Other members of the colliery choirs said that they didn't know who the Pet Shop Boys were when they performed, but after they had relatives and friends (and remember these guys were from small-town Wales and England) come out to them.
Seeing them on that stage meant they trusted them. some of those old miners who were legit in tears about how being on that stage meant friends told them they were gay, it was world changing for them to have allies
(3/3)
In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards. They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners) in the 1980s (which is another whole story about #LGBT supporting Union workers) . It is one of the great, near-lost music moments
In 1992, when Pet Shop Boys were asked by Derek Jarman to perform at an AIDS charity event at The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester, Chris Lowe of the duo selected "Go West" as the song they would perform (It was originally a song by the Village people)
Though singer Neil Tennant was unable to remember the lyrics during that performance, the two decided to record it as a single
ONe of the most unhinged takes in defense of convicted Felon DJT is from the Secretary of State in Mississippi
"Come to Mississippi and do financial crimes here, we are okay with that!"
They are openly in defiance of laws and the Justice system holding themselves accountable

Trump, as a convicted Felon, might be unable to run for office in the State of Washington
at least until the Supreme court decides the State rights are not really rights if the conservatives disagree with them.

#NASA #Boeing #ULA are forgoing a Crew Flight Test launch attempt on June 2 to give the team additional time to assess a ground support equipment issue.
ULA will assess the ground support equipment overnight, and NASA will provide an update June 2 on next steps for the flight. The next available launch opportunities are June 5 and June 6.
Boeing is not going
#NASA #Boeing #ULA scrubbed today’s launch attempt due to the computer ground launch sequencer not loading into the correct operational configuration after proceeding into terminal count. The ULA team is working to understand the cause.
The crew and #Starliner spacecraft remain safe.
The next launch opportunity is June 2 at 12:03pm ET for launch of NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test.
Next Launch opportunities
June 2, 12:03 PM ET
June 5, 10:52 AM ET
June 6, 10:29 AM ET

LAUNCH SCRUB
And with just 4 minutes to go before the scheduled liftoff, mission control called a hold on the countdown.
Starliner had to fly at 12:25pm ET, in what's known as an instantaneous launch window, to properly reach the ISS. So, no historic launch today.
Terminal count!
All Go T-5 Minutes
This boeing is going!
Visors down!

Lets light this candle!

i have watched a lot of streams of launches. Have a gut feeling on them if they are Go or No Go based on the tone and cadence of the people in mission control
I feel This is a GO. Will be confirmed at T-10 Minute barring an automated abort

I for one prefer the Media Stream for "big event" launches
less yakky yak, and fluff
I had to look in up. Yes it is a crime to spray paint "felon" on Trump signs. But I still desire to do it. Just smart enough and have good enough impulse control to not do it
