Okay but imagine if Aziraphale dodged the portal to Heaven, escaped the bookshop, and hurried to tell Crowley about the Antichrist, but all he found at his apartment was the puddle of holy water and demon goo next to a plant mister.
“In search of better profitability, Netflix, Disney, and other providers have been raising prices. The various bundles are now as annoyingly confusing as cable, and they cost basically the same. Somehow, we’re also paying to watch ads.
Streaming was supposed to be better and cheaper. You can still stream without ads, but the cost of this is getting so high and the bundling is so complex that it’s getting as bad as cable — the technology that streaming was supposed to radically improve upon.
The Financial Times recently reported that a basket of the top US streaming services would cost $87 this fall, compared with $73 a year ago. The average cable TV package was $83 a month, it reported.”
like a fool i have always forgiven the dc metro system every time it fucks me over because the stupid sexy 70s brutalist aesthetic is just too swag i am sorry
except you. you are a testament to american hubris and were never supposed to exist
I am so sorry to do this to you but I actually have to talk about it because it is a very specific and weird story. So pictured here is the longest escalator in the western hemisphere and it’s specifically western hemisphere because at the time of construction it was the cold war and usa government was in a dumb competition with ussr government to see who could build the longest fucking metro escalator which would prove….something, i guess. usa lost and the 3 longest escalators in the world are in St. Petersburg. so this and the st. petersburg one are all actually in fact freaky long escalators
A beautiful scene featuring transgender man Robert Eades and his transgender girlfriend Lola.
[TRANSCRIPT:
Robert: – and now she’s coming out, full blown… she is something else.
Lola: Oh, please, stop it.
Robert: What? I’m just telling her how wonderful you are, and how beautiful, and how organised, and…
Lola: Actually, you know, I really should put all of this on tape, you know? For when I’m not feeling so great.
Robert: Sweetheart, it is on tape.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Robert: Just in the last couple of months now, it’s come on real strong, but she just really blushes! I can get her to blush all the way from head to toe. See? And she can’t deal with it! She’s never blushed like that before!
Lola: [SIGHS]
[BOTH LAUGH]
Robert: All my life, I’ve been looking for the perfect woman… and all this time, she’s been right there in front of me, and I didn’t even realise it, ‘cause I never thought I’d have a chance with her.
Lola: Why? You’re like… completely loveable.
Robert: To be loved by you, that’s… that’s…
Lola: I had no notion, to think that we would have this little fling.
Robert: That’s what I feel - we have this nice friendship, we can’t go out, we have fun together, we got no entanglements and stuff and then - bam! Just… all of a sudden, next thing I know, we’re in love with each other and we can’t stop it.
Hozier b like “hey girl what if the ceaseless battle between unconquerable suffering (as a consequence of existence), and the indomitable human spirit, was just. in ur earphones. What if the constant tug of war between the limitlessness of love and inevitability of heartache was literally injected into u via sound. Like. just playing in ur ears for an hour. Take my hand. Let’s take a stroll through hell, baby :) wouldn’t that be gre- why are you crying”
