I like that “Inside Out” shows even negative emotions have value. For instance, disgust keeps you from being poisoned. Of course, the first time you see Disgust in action, she’s reacting to *broccoli*. Just because you’re disgusted by something doesn’t mean it’s *actually* harmful.

Ironically, that’s probably in part because I’m old enough to remember the Sandman guest spot in the 1990s.

perfectly logical explanation
I have always been fascinated by the Winchester House — but never heard this perfectly logical explanation for it. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/mystery-house/ — @johannadc
Historian Mary Jo Ignoffo…believes that what drove Sarah Winchester to build was her desire to be an architect.
Sarah Winchester lived at a time when it was highly unusual for women to be architects. She wasn’t licensed, so her own home was the perfect place—and the only place—where she could practice architecture.
Whatever her motivations were, Sarah Winchester built a house with more than 150 rooms, 2000 doors, 47 fireplaces, 40 bedrooms, 40 staircases, 17 chimneys, 13 bathrooms, six kitchens, three elevators, two basements, and one shower. She spent nearly all of her life being an architect.
@johannadc Interesting idea! I’ve toured it a few times – it IS fascinating – but of course they play up the sensational take on it.

Angsty Superheroes
Comments on Mary Sue: Daredevil v Batman v Superman: Getting Angst Right in the Superhero Genre
I’d like to think that the general popularity of Daredevil amongst comic book/superhero fans should make it clear that fans who aren’t thrilled about the dark tone of Man of Steel (and the implied dark tone of Batman v. Superman) aren’t all just afraid of having grown-up superhero stories, but that grimness and darkness fit some characters better than others. (YMMV as to which characters they fit.)
But then the complementary tones of Flash and Arrow don’t seem to get that across either, and they actually make meta-references about it in the shows.
I’m *hoping* that once DC’s cinematic universe branches out, they’ll break things up tonally as well (like they’re doing with the DC & Vertigo TV shows), but it’s hard to be confident when they’re presenting the launchpad movie as doubling down on the angst.

SRSLY? Look, I like Peet’s coffee in general, and I’m not a fan of McDonald’s, but comparing their new iced blended coffee as containing “Double strength, fresh-brewed coffee” compared to *every ingredient* in a McCafe down to the guar gum goes beyond disingenuous.
