"This flag was deliberately placed at half-mast so when it landed on Reddington and the glasses, I thought this was a nice, iconic image to introduce this guy." - Joe Carnahan, Director. Ep 101 Pilot.

"His eyes aren't even fully open, they're at half mast"

I said this to myself while watching this character (to the right) in Batman: Caped Crusader. I giggled to myself and googled "half mast" then found this hilarious image.

for those who don't know - a flag at half mast (or halfway up the pile) is used to signify grief, mourning, distress, etc. It's basically a way to signal "someone died" or "something very bad happened"

So. Yeah. Thanks OP. /gen -An American Queer.

Vent art.

To my queer US friends from a Canadian queer:

I stand with YOU. I support YOU. I love YOU, just as you are.

I am so sorry that this is happening.

Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Today

September 26 2023 By Kimberly Mann Autumn always brings back memories of what yesterday was like, the warm summer weather. Further yet, what last year’s fall season was like. Remember the past, look forward to tomorrow, but always enjoy today! ~Kimberly Instaviewpoint Photography

When an important person in the Navy dies in office (as in, still in the position they held, not necessarily in the actual office), it's tradicional to fly a U.S. flag half-staff from the base that person served in at time of death. The more important the person, the more bases and vessels affected.

Ice died in office as the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. There's no doubt that at least his home base (I'm assuming Miramar, but officially it should be Pearl Harbor-Hickam) flew half-staff for at least the day and the day after. But he was Commander of the Pacific Fleet. That's an entire fucking FLEET under his control.

I haven't been able to find any occasion in the Pacific Fleet History where a Commander of the Fleet died in office (specifically Pacific, I did find Atlantic Fleet and Chief of Naval Operations), but I trust that it's a big fucking thing.

When I was FINALLY able to find what would be the protocol on this shit, it said that 'all ships present, not underway, and by naval stations in the vicinity should fly the National Ensign Half-Mast'. From the time off death until sunset of the day of funeral.

What If they let it fly for longer? I mean, Iceman was a big fucking thing. One more star and all of the Navy would be affected. What if they let it fly half-staff a little longer, to honor the man that died?

Just imagine Mav coming back from that mission, happy to have his son back, only to be faced with a half-staff flag flowing in the wind.
