In case anyone tried to whitewash your Battle of Britain lately. I present receipts of the countless Jamaican, Haitian, Indian, and Māori fighter and bomber crews in the RAF. Fully integrated.
William Barnard Rhodes-Moorhouse was the first airman and the first Māori to be awarded the Victoria Cross. He earned this flying with the RFC’s 2 Squadron.
Action taken on 26 April 1915, death 27 April 1915, VC awarded 22 May 1915.
Who the hell’s trying to whitewash the Battle of Britain they’re wrong going all the way back to the WWI RFC pre-RAF.
HOLD THE LINE!! KEEP PUSHING!!!!!
Sorry babes but as someone who lived lug around 500 cds they can die. To me lps are at least pretty and pretentious like a fine wine. Cds have no point
the point is cds are sexy as hell. sorry you dont know what sex is.
visual diagram btw ^
As someone who started listening to music on vinyl back when 8-tracks were still a thing, who saw the switch from them to cassettes and then to CDs, I can promise that recording peaked with CDs. Suddenly shuffle was a thing. they were more portable than vinyl, they didn’t get chewed up just because the player got dirty, they had almost no moving parts, they were easy to rip, easy to queue up a song, and you could both carry around your media and easily loan (or resell) it - it combined the best of purely digital music with the best of cassettes, and had better quality/less recording artifacts than any previous medium.
Physical media is also the point.
Finnish people really are proud of him.
Translation: Finlands cha-mpion! We know it. The world knows it. He was the best. Cha cha cha! (*also the jury gave finland 150 points and sweden 340 points, but lets not think about that.)

oh brother 😔 I had this date a few years back with an autistic guy, where he was like “by the way, you’re autistic too,” and I was like “oh, haha, no I’m not!” and then he went through this listing of every diagnostic trait he’d noticed ending with “and you haven’t made eye contact with me ONCE!” while I sat there getting more and more furious.
in retrospect I think it was very funny, and I hope he’s doing well
Neither diagnosed nor undiagnosed but a secret third thing: peer reviewed.
