30 days? Something like a challenge to switch people’s attention away from Facebook and other outlets dominated by practices or influences like the ones John Oliver described here. The goal would be to provide folks with different perspectives on events instead of the ones they’re being spoon-fed every day. If it also causes a bit of negative impact for those controlling corporations, that would be a win-win.
I have no words. A serial killer in Sligo murdering gay men.
And yes, I do believe that normalising hatred for trans people in the media is part of the problem. Calling all gay or trans people “groomers” is why people feel they can do hate crimes.
Oh no. That’s awful. I hope the catch the person doing this.
As far as I know they were using an app to get their victims so, yes, in custody already. It’s terrible that he wasn’t caught when he attacked the first person on Friday though.
A cynical queer like me would say the 'phobes are making such statements so that hateful people will commit such crimes. It’s incitement.
Good to hear.
Absolutely.
Is it really cynical when it’s the truth, tho? Irish bigots are mad that the country voted in favor of gay marriage… I suspect that they want to go back to when wanton women got sent to work houses and gay people had to hide or leave…
Hey, somebody has to do all that laundry…
Just get Coach Z to do it…
“I’m the rhyme janitor wringing out my mop…”
Pompano Beach. A good friend lives there & is trying to get me to retire there.
That’s horrible…
Those fucking fuckers…
