@zeynep @trvrb When's the last time the longer term did us any favors?

@mack_dee_jay What is the object right by Fry's ear?

@Cotopaxi87 @terikerr @FCPSKY I already think teachers should be paid more? What does that have to do with there being zero in school days this week?

[Ben Hammerslag @bhammerslag]

@DaemnLTW @FCPSKY @MayorGorton Schools in Wisconsin and Minnesota somehow remain open through the winter months. We also haven't had subzero temps at night. Lowest recorded is 3 (which is quite cold, but above zero) https://t.co/By1yTR676W

@ArmyStrang "meet-cute":
(in a film or television show) an amusing or charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them.

"it all started with a little meet-cute in a hospital elevator"

@JinglesPigtails @wrongsreversed "So the book starts with this girl who imagines her toy is an actual alien .."

[Ben Hammerslag @bhammerslag]

@DartDamo @FincherAlison @wrongsreversed "The Factory" by Oyomada, and "Convenience Store Woman" by Murata.

Both definitely have plots, but they're also not super plot-driven (in my opinion)

@benpartridge Ben is it a blessing or a curse that it's impossible to make a good portmanteau out of "Wales" and "Woke"?

@TheDazzlingOne If it entices you to watch it, it has an honest to god intermission, so it's easy to watch over 2 nights if you need to

@TheDazzlingOne Lots of KidPix memories, esp. the mode where it would randomly generate some crazy thing for you to draw.

The Big Short is a public service and should be watched once a year.

[Ben Hammerslag @bhammerslag]

@SamAdlerBell I think that's a plausible conclusion about many, but then why don't they just say "I don't like sex in movies"? People who don't like horror don't say "There should only be blood and guts if it moves the plot forward".
