The 60s were a weird time because "Plastic Fantastic Lover" is apparently about...a color TV set

This is the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever unearthed. This mummified nodosaur’s bones remain covered by intact skin and armor — 110 million years after the creature’s death.

The existence of a wife guy implies the existence of an anti-wife guy. A guy militantly opposed to marriage to women entirely.

This anti-wife guy is, if course, purely hypothetical

you know that vince guaraldi is a genius because he managed to rework little drummer boy, the worst song ever written, into a nice tune

Blood quantum is a thing used by the us government to deprive Native people from being part of their tribes.

Tribes know they lost children due to attacks and forced abductions and white schools. And then they finally got the right to count those kids as theirs again. But.... Only if they reach a certain blood quantum.

If they don't, even if they are completely culturally raised as native, they aren't allowed.

Unless they are signed up at birth by their parent that is actively in the tribe
