The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

my Tim Curry story, which I think i've told a few times. I interviewed him when I was in college--he was starring in "Three Musketeers." Asked him something like how did he approach a villain role & he said he liked to give directors 3 options: "standard," "over-the-top" and "top over-the-top"

You are in the middle of one of the busiest art museums in Europe. You need to stop to check your phone. Do you A) Stop in a doorway B) Stop in the middle of a staircase C) Both of the above one after the other and ignore any cries of 'excuse me' (tried in multiple languages)

my theory is that it proves that the US just isn't a football nation at heart - sure you can be happy with a bit of shithousery, or with one of your players getting away with something they shouldn't have got away with, but something like *this* is just on a different level entirely

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

There's a lot of people angry about this article, but so far as I can tell it's an attempt to square the circle of 'there are homes in the UK that are starting to need AC' with 'I feel guilty about using AC because I don't *really* need it,' which is a big convo in the UK atm
