So is that the same with airlines and the USAF? I'm serious. Or is that not seen as decoration? And what about presidential and other campaigns? Not that anyone gives a **** about the Irish flag, but all I know about its etiquette is that it's not allowed to have it on a floor, ie part of a floor mosaic or carpet or tiles, as in, you can't walk on it. Or, presumably, piss or puke on it either.
****ing flags.

I believe putting it on planes is fine as I know flag patches on police, soldiers, and fire fighters is also acceptable, but it's a definite no no on political campaigns. They have "red, white, and blue bunting" for that.

Hmm. Never noticed that tbh. So you can say "Make America Great Again" but not use Old Glory on your posters? ****ing weird, innit? I can understand the desire not to denigrate the flag, like have it on coffee jars or condoms or what have you, but in an election campaign? I mean, everyone who's voting and everyone who's running is going to be American aren't they, so wtf? As Frownland would say, that's whack.

I'm honestly not sure of the specific restrictions, but I believe using the flag for election campaigns is supposed to be frowned upon. US flag etiquette is especially militant so yeah it's weird, but nobody really bothers with it or even knows about it.

Spotify's Lonely Stance Against Alleged Abuse
The streaming service dropping R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from playlists is one of the very few signs of a #MeToo reckoning in the music industry


I’ve watched so many music platforms grow and die. Spotify is getting more aggressive about edging out the fringes in favor of the middle. I can also tell by their questionnaires. I don’t give a **** about R. Kelly but now that they’re making moral judgement calls they’re on the highway to bland.

Can't believe that a journalist has come up with such a wonderful piece of anti-Republican rhetoric. You only need to watch two mins to hear George Will's devatating put down of Pence and his party:-
