Liebe es, wie hoffnungsvoll Adam auf Esthers Vorschlag hin Leo ansieht.

Leos Zwinkern spricht natürlich Bände.

Aber rede ich mir eigentlich nur ein, dass Adam Leo zum Schluss abcheckt?

I feel like I've just discovered colour television

I live in Edinburgh and went to spy on the Good Omens filming location today. I come bearing GIFTS for the fandom.

(The photo with the red arrow on it is pointing to Derek Jacobi aka Metatron behind an umbrella, I wasn’t quick enough on the draw)

Edit: apparently tumblr only allows you to share one video so post has been updated with the better of my two featuring DT!

Börne und Thiel wohnen ja quasi in einer WG wenn man mal so richtig drüber nachdenkt

Just so you all know...

You can love someone non-romantically.

You can hug someone non-romantically.

You can hold hands non-romantically.

You can kiss someone’s face non-romantically.

You can cuddle someone non-romantically.

You can dance with someone non-romantically.

You can sleep next to someone non-romantically.

You can miss someone non-romantically.

You can say “I love you” non-romantically.

You can sacrifice for someone non-romantically.

You can let someone be the most important person in the world to you, non-romantically.

Of course, you can do all these things romantically too.  But you don’t have to.  Not everyone has a significant other, and not everyone needs one.  But everyone needs love and intimacy.

Being single doesn’t mean you have to be lonely.  But if you equate all love with romance, you will be.  And even if you do have a significant other, you still need friends too.

Love your friends.  Let other people love their friends.  Platonic love is real love.

it’s a strange thought that they’re shooting good omens right now. that david and michael are using their talent to generously give the angel and the demon a happy ending. we are lucky to have them

David about the Good Omens Finale (this interview filmed at the end of 2024 as a part of BAFTA promos)

Int: Sadly, we know Good Owns is coming to a close.

David: Yes.

Int: With a 90 minute movie.

David: That's right.

Int: Can you give us a detail what to expect?

David: No. I mean, in a word, no. I think we will finish the story. I mean the series two was very much left on a bit of a cliffhanger. Whether we will finish it in a way that you find acceptable you will have to wait some.

Int: Okay. Yeah. We'll be on the edge of our seat.

David: Yeah.

German television did something very impressive recently that I need to share with my international audience.

There is a popular children's show called "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (the show with the mouse). The show combines live-action educational segments and animated entertainment segments. Typically this would include, for example, a visit to a factory explaining how something is made, followed by a cute animated sequence like Shaun the Sheep. The show is written in a way that is easy to understand for children of different ages without being dumbed down or condescending. Actually, I occasionally watch it as an adult because I'm still learning new things from it.

A few days ago, it was Memorial Day for the Victims of National Socialism. To honor that, there was a special episode. The episode explained Stolpersteine (stumbling stones - small brass plates on the ground with the names of victims of the Nazis). Then, they covered the life of Felix Nussbaum, a German Jewish artist who was murdered in Auschwitz.

The episode explains the Nazi rise to power, their ideology, World War Two and the Holocaust and what that meant for Jewish people in Europe. It doesn't shy away from using words like "murdered" instead of talking around it. It explains things slowly, in easy language and emphasizes how people felt and how they dealt with horrible situations like hiding, fleeing and being arrested. They talk about it openly and honestly without it being too intellectually and emotionally difficult for children to follow.

In the 1930s Felix Nussbaum worked on an animated cartoon that was never finished and the script was lost for decades. To honor Felix Nussbaum's legacy, the animation team of Die Sendung mit der Maus animated his script and used that as the entertainment segment of the episode.

This episode is an impressive example of how children can be introduced to difficult topics and also deeply respectful of Felix Nussbaum's work and legacy.
