You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

no more 6 foot tall dude silhouettes, "toilet for comparison" is a much more evocative creature scale metric
It's hard to grasp how large this grouper is until you see it in comparison to the ship's toilet on the left.
This appears to be an Atlantic goliath grouper or 'itajara' (Epinephelus itajara). They can reach 800 lbs (350 kg) & 8 feet long (2.5 m)
Let's talk about these gentle giants.

I think often of the Rossettis’s beloved pet wombat, who once seized upon the distraction provided by Algernon Swinburne reciting a poem by Walt Whitman during a dinner party to eat the entire box of cigars meant to smoke during dessert

Unironically yes, LOWER DECKS is about how the response to the disappointments of the post-Cold War era and the complexity of the modern world should not be despair or cynicism but instead a recommitment to the original ideals of liberalism, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I grew up in a russian family (and I think this is also true in the U.S.) where French language is holistically vaporized into High Culture only to move to Canada where the dual-language packaging mandate has me reading debased formulations such as “Cheez-it format familial… 75% plus de Cheez-It”

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth
The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?

The Ambassador Bridge was built in 1928 and is an object lesson as to why *international crossings* should never be in private hands.
The family that owns it has destroyed entire neighbourhoods in Detroit and Windsor (including my childhood neighborhood) in bids to maintain power over the crossing.
