They suck. For example the latter picture in the post below is malformed. The original before uploading is fine and well readable. I posted with Firefox as I can’t post images to blog posts at all with Opera. The editor looks horrible in Firefox with a barely readable font as I’m typing this.
I don’t know [...]

From BBC. This is also probably related to why it somehow makes me feel better to listen to sad music when I’m sad, and not happy music.
