    Co-signed. Writers/Designers, this is a masterclass on how to use context in messaging. Also: Wow. How lucky are we to be alive on this tiny planet spinning through space?

    This description of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is probably the best piece of writing I've read in a while. That was beautiful.
