In 1969, what I would say is the greatest year in music history, the 1# single of the year wasn’t from the Beatles, the Stones, CCR, Zeppelin, or Hendrix.
It was “Sugar, Sugar” by the Archies. Top 40 has always been ephemeral fluff.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".
But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

For a long time I was wondering why there were so many trolls that would deliberately misinterpret things while replying, it was so lazy, then one day it struck me, at least some of those guys are probably just illiterate.
