I just love them so much. Everytime I watch historical footage from the early 20th century I get very sad over the zepplins and blimps. I wish I could see them floating through my sky on a daily basis just doin stuff that isn’t solely advertising. They are the closest we have to sky whales. I just love that they float around like that, very joyous and whimsical. Fucked up we don’t make use of them anymore. I bet this makes them as sad as it makes me. Relatively low energy cost btw.

I’ve cried over this while drunk more than once. Think of me next time you call blimps useless technology

    Gotti’s underboss, Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, aided the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in convicting Gotti; in 1991, Gravano agreed to turn state’s evidence and testify against Gotti after hearing the boss make disparaging remarks about him on a wiretap that implicated them both in several murders. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, rocketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, illegal gambling, extortion and loansharking.
