It's October 30th, 🛸 War of the Worlds Day! It was on this evening in 1938 that radio listeners across the United States heard a startling report of mysterious Martian creatures and their terrifying war machines advancing toward New York City. But the hair-raising broadcast was not a real news bulletin – it was Orson Welles' sensational, realistic dramatization of the H.G. Wells 1898 classic science-fiction novel, "The War of the Worlds." In the 21st century, life would imitate art when the diabolical Putin creature attacked Ukraine with his war machines.
“The War of the Worlds” wasn't the world's first fake-news radio dramatization, but it was certainly the most successful. Everybody involved with the broadcast's development and production, Welles included, thought the presentation was going to be too silly for people to take seriously. Boy, were they wrong – a great many did!
The Federal Communications Commission responded to the deluge of complaints that poured in, but ruled that no law had been broken. Radio networks did, however, agree to be more cautious in their programming in the future. In the aftermath of the broadcast's notoriety, Welles landed in Hollywood. In 1941, he directed, wrote, produced, and starred in one of the greatest American films ever made, "Citizen Kane." ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
My fav part in Stayed Gone is when Al is bullying him, Vox tries to physically block Al's radio
And then the next scene it shows that Vox didn't block shit and just recreated Alastor's radio on his TVs to rp himself doing literally anything to effect the situation meanwhile, in reality, nothing has actually changed.
Which is??? Honestly???? So embarrassing for him. Why do you have Al's radio room saved like a fucking screensaver you absolute gay loser

Vox is going on a tangent about Lucifer 'stealing' Alastor from him when Alastor grabs him by his stupid sweater vest yanks him down, and growls, "If you ever imply that I am incapable of making my own choice in romantic partner ever again, I will de-vein you like a shrimp," and then tosses him aside.
Lucifer, who witnesses the whole thing, is very confused.
Back at the hotel:
Lucifer: Are we dating all of the sudden?
Alastor: We're not, but I know the thought of it will have Vox crying himself to sleep tonight, and that brings me immense satisfaction.
