What is art? It's healthy, is what it is. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-you-should-make-art-even-if-youre-bad-2016-6?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=topbar&utm_term=desktop&referrer=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2zWwygp-eki3GwRdKY3fiBuhjO_mqNLhOTg_6XsKF76Ob2aqNm_9EM5Vo?utm_source%3Dfacebook?utm_source%3Dfacebook

The paradox of tolerance. Without a doubt the most culturally relevant paradox on this list, the paradox of tolerance is the idea that a society that is entirely tolerant of all things will also be tolerant of intolerance. Eventually, the tolerated intolerant elements of a society will seize control, rendering that society a fundamentally intolerant one. Therefore, in order to remain a tolerant society, intolerance cannot be tolerated. And n short, as we become more tolerant, those who we've become i tolerant of take more power. Which makes sense as we're seeing in modern society and liberal tolerance of the intolerant conservatives. https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/10-bizarre-paradoxes?rebelltitem=10#rebelltitem10

The Captain Marvel trailer dropped the other day and I didn't share it because ... meh . But this, this is Avengers: Endgame where we will see the culmination of 10 years of MCU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA6hldpSTF8&feature=share

The researchers believe that drawing led to better memory when compared with other study techniques because it incorporated multiple ways of representing the information–visual, spatial, verbal, semantic and motoric. A long time ago, in a state far far away, I started doodling while the teachers were talking. It's something I kept with me then one day it was just gone. I don't know when or why, maybe because I stopped being a student, but one day I was sitting in a corporate training wondering why i couldn't retain much of the information. Upon wondering why I realized there were few to no doodles in my notebook. So, I started doodling and the information became easier to retain. via Luna Occulta Originally shared by Neuroscience News Drawing is Better than Writing for Memory Retention Older adults who take up drawing could enhance their memory.

Where did the term "restroom" originate and why do women get those couches in theirs? Well, that's a story from another time ... The women’s parlor at the Emporium in San Francisco offered visitors periodicals and stationery in addition to a place to rest. Similar impressive but no-longer-existing spaces could be found at Higbee’s in Cleveland, the Jordan Marsh Company in Boston, and at the “rest rooms” at Lansburgh & Bro. department store in Washington, D.C. Today, you can still find seating areas adjacent to the women’s restroom in many Nordstrom stores across the country, as well as at Bloomingdale’s and the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. https://www.citylab.com/design/2018/12/history-womens-bathroom-design-lounge/576742/

Well, that's a damn shame. If any shows made it I would thought Daredevil would have sauntered past the Netflix / Marvel Disney squabbles. https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/11/30/daredevil-season-3-cancelled-netflix-marvel-season-4/

Finally had a chance to see Venom . It was ... not good. I still don't see how you can have the symbiote in the Spider-Man mythos without first having it attached to Peter Parker. The acting was sub-par. The plot was silly. The symbiote named itself Venom ? Because outer space goo-aliens have English names? The symbiote considered itself a loser? Since when? Eddie Brock's and the symbiote's undying hatred for Peter Parker are what fueled their bond, not some sort of genetic match. The symbiote survived for years on Spider-Man without having to eat people, but now it can't go days without human kibble? There was just so much wrong with this film. https://youtu.be/xLCn88bfW1o

The first trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has over 30 million views. Of course Sony is already greenlighting sequels. If 30 million people go see the first movie that's a pretty big paycheck for Sony's Spider-Man investment. 30 x $12 (average ticket price) = 360. Add a bunch of zeroes and that's not too shabby: $360,000,000. https://geektyrant.com/news/theres-a-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-sequel-in-the-works-and-an-all-female-spinoff-film

Stan "The Man" Lee: the personification of Americana. _2. He Was the Quintessential American  His was a purely American success story. He was born to Romanian immigrant parents in 1922 New York City; his name was Stanley Lieber, and by the time he was a teenager, he was working odd jobs from newspaper sales to writing obituaries in order to help support his family in their one-bedroom, third-floor Bronx apartment. After graduating from high school, he started as a gofer at a small comic-book publishing company and then worked his way up. His career took a side path when he served in World War II, making training films and manuals with other soon-to-be luminaries, from Charles Addams to Frank Capra to Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Geisel. When he returned to the public sector, he continued to work in whatever he could, from comic books to Hollywood take-offs. Then came the Marvel revolution — a thing that, if not of his own design, was at least his own responsibility to publicize — and...

The world really does need more Firefly . “It’s a huge tribute to the creators of the original show that their rich, intriguing world and hilarious, compelling characters could inspire so many additional stories,” Pak told EW. “We’re getting the chance to reveal essential truths about our heroes’ pasts and put them through experiences in the here and now that they’ve never fully dealt with before. As a fan of the show who adores these characters, I can’t wait.” You can't take the sky from me ... ! https://io9.gizmodo.com/a-new-firefly-prequel-comic-will-reveal-the-full-story-1827294071
