I really liked it. Definitely could have been tighter, and the ending was not well thought out, but absolutely a fun movie. I like Ms Marvel as a character.

In South Africa they call it a "circle." Bonus if it is near a red light - “Go to the circle after the robot.”

My wife made this joke during a presentation that was part of a job interview. Nobody laughed. Clear sign of a toxic environment.

Depends on the program you are in. The view from being a doctoral student to being a postdoc to being research/lecturing staff is very different. Not all advisors expose their students to the realities of higher levels of academia. And when a woman or minority is being mentored by a white man, they may not be aware of biases that can affect the student's later career.

The troopers in scene 1 of a New Hope were pretty scary.

Not very long, not a hard read, moderately enjoyable.

My rough estimate is $120B. How far off am I?
