Today on this scene inspired this other scene in Good Omens:

We have The Time Machine (1960) and The Book (episode 2 of season 1).

General plot of the film:

Time Machine is a 1960 American period post-apocalyptic science fiction film based on the 1895 novella of the same name by H. G. Wells. It was produced and directed by George Pal, and stars Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, and Alan Young. The story is set in Victorian England and follows an inventor who constructs a machine that enables him to travel into the distant future. Once there, he discovers that mankind's descendants have divided into two species, the passive, childlike, and vegetarian Eloi and the underground-dwelling Morlocks, who feed on the Eloi.

Sadly I cannot link the original tweet anymore because Douglas’ account is no longer there. But I did screenshot it beforehand.

Here is a side by side comparison of the scene in the film that inspired that scene of Aziraphale reading the book and “the cocoa doth [grew]cold”.

Pay special attention to how things move outside of the windows! That is the most important bit. And of course the relation to time and how the person doing the action is almost static, whereas all around is rapidly changing.

Film trivia:

When George's guests leave for their New Years activities, it is clearly daylight. The clocks in the room said 6:05 pm. Sunset in London on December 31, 1899 was at 4:01 pm. It would have been dark outside. (This is when he is first trying his machine).

Luckily in Good Omens when Aziraphale dashes back into the bookshop, it is dark outside and thus finishes reading when it is light again.

For another this scene inspired this scene: about The Bishop’s wife.

For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.

Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shouting the following:

I literally can't even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden
