  1. 🎵Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) - Enola Gay🎶
    Año: 1980

    Fue el cuarto single de OMD y llegó al nº 8 en Reino Unido. Fuera de casa fue todavía más grande: alcanzó el nº 1 en Francia, Italia, España y Portugal.
    Se convirtió en el primer gran éxito internacional del grupo.

    El título pertenece al B-29 que lanzó la bomba atómica sobre Hiroshima el 6 de agosto de 1945.
    Andy McCluskey convirtió aquel episodio histórico en una canción de apariencia luminosa, pero con una letra cargada de ironía y preguntas incómodas. “Little Boy” era el nombre de la bomba.

    five minutes before impact
    he whistles a dry tune

    Later he will say
    that the whole blooming sky
    went up like an apricot ice…

    published in The New British Poetry, 1968–88 (Paladin, 1988)

    Es gibt etliche Bücher, von denen ich mir wünschte, dass sie erneut veröffentlicht würden - dieses hier gehört definitiv dazu (leider nur noch mit etwas Glück in einem gut sortierten Antiquariat zu finden):

  16. A recently leaked list of pages marked for deletion on military websites includes…the #EnolaGay, …the B-29 bomber that nuked Hiroshima.

    Oblivion menaces every scrap of #information that doesn’t spark joy in the Oval Office. “It’s gone,” #Trump said of “wokeness,” during his address to Congress, in almost motherly tones. “And we feel so much better for it, don’t we? Don’t we feel better?” But on this front, at least, Trump is facing well-organized resistance.

    #DigitalBookBurning #TrumpPurge

  17. By now you have all read about what is going on w/ #Trump’s #Defense Dept’s anti-#DEI initiative, in which nefarious policies are birthing hilarious results. Namely, as the Associated Press reported last week, somebody at the #Pentagon produced a database flagging images depicting #diversity, #equity & #inclusion. And some dutiful search-&-replace function suggested that #military websites should jettison images of the #EnolaGay. Because, Enola “Gay.”

  18. Don’t say (Enola) Gay
The #Trump admini’s #DEI purge has gotten truly #weird.
    In the late 1930s, a young man named Paul Tibbets decided he wanted to fly airplanes for the US Army, which his…father disapproved of but his mother encouraged—“Paul, if you want to go fly airplanes, you’re going to be all right,”…& yrs later, when he piloted the drop of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima that ushered in the horrible end of WWII, he did so in a plane he named after his…mom: #EnolaGay.

  19. Selbstverständlich, #EnolaGay war der Bomber, mit dem der "Little Boy" über Hiroshima abgeworfen wurde.

  20. Plus je vois l'avancée du fascisme aux États-Unis et la suppression de mots et d'articles qui ne plaisent pas au gvt Trump, plus je me dis qu'il faut diffuser au maximum ces mots et ces idées.
    Je trouve tellement débile de supprimer les photos et références au B-29 "Enola Gay" que j'ai décidé de renvoyer ici sa page Wikipédia.

  21. I wouldn't name a bomber after my mother, especially one dropping a nuclear bomb on people, it's like "thanks Son?" 😬

    #EnolaGay

  22. Don't say gay in Trump's America — even if you're just referring to the name of a plane. @AssociatedPress reports on how the Defense Department is purging diversity, equity and inclusion content from its website. So far, 26,000 images have been marked for deletion including a photo of the Enola Gay (the plane that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan) and a picture of a group of engineers, one of whom had the last name Gay.

  23. A photo of the #bomber Enola #Gay, which dropped an #atomic #bomb on #Hiroshima in 1945, seems to have become the 'victim' of the US Department of #Defence's new policy of removing all references to #diversity, #equality and #inclusion from the military's #archives. #dei #EnolaGay

  24. We Queers have noticed the way the American government is literally erasing us from society and nobody is Power is giving a single fuck about us.

    Are the Dems going to hold up props to remind America we exist or is Gavin Newsome stopping all that because Queers cost the Dems the election, according to him?

    The thing is, we always knew Power would look away when it mattered, we've always been alone, never a part of your societies.

  25. USA is just removing its history willy nilly pictures of Enola Gay are slated for removal since it so DEI to have "GAY" in there.

  26. This is what happens when stupid people decide that words can be bad.

    Pete Hegseth, Trump's DUI hire, and his Dept of Defense will ban references to the Enola Gay, the WWII bomber that carried the nuclear bomb to Hiroshima.

    It was named after the pilot's mother, not the sexual preference.

  27. Le ministère de la Défense #US purge toutes les images et messages en ligne sur ses sites qui évoquent la diversité et l'inclusion. 26000 images retirées, dont celle d'#EnolaGay, le bombardier d'#Hiroshima...parce qu'il contient le mot gay. Toute la bêtise de #Trump en un post!
