Never forget the time that Olivia Margaret Benson said over a P.A. system inside a large store, "Not A masturbator, THE masturbator!!"

Honorable mention to the one and only Elliot Stabler for also announcing on the same P.A. system in the first place that he and Benson were looking for a masturbator. 😌

it has been three years and i still go completely feral, foaming at the mouth, sobbing on the ground, wherever i remember castiel, angel of the lord, actually looked at dean winchester and told him that the one thing he wanted (it was dean) was the one thing he knew he couldn't have(because he never thought dean could love him back) and then he smiled with his eyes filled with tears and told dean he loved him, and that was his happiest moment, sharing his truth, making dean see how worthy of that love he really was

Ford Bronco 1970

The Ford Bronco was initially conceived as an off-road adventurer and later transformed into a versatile SUV. Its remarkable journey included a notorious moment when it became O.J. Simpson’s vehicle in a televised car chase.

Fun Fact: The Bronco’s development was partly influenced by the success of the Jeep CJ.

taking relentless severe psychic damage from watching several hours of videos of television commercial advertisements from the United States in December 1999.

a world-historical moment, an all-time high peak of self-assured smirking arrogance.

ascendant home computers and internet modems. a new millennium! a time after Cold War but before Nining Leven, with saxophone-playing heads of state and cheery Spielbierg-ian sentimentality attempting to plaster over 1970s/1980s disappointments and hangovers with renewed millennarian End-Of-History optimism.

come celebrate with us! look at these images of The Nation! from sparkling Times Square and the cast of "Friends" in bustling cosmopolitan New York City, to sunny Californian prosperity, to those cartoonish frogs in the quasi-mythical Deep South-ish rural periphery of Budweiser ads, and all the suburban Midwestern Kay's Jeweler's in between! planetary hegemony. "Head east from the Colosseum, across the ruts of chariots, and you'll find an imperial estate built by a second-century Caesar. It's a rough ride. And if the agile and durable Chevy Tracker can handle these ancient roads, driving back home will be a walk in the park. Chevy Tracker: It Gets Around!"

or perhaps "our" power extends beyond this terrestrial imperium, into space, conquering the stars. UFOs; space aliens; The X-Files; Independence Day; Space Jam; Men in Black; the Phoenix Lights; Coast to Coast AM on the radio; Space Command in Colorado Springs.

the anxious fragility belied by the desperate constant promotion of an almost religious dedication to recognizable icons.

talking chihuahuas, marketing jingles, annual football game events. self-referential circular cross-promotion maelstrom.

"An all-new holiday spectacular, a Christmas special destined to become a family classic! With music from REM's Michael Stipe, voiced by Ally McBeal's Peter MacNicol, and starring Drew Barrymore! It's Olive the Other Reindeer! At 8/7 Central Fox Friday!"

trying to insist that this "classic" cultural iconography binds us. it has always lived in your heart. fabricating in real-time a supposedly shared history, insisting on this "reality" even at the moment of its very creation. hammering away at the soul.

Daffy Duck saunters in and pronounces: "Eat your way into the new millennium with this 'gigundo' party sub from Subway!"

why aren't you smiling?

Kang, Sailom, and paper banknotes

I have been obsessed for several weeks now with the way Kang and Sailom flirt pass banknotes back and forth to each other -- often by tucking them in each others' pockets -- so I set out to document the major scenes where this happens. I'm starting to think these moments are intended to successively showcase the different stages of their relationship:

⏭Make Me a Cheat Sheet #1

First, Kang tries to bribe Sailom into helping him cheat. This is Kang testing the waters and thinking he can walk all over Sailom. Sailom is visibly shocked by this first instance.

⏭Money Can't Buy Everything

Only AFTER Kang fails his test using a fake sheet does Sailom return the money and reveal Kang's offer didn't work.

Um, excuse me, Sailom?? What are these looks that are positively dripping in sex and where have they gone lately?? How secure are you going to have to get in Kang's feelings for you to start seducing him like this again??

Sailom has used Kang's own trick to flip the tables and gain the upper hand. This moment is when he truly infuriates Kang, setting him on a warpath.

⏭Kang gets punched

Afterwards, Kang starts to really lose it and escalates the dickishness -- at this point he's cost Sailom his joke tutoring elementary students and has insulted Saifah's job so Sailom's patience is completely frayed.

Sailom picks a banknote up, clenches it in his fist, and SOCKS KANG IN THE FACE. Iconic. (And seen much better in this gif set than in my screenshots)

And not only that, but then he refuses money he could have genuinely earned:

(right before he throws it at Kang. Also iconic.)

In theory, this should be the end of their back and forth. Sailom snapped and Kang should have left him the fuck alone after. But no, because then Kang takes a gun to Sailom's house and THE GREATEST SCENE IN TELEVISION HISTORY HAPPENS, fundamentally altering the course of their relationship.

⏭Post Rescue

Okay so feelings have shifted between them. Kang is starting to feel guilty for the way he treated Sailom and now has a much deeper appreciation for how badly Sailom needs money:

Please note this is the THIRD pocket tuck we've seen on screen.

Kang has started to learn some tact and attempts to justify this as money Sailom genuinely deserves.

And we finally land on Sailom insisting he MUST tutor Kang to keep the money. (again much of this can be better seen in these gifs than my screenshots). Now, they are finally getting on more equal footing -- Sailom has made it clearl that he's only willing to accept Kang's money if he is legitimately doing a job for him.

⏭No money changes hands at all

And finally we have Kang offering Sailom money for a ride home -- which you could argue is fair; Kang is kind of ditching him. But when Sailom refuses, Kang only checks once, and then lets it go (the progress he's making!!). For now, they are almost true equals in this exchange -- Kang respects his choice and doesn't feel the need to force money upon him.

So all this is fun to track, but why is it important?

When Kang throws money in Sailom's face after catching him escorting again, it is going to be a major regression for them; so it should be one of the biggest low points for their relationship that we see on screen -- which also to me serves as evidence of what I will go on to say in bullet 2 (because otherwise THAT would be the low point)

If you subscribe to @respectthepetty's theory that Saifah is going to break into Kang's house (which I 1000% do), it is going to put Kang is a position where -- possibly counter to everyone else in his family -- he's going to have to choose whether or not to believe Sailom had nothing to do with it. But Sailom has shown him over and over again that he isn't willing to take Kang's money unfairly. So the foundation has thoroughly been laid for Kang to choose Sailom and for them to have to figure out a way to make their relationship work completely removed from a tutoring structure (because at that point Grandma Ging and Kang's dad would NOT be willing to give money to Sailom anymore . . . if they aren't in a coma, I SEE YOU pilot trailer).

The scene where they are happily throwing money together would be the first time they are taking the same action with banknotes at the same time -- this in theory should be one of the absolute strongest points of their relationship; when I would arguably expect their 'love scene' (as confirmed by PerthChimon) to happen [[I recognize you novel people are probably screaming at me!! don't tell me if I'm wrong!!]]

Huntlow is such a great dynamic. Like, they don’t have the pacing and icon status of Lumity or the history and angst of Raeda, but what they share in common with all these ships is their payoff.

Huntlow pays tribute to the character development of both Hunter and Willow in a way no other relationship in the Owl House does. When Luz and Amity meet, they’re still flawed. Luz is still oblivious and naive. Amity is still perfectionistic and cruel. They spend so much time together, recognizing their own shortcomings as well as each others, and this acknowledgment of who they used to be and who they became through each other, is the foundation of their relationship. Luz learns to accept herself and be vulnerable and Amity learns to express herself, quirks and all, and accept unconditional love from another person.

Raeda is, in many ways, the perfect relationship dynamic. Two characters who’ve been together for so long, they know the other better than they know themselves. They have all these memories from when they were kids, and despite experiencing so many ups and downs in their relationship, they still care for each other. Even after Raine breaks up with Eda and begins distancing themselves from Eda during season 2B, Eda still knows how much Raine cares for her. They know each other on a deeper level than most ever will.

But Huntlow? They didn’t meet the other when they were at their lowest. Willow didn’t meet Hunter when he was the Golden Guard, and Hunter didn’t meet Willow when she was “half-a-witch”. They only know each other for who they are now, not the labels people projected onto them or the expectations assigned to them.

Hunter was forced to be stoic and strong, but around Willow, he can be awkward. He can be sweet. Willow became shy and insecure because she was bullied for her abomination magic. But now, she’s a plant witch, an athlete. One of the best plant witches, actually, as well as the captain of a sports team she created. Hunter has only ever know Willow for her strength, her fortitude, and her self-assurance.

Thankfully, this part of the fandom has shrunk considerably, in fact, it was never big to begin with, but I do still see people who dislike Huntlow because they feel it’s rushed, and they’re allowed to feel this way. But Huntlow only feels rushed in part because of Disney’s cancellation of the Owl House, but mostly because of how their relationship begins. When they first meet each other, Willow is a “captain” and Hunter is just Hunter. Luz is the one who sees most of Hunter’s unfavorable moments. His obedience to his abusive uncle and loyalty to the coven system, and every other character besides Hunter remembers when Willow was the meek and timid witch who had no voice and could barely do magic. Seeing two characters who meet after they’ve overcome so much and after they’ve discovered so much about themselves feels antithetical to most relationships in this show.

There’s also detractors specifically because of Hunter’s trauma. They don’t feel comfortable seeing him enter a relationship when he’s still unpacking Belos’ physical and emotional abuse. It’s fair, but what people don’t seem to understand is that traumatized people have partners. Victims and survivors of abuse enter relationships. If Owl House has taught anyone anything about love, it’s that love doesn’t cure, but it does change, even heal. Trauma shouldn’t prevent people from having healthy relationships, in fact, they need healthy relationships just as much as anyone else, if not more. Support helps the recovery process. Yes, the media has enforced toxic portrayals of romantic relationships, and yeah, many stories, particularly made for movies and for television, present love as this magical force that melts cold hearts and purifies dark souls. But, there is still a place in media for the representation Huntlow offers of abuse victims and their journey to recovery.

my 5 favourite k-pop music videos <3

I love music videos, and in k-pop there are a lot of mildy shitty ones, but there are also some amazing ones that are just as iconic as they are aesthetically pleasing. Obviously budget will come into play here, so big 4 groups will be more prevalent on this list, but I tried to be as fair as possible, within reason. Also, I'm a girl group stan, so don't expect many boy groups. Obviously I will forget some, but maybe I'll make a part two, and you are very welcome to leave your fave mvs in the rbs or comments. This list is in no particular order, lets gaur

1. 'Feel Special' - TWICE (JYP Ent.)

This music video inspired this list, and for good reason. 'Feel Special' is in my opinion, the epitome of Twice, as they stand today. It encapsulates their more mature concept post 'Yes Or Yes', but it doesn't alienate their debut cuter concept, it rather welcomes it with open arms and celebrates it as a part of Twice's history, something their newer releases occasionally struggle with. Visually its a feast, its decadent and lavish, and positively gorgeous. Each member has her own movie-esque set, employing various genres and aesthetics, and then the members unite in the most glittery set ever concieved, the gold contrasting their raspberry and champagne outfits magnificently, while also referencing the group's official colours, as seen on their lightstick. The whole video is cinematic and opulent, and every detail, down to Sana's dip died pink hair, and Nayeon's stunning ginger curls which I wish she would bring back, is flawless. The only gripe I have is Chaeyoung's unblended foundation in her solo scene, but hey, we aren't all be perfect. My favourite scenes in this video are the afor-mentioned glittery golden arches group scene, as well as Jihyo's rainbow vintage television scene, that was surprisingly ahead of its time in terms of its retro aesthetics. It's a must-watch music video for the history books, and it's Twice's best song too - it deserves no less.

2. 'Why Not?' - LOONA (BlockBerry Creative - ew)

Note: If you would like to watch this m/v, please stream it from a non official yt channel, in accordance with the boycott. They will usually be marked with 'Boycott Ver.' in the title or something similar.

Loona has a lot of amazing music videos in their arsenal, but 'Why Not?' goes above and beyond. It's one of the most visually striking music videos I have ever seen, and its grasp on colour, composition, and rhythm is completely unparalleled. It's vibrancy is just gorgeous, full of neon lights and shining metallics. The video exists in a constant state of dichotomy: both cool and warm, metropolitan and pastoral, manmade and fantastical. You would assume this would ruin the video's visual message, but the contrast actually enhances it, as well as furthering the group's lore. it's unafraid to experiment with aspect ratio and camera movement, and along with the subversive editing, the final product is unique as well as timeless. Who cares that the last five scenes were neon and retro-futuristic? It's time for Heejin and Hyunjin's black and white minimalist mildly 1920s suited up dance break with a 4:3 aspect ratio of course! As the song itself says, why not? It's as playful as the song, as well as being visually stunning. My favourite scenes include Choerry's upside down mirror moment with the neon lights, as well as Kim Lip in the field with the funky glowing orbs, and of course the cult circle on the moon scene. Fucking iconic.

3. 'Ditto' (Sides A & B) - NewJeans (Ador)

Note: I have a full review of this song, if you are interested.

Where the other videos on this list are overwhelmingly vibrant or cinematic, 'Ditto' is understated and personal. Arguably one of the most influential k-pop music videos of all time, it breaks every rule of what a music video of this genre looks and feels like, rejecting glamour and high fashion for an unromanticized schoolgirl aesthetic surrounded with melancholy. It's heartfelt and unassumingly tragic, and truly makes the viewer yearn for a time they only half remember. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema I have ever seen, and I am so happy that K-pop stans loved it to death as I did, despite how starkly different it is to most everything in k-pop before it. It does however remind me of f(x)'s '4 Walls' m/v, which isn't a shock as Min Heejin (ew) was their creative director also. It also has vibes of the cult classic (?) Japanese movie 'All About Lily Chou Chou'. It has sparked many trends in the industry, including but not limited to: b-roll interspersions, the typical schoolgirl aesthetic, and the general rejection of the polished, glitzy vibe we expect of k-pop idols. Their impact on trends is notable, but in my opinion, no one has executed this aesthetic to the standard that NewJeans has. The unassuming tragic beauty of 'Ditto' is difficult to put into words, you must go and watch the two music videos for it - they are life changing.

4. 'Kill This Love' - BLACKPINK (YG Ent.)

Say what you will about Blackpink, but they KNOW how to do a music video, and 'Kill This Love' is one of their best; it is beyond extravagant. The sets are huge and striking and insane - Jennie floats on the heads of two enormous swans and all four girls dance in the middle of a huge fucking BEAR TRAP and its ridiculously cool. The fashion and styling is amazing too - my fave looks include Jennie's Lara Croft moment with the braid, Lisa's big ass fur coat from her cereal scene, and Jennie's gorgeous eye makeup from her shopping scene with Lisa. In a word, 'Kill This Love' is extra(vagant). Even the scenes that are conceptually ordinary - Lisa's cereal aisle, Rosé crying in her car - are elevated into the extraordinary. There is no real storyline or through line between the scenes other than their saturated colour palettes and the members themselves, but who cares? The members look like fucking goddesses, the dance looks amazing, and there are MULTIPLE jaw-drop moments throughout the runtime - what more do you want? Where 'Ditto' rejects the typical k-pop visual aesthetics, 'Kill This Love' epitomizes them. If I wanted to explain to western pop stan what k-pop is about, this is the video I would show them first. My favourite scenes include: the group scene with the exploding statues and the bad bitch combat outfits, Rosé caught in the storm with beautiful lighting, and THE BEST SCENE IN A BLACKPINK MUSIC VIDEO EVERRRR... Jisoo's goddess moment with the sun and the reflections. Nobody does music videos quite like Blackpink.

5. 'What Is Love?' - TWICE (JYP Ent.)

This music video is so unbelievably special to me. It doesn't break any boundaries with camera movement, editing, or aspect ratio like 'Why Not?', and it doesn't entirely reinvent the typical k-pop music video like 'Ditto' either, but I think it is one of the best music videos ever because it is so FUN. 'What Is Love' is a music video that is a series of references to iconic movies, most of which being about love, as the title suggests. It harkens back to 'La La Land', 'La Boum', 'Pulp Fiction', 'The Princess Diaries', and many more, with the girls playing the characters, on their fictional discovery of what love truly is. It's so special to me because it reminds me of doing exactly what the girls are doing with my best friends and my big sister - trying to learn what love is from the movies is something almost everyone has experienced, and thus the whole video feels nostalgic both for its references, and for its overall concept. It's fun and lighthearted and a memory of simpler times. Oh, to be a 12 year old obsessed with 'The Princess Diaries' again, to be a tween watching 'Pulp Fiction' with your big sister when it's probably not age appropriate, to be young teen watching 'La La Land' right when it came out. What a time to be alive. That's what 'What Is Love?' is, it's a celebration of life, of growing up, of being just a little naive and knowing it. Iconic, truly.

I just read up your post on merc not favoring nico throughout his career. With all the british bias sky/any other medias had against him back in the day, it's definitely interesting when nico decided to join them, always made me wonder how he felt about all of that. Also, did he really sign more than 100 million euros in 2016? That's some insane negotiation skill, considering he hasn't been a wdc 😭

the thing about relationships between sports people and the media is that it's inherently weird. because yes, these people often talk shit about you on the television, but you also often see them more than you see your own family. you share flights with them, and meals, and you see them not just at work, but also in airports and train stations and restaurants and hotels. and both sides need each other. the media need drivers and team personnel to want to talk to them (and sometimes leak them information) and the drivers and teams need the media for coverage, advertising, and to drive certain narratives. and for both sides, the people that you are on camera may not always be who you are off camera, and there is a certain recognition of that.

for nico, while i would say that while the british media treated him fairly terribly during 2014-2016, there were still moments where they acknowledged how good he was. there was this very odd phase in the monza-suzuka section of the 2016 calendar, where it was looking increasingly likely that nico was going to win the championship, and sky were suddenly nice about nico. they wrote articles about how wonderful nico was as a person and said it was a shame that people didn't get to see that side of nico (even though they were the ones portraying him in a certain way), they did a review of the hybrid era and recognised that nico had had more bad luck across the era than lewis, (although lewis had probably had slightly worse luck in 2016) and where earlier race wins like bahrain, china and russia (where he began on the front row and then led all the way to the end) were described as boring and unchallenged, race wins like monza and japan (which were almost identical to the earlier wins) were described as faultless and perfect. even when they were being terrible to him, there were moments that were good.

additionally, a lot of the british hate towards nico only began in 2014. prior to that, coverage was largely positive. nico was driving terrible cars, but he was driving them incredibly well. he dragged some of the shittiest williams cars in their history to places that they should not have been, including onto the podium. i would have to check, but i'm pretty sure that during his time at williams, nico was their only podium finisher. he absolutely destroyed his teammates (the only teammate he never beat in his career was mark webber, who was his teammate during his rookie year, when they were driving a car that spent more time on fire than it did racing), and when he went to mercedes he beat michael schumacher pretty convincingly (only schumi teammate to ever beat him btw). before he became a threat to lewis, the british media were actually quite complimentary about him. so for nico, it's a question of three years of negative coverage versus eight years of pretty good coverage (personally i would still have told them to fuck off).

there's also the fact that nico does triple duty for sky, as he works for sky germany and sky italy too, often in the same weekend. so sky are willing to pay him essentially three times to do one job, which seems like a pretty good deal to me, and i don't think the german or italian coverage of him was ever quite as harsh as the british media, so that might also be a factor. he clearly enjoys what he does, he gets to show up in his little linen beach outfits, say whatever he likes, and leave as the paddock implodes because he's just dropped information that the fia didn't want anyone to know about. truly an icon.

as for the contract extension, yeah it was insane. i think it may have even been for as much as 137 million euros, almost 70 million per year, which is a legitimately insane amount of money for any driver, let alone one who has never won a wdc. as i said, i think nico actually had quite a lot of power/leverage when it came to signing the contract because of what was happening internally at mercedes at the time. also, back then, a lot of merc's biggest sponsors, hugo boss, thomas sabo, etc. were actually nico sponsors, and if he went to ferrari, they would have gone with him, so there was definitely a financial incentive to keep him, but still, georg nolte and gerhard berger definitely earned their money in those negotiations

The Mall in Central Park is one of the most iconic and picturesque features of this famous urban park located in Manhattan, New York City. The Mall is a tree-lined promenade that stretches for approximately 40 feet wide and 0.25 miles long, running through the center of Central Park from 66th Street to 72nd Street. Here's more information about The Mall:

Design and Landscape: The Mall is designed as a grand, formal pathway, flanked by a double row of American elm trees that form a leafy canopy overhead. These trees create a stunning visual tunnel effect, providing shade and shelter for visitors as they walk along the path. The design was inspired by European promenades and boulevards.

Literary and Cultural Significance: The Mall has a rich cultural history and has been featured in numerous films, television shows, and works of literature. It is often associated with scenes of leisurely strolls, romantic encounters, and vibrant outdoor performances. It has appeared in movies like "Manhattan" and "Vanilla Sky" and serves as the backdrop for many memorable moments in pop culture.

Statues and Sculptures: The Mall features several notable statues and sculptures. At the southern end of The Mall stands a statue of Christopher Columbus, which was unveiled in 1892 as part of the 400th anniversary celebration of Columbus's voyage to the Americas. The Mall also includes statues of famous literary figures, including William Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott.

Events and Activities: The Mall is a hub of activity within Central Park. Throughout the year, it hosts a variety of events, including concerts, art exhibitions, and outdoor performances. It's a popular spot for musicians, artists, and street performers to showcase their talents.

Central Park Conservancy: The Central Park Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to the maintenance and preservation of Central Park, plays a vital role in caring for The Mall and ensuring that it remains a beautiful and inviting space for visitors.

Scenic Beauty: The Mall provides some of the most scenic views in Central Park. The tree-lined pathway offers a peaceful escape from the surrounding city streets, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature while remaining in the heart of Manhattan.

Four Seasons: The Mall offers a different experience in each season. In the spring, the elm trees come alive with new leaves, creating a lush green canopy. In the fall, the changing leaves create a stunning display of autumn colors. During the winter, The Mall can be enchanting when covered in snow.

Access: The Mall is easily accessible from various points within Central Park and is a popular starting or stopping point for visitors exploring the park. It's within walking distance of attractions such as Bethesda Terrace, the Central Park Zoo, and many others.

Historical Significance: The Mall is part of the original design of Central Park, conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the mid-19th century. Their vision was to create a space where New Yorkers could escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy nature in an urban setting.

Walking and Recreation: The Mall is a popular destination for people who enjoy walking, jogging, or simply relaxing on one of the many benches along the promenade. It offers a tranquil and pedestrian-friendly environment, making it a favored spot for both locals and tourists.

Wintertime Activities: During the winter months, The Mall often becomes a site for cross-country skiing when there's enough snowfall. The snow-covered trees and serene atmosphere create a magical winter landscape.

Photography: The Mall's picturesque setting makes it a favorite location for photographers, whether it's for professional photoshoots, engagement pictures, or simply capturing the natural beauty of Central Park.

Wedding Ceremonies: The Mall is a popular choice for outdoor wedding ceremonies due to its romantic and photogenic qualities. Many couples choose to exchange vows under the canopy of elm trees, creating a charming and memorable backdrop for their special day.

The Literary Walk: The southern end of The Mall is often referred to as the "Literary Walk." This section features statues of famous literary figures, including William Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott, as well as plaques with quotes from their works. It's a tribute to the literary heritage of the park.

Bridal Path: Parallel to The Mall, on the eastern side of Central Park, there is a Bridle Path, which is used for horseback riding. This path adds to the equestrian and recreational opportunities in the park.

Accessibility: The Mall is easily accessible by foot, bicycle, and various paths within Central Park. It's a peaceful escape from the surrounding city streets, and the ample seating along the promenade encourages visitors to take their time and enjoy the surroundings.

In summary, The Mall in Central Park is a beloved and iconic feature that embodies the park's commitment to providing a tranquil and scenic escape in the heart of New York City. It is not only a place of natural beauty but also a cultural and historical landmark that continues to captivate visitors and serve as a symbol of Central Park's enduring allure.

The Mall in Central Park continues to be a place of serenity and natural beauty that offers a respite from the urban hustle and bustle of New York City. Whether you're looking for a leisurely stroll, a place to enjoy the changing seasons, or a quiet spot for reflection, The Mall provides an enchanting experience in the heart of this iconic urban oasis.
