German Listening Comprehension: Buying train tickets in Germany by Fabi Rommel

I feel like this is relevant to your interests: there's a Canadian show called Transplant that has John Hannah in it, and damn that man aged up well. We're talking real silver fox territory.
Wikipedia says that his character is ‘gruff but compassionate’
I would therefore like to volunteer to drink Ovaltine under a soft blanket with confirmed silver fox John Hannah while he rants furiously about politics
Ok but John Hannah as Johnathan Carnahan like this, with Oded Fehr like THIS
Because what’s better than one silver fox?
Two silver foxes.
And what’s even better than that?
TWO SILVER FOXES DOING ROMANCE WITH EACH OTHER.
I’m not saying that Universal have to give us a 5 part feature film series about silver foxes Jonathan Carnahan and Ardeth Bay saving the world from evil, but I’m also - no, OK, I’m totally saying that.
The chicken can be the plucky sidekick.
One of the films isn’t even about them saving the world, it’s just them going about their lives, like installment three; shopping at a bazaar and arguing about the authenticity of a ‘cursed’ item for sale, sunset horse rides in the dunes, face palming together as they read the latest letter from Evie about the O'Connell’s shenanigans, special cruise on the Nile. And then someone comments on them being such a romantic couple and it’s all “WHO US? OH NO, YOU ARE CONFUSED MY DEAR! AHAHA, JUST IMAGINE! …. hmmm, just imagine….” And then films 4 and 5 are action packed again and simply wrought with romantic tension dialed up to 11.
Rick and Evy spend the entire 5 film arc playing matchmaker and trying to get them together in an increasingly ludicrous series of nefarious plots, including (but not limited to):
- Rick ‘accidentally’ locks them in a tomb together, expecting them to succumb to proximity, but when he opens the tomb again 4 hours later he just finds them arguing about whether it’s ethical to steal jewellery from dead people because, in Jonathan’s words, ‘dead people never look good in diamonds’
- Evy invites them to attend an Egyptology conference with her and books 2 double rooms, but then Ardeth spins a yarn about it being the greatest honour to share a room with Rick, his Medjai brother, and he seems so excited to finally get some Medjai bro bonding time that she doesn’t have the heart to tell him that it was supposed to be for him and Jonathan
- Rick kidnaps Plucky Motherclucker and holds her hostage until the two idiots talk to each other, but he doesn’t specify what they have to talk about, so they just talk to each other very pointedly about the weather in front of Rick for 2 hours and he has to concede defeat
- In a fit of absolute desperation, Evy brings Jonathan along to a dig in Luxor, where he gets summarily kidnapped by an evil cult who want to resurrect Amenhotep III and use Jonathan’s body as a vessel. Evy expects Ardeth to sweep in and save the day in magnificent heroic fashion, but within 3 hours Jonathan has freed himself by annoying the cult into leaving him unguarded for 10 minutes, during which time he steals 3 bracelets and a sceptre, dispatches five cult members with a revolver, and then recites the incantation to return Amenhotep III to the afterlife from memory. Evy is too impressed to be annoyed that her plan didn’t work
Finally, at the end of the fifth film, Rick and Evy just yell at Jonathan and Ardeth for 10 minutes straight. Evy is like “you have no idea how much of my life I’ve wasted trying to get you two together!” and Jonathan is like “is that what you were doing? Really? It wasn’t very obvious,” and Evy is like “are you joking, I literally gave you a bottle of champagne and locked the two of you in my bedroom last year,” and Jonathan shrugs and he’s like “I thought you just wanted us to get some sleep, I was flattered that you cared for my welfare. Also, you’ve been wasting your time because we’ve been together this entire time, you could have just asked us,” and then Rick flips a table.
I would devour this fanfic tbh.

Bruce Wayne Pleads City Yet Again To Stop Gerrymandering: “This might be what drives me to buy myself a fucking politician like everyone else in my social class,” says the philanthropist.
Bruce Wayne Says Luthor, Queen, Gates Could Stop Pandemic If They Took Action, Challenges Them To “Meet Me In The Pit”.
"If we fight with bo staff, I can defeat them in single combat while still maintaining social distancing,“ says Wayne, apparently not joking.
When asked if he thought Wayne was serious, son Jason Todd, 24, said, “Timbo’s the best with a bo staff, but Dad can and will bet up Lex Luthor. I’d be willing to open a betting pool. All the proceeds would go to pandemic relief in the Narrows.”
Mayor Says Red Hood Is Considered Essential, Not His Employees
“It wasn’t like I was gonna have them out there in this shit anyways,” says the druglord. “If anyone does, it’s Penguin or Mask. I’ve emptied out all my warehouses, and they’re open as shelters. Fuck the government.” When asked his opinion on the mayor declaring him essential as part of Batman’s team, Red Hood laughed.

this is going to be all of you guys. also someone take the url "hegelianwife" quickly if it hasnt already been
"Recently we got in a huge fight because he was trying to demonstrate an example of the Hegelian concept of the "unity of opposites" (whatever that means) by claiming that right and left hands are opposite but also identical. I told him this is just wrong and that right and left hands are not "identical" in any meaningful sense (chirality is a basic concept in geometry/group theory: left and right hands are not superimposable). He kept putting his hands together and tried to show how they were "identical" and kept failing (because they're not) and then got angry and stormed out of the house. I haven't seen him since (this was about a day ago) and texted him and haven't heard back."

My favorite part of the thread was when everyone was like, "This had me going until the framed picture of Hegel; great joke but obviously fake." but then all the academics in humanities chimed in and said, "No, honestly that's the most believable part of the whole thing."
I feel like contemporary Indian fashion might ur thing? Like sabysachi men's?
Ahhh you’re not wrong. I have pulled up contemporary Indian wedding catalogues and just gazed at the grooms’ clothing until my eyes melted. Good silhouettes, good colors, good patterns, just… good.
The collar! The embroidery! The elegantly draping velvet! It’s so… [kisses fingers like a French chef]
Contemporary Indian menswear is, especially compared to the drabness of Western menswear, magnificent stuff, and I truly wish I could get away with wearing it in the (mainstream American) context in which I live without looking like an absolute twit. Ah well.
There’s an interesting story to how Western menswear got drab, but I am not the person to tell it because I know only the general outline and would get all the details wrong.
I like a well-fitted tuxedo as much as the next person, but the tyranny of the “classic” suit and tie in US men’s formalwear is so tragic. Most guys don’t know to dress themselves nicely to begin with, and can’t afford to do so anyway. Suits only look good when they’re perfectly tailored, but if we still wore capes? Draping fabric? Intricate patterns and bold colors? Imagine how much better suits would look if embroidery were normalized and decoration extended beyond tie pins and cufflinks.
