Soon.
#GoodOmens
I left them alone in the back room and walked to the entrance to see a dark-skinned demon standing on the stoop. Their back was to me as they stared over at Nina's coffee shop. They wore a ratty black coat, ragged scarf, and fingerless gloves. Two tufts of hair stuck above their head like animal ears. They seemed vaguely familiar, though I couldn’t place where I’d seen them. To my annoyance, Michael had left the door open again. I made a mental note to remind them that humans kept doors to the outside closed. As did angels who didn’t want sticky-fingered customers inside their store. I clasped my hands behind my back. “Can I help you?” The demon swung around with a nervous squeak. What looked like an entire pot of coffee had soaked the front of their blue button-down. They were still dripping coffee onto the sidewalk. “I need to talk to someone.” “Did Hell send you? Because I have to tell you, if you’re going to start bothering Crowley again, I’ll not stand for it. He’s earned his retirement.” He shook his head. “I’m here on my own. I just need some advice.” I relaxed slightly. “Are you looking for Crowley? Because I’m afraid he’s in North America at the moment.” Something about tempting a political candidate for president, which hardly seemed like work at all, if you asked me. Even though he was retired, he still liked to keep his hand in the till, figuratively speaking. Literally speaking at times, too, but one learns to overlook certain things when one is in love with a demon. He probably also wanted a break from all the other angels and demons who were constantly underfoot these days. “No, I don’t … I don’t want to talk to him.” The demon looked over their shoulder at the coffee shop again, their big eyes wide and fearful. I spotted Nina cleaning off a table. She saw us staring and raised a middle finger our way. Since I couldn’t recall doing anything to upset her, she was likely the reason for the demon’s soaked shirt. "If you remove the coffee first, you can come inside and tell me what you need.” They lifted up the edge of their shirt and sniffed at the stain. "Why? It smells kinda nice." "Nevertheless, I don't wish to have coffee dripping onto my things." They muttered something that sounded like "Angels are weird," before running a hand over their front. The coffee dried up, though the stain remained. "Thank you," I said. "Please be welcome inside." I stepped back to allow them entrance. They looked at me in wonder and more than a little fear. They’d already seen the door answered by an archangel, and now here was the former Supreme Archangel inviting what I suspected was a fairly low-level demon into a Heavenly embassy. As far as demonic life expectancies went, the odds weren't great. “You’re not gonna smite me, are you?” “As long as you don’t try to hurt anyone, no.” They bit their cheek and stared at their feet, clearly considering my answer. With a resigned shrug, they took a hesitant step across the threshold. When they didn’t catch on fire or melt, they breathed a sigh of relief and moved further into the room. They looked around, awed. “Looks different in daylight. Pretty. I like all the cobwebs.”

I think I'm okay so long as he doesn't get distracted.

Why do I do this to myself? I literally use one of the same three guns every raid. (Those aren't all of them either. I have an entire weapon rack full of guns).

For reasons I don't get, every time I go on a run in Escape From Tarkov with this gun and die, the AI scavs pick it apart, and I get very little of it back. Fully kitted M4A1 rifle? Returned with no parts missing. Cheap Russian SMG? Taken apart like vultures at a cow carcass. #EscapeFromTarkov

They’re talking about Jesus at his crucifixion here.
Scene between the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley from Good Omens during the crucifixion of Jesus. The first panel is Crowley asking, “What was it he said that got everyone so upset?” The second panel is Aziraphale responding, “Be kind to each other.” The final panel is Crowley saying, “Oh, yeah. That’ll do it.”

They finally covered this manhole after at least 2 1/2 years (that’s how long I’ve lived here; who knows how long it was open before).
A manhole beside the sidewalk with a partly rusted cover. The same manhole without a cover, leading to a six foot drop to concrete.

Mine looks remarkably similar. Automation is primarily just playing a shit ton of Factorio.

I live in Querétaro, a tiny state just north of Mexico City. Here's what our 10-day looks like. Temp changes are just a very gradual up and then a very gradual down. April/May are the hottest months (and even then only doing the afternoon and early evening).
Screenshot from the weather channel site showing a ten-day forecast for Querétaro, Mexico. The highs are between 23C and 28C while the lows are between 8C and 10C.

Gosh, should I pay $16 to have my order delivered at almost certainly the same time as it would be with free shipping? What a bargain!

Never thought I'd see an actual honest headline about the shitgibbon on one of the major news sites.

I had this exact copy, and I absolutely loved it. I don't even know how many times I read it.

Digital oil painting of Good Omen's Aziraphale and Crowley close enough to kiss. They're dressed in their 1941 style. Crowley is wearing a black suit, waistcoat, red tie, and charcoal shirt. You can see his serpent tattoo. Aziraphale is wearing a light-color jacket that may be gray (it's not super clear). His shirt and bowtie are white. The background is dark gray and white. The artist is Alice Blake.
