the agenda: villainous and campy

If Staff ever implements the editing method from Mastodon, we'd be fucked.

Currently, on Tumblr, if you edit a post, all the former reblogs stay exactly the same.

On Mastodon, editing a post changes all the boosts and simply notifies the people who interacted with the post prior to the edit.

Now, can you imagine that on Tumblr?

Surely giving the OP the ability to edit their post after hundreds of thousands of people have reblogged it would be a perfectly balanced feature that I'm sure the Tumblr' userbase has never abused before.

Hey guys I have a great idea. A really, really brilliant idea

no offense but Cobra Starship is better than The Beatles

I forgot they existed

I get that, I forget about The Beatles a lot too

Huh, I forget that some people just don’t have good taste in music.

I know right? Like why would anyone listen to The Beatles

I don’t know, they only revolutionized music for all time.

right??? like where would we be without guilty pleasure…snakes on a plane …church of hot addiction….god I could go on forever

Also what the fuck was the im sorry dance. They really just did that and there was no further context. One of them said "do a silly little jig for my forgiveness" one day and they both just. Committed. What is wrong with them I wanna study them under a microscope

The first date of the I’m sorry dance was in 1650, when the puritans were in charge. It would be so like Aziraphale to have supported the puritans because “they’re doing good” only to realise wait, they stopped theatre and Crowley just standing there grinning.

“Very well, you were right, they are dreadful.”

“Not good enough, angel.”

“What? I said you were right.”

“Not good enough. Do it again. With a little dance.”

“Crowley, you can’t be serious.”

“With. A little. Dance.”

Did you know SAG-AFTRA is allowing A24 to continue using its actors during the strike because they’ve accepted every single one of SAG-AFTRA’s terms. A small budget film studio can treat its actors and writers fairly. Amazing job goes to A24. Learn from this.

governor of the colony: hey I’m gonna go back to england to get more supplies

115 colonists: okay

governor: ends up spending 3 years in england bc of a naval war with spain or some shit

governor: gets back to the colony to find everyone gone

governer: sees the word “croatoan”, the name of a native american tribe, carved into a post

everyone: what could have happened to the colonists of roanoke
