I get that every newsroom and classroom won’t have a physical globe so people can try to compare sizes.
But everyone needs to use tools like this more frequently

A website that lets you select a country or state and move it around a Mercator projection map to yield better size comparisons.

I love Persona 4 Golden,
but game devs should have to justify every hour past the first five.
I’m not “a free time millionaire” any more.

I have a related belief that it is totally fine for a play or movie to be longer than 90 minutes, I just need you to fill out a form for every single minute over 90 explaining why you need that minute
i think if a director wants to make a movie longer than 120 min they should have to get permission via national referendum

Never seen it.
But don’t feel bad for me.
In middle school my best friend told me what happened.
And if pop culture has taught me anything, it is that he nailed it.
10/10 Would listen to again.

Time to spend all day watching movies!
Alien (1979)
An absolute classic, one of my favorites. Scifi Horror at its best.
HR Giger's design is awe inspiring, Weaver is powerful force. Wonder and terror awaits.
We're watching all of them today though. Join me, won't you? Who else is a fan?

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

Is it passive aggressive if the next time I talk about my research, I preempt the rude “how are you valid” by saying “in case you’re waiting for question time to ask how I’m valid, I brought some pacifiers for the giant babies in the room” and like, actually have a bag of pacifiers?
