one of my favorite bits of gay Minneapolis history - to set the scene, around about 1979-1980, the Mpls Police Dept. frequently raided gay bath houses. In July 1979, there was a charity softball game between the cops and the gays, and the gays won!

From the 7/30/1979 Minneapolis Tribune

Headline: Gay team defeats police 12-7 in charity softball game. Black and white image shows "gay cheerleaders rooted for their team to victory over the Minneapolis Police Department's Blue team." Gays 12, Police 7.

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

English translation: "And they're basically saying that peripheral countries can't guarantee the safety of historical items, not returning our things." museums are so embarrassing (at best) sometimes 🥴🥴🥴

E os caras não devolvem as nossas coisas basicamente dizendo que os países periféricos não podem garantir a segurança de itens históricos.
