I came across one of those old school anti-sexism posts on facebook that highlight sexism by swapping the male and female words, you know the kind (it was calling a firefighter a "male firewoman" instead of a fireman), and of course everyone in the comments was getting in on the bit, and I was gifted with the greatest word I've seen in many years in which one of the people doing the bit was talking about male firewomen getting hysterical in crisis situations
And used the word "testerical"
TESTERICAL. I LOVE IT.
I think it would be better for everyone if I were to be left alone in the future. Don't you?
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?

william blake lived in soho and saw angels. he did some very nice paintings for Paradise Lost, including several with a red haired snake.
"Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought."

About Good Omens
when Metatron gave Aziraphale the coffee, Aziraphale drank it after little prompting, when Aziraphale tried to convince Gabriel sushi was good Gabriel said he didn't 'taint is ethereal body with gross earthly matter', angels don't eat or drink food. Crowley tempted Aziraphale into eating and drinking, so when metatron offers aziraphale a coffee and he takes it I'm thinking that could've been his way of seeing how "far gone" Aziraphale was from the heaven lifestyle, how sinful, or how corrupted earth and Crowley made him. The coffee wasn't mind control the coffee was a test and Aziraphale failed it.
