You may not believe it kids, but once upon a time, tolerance of diverse views and competition within the marketplace of ideas as opposed to censorship was considered a key strength of the American way of life in contrast to socialist dictatorships.
Happy Lima Bean Respect Day! 🫘 Lima beans were an integral part of Disney Legend Wally Boag's "Golden Horseshoe Revue" performances—as fake teeth! 😃
Visit our current special exhibition Happiest Place on Earth: The Disneyland Story to see Boag's lima bean "teeth" in person.
As gimmicky as this is and as disappointed as I've been with the MCU since Endgame, I still plan to definitely catch the re-release in theaters; opening night if possible
Also, it is very self evident that the people most pissed off about this on this web site were never going to see the re-release no matter what and were not going to be among the first - if ever - to see Doomsday in theaters
Gonna go out on a limb that the new footage involves Steve on his mission to put the Infinity Stones back accidentally creating a new branching timeline from which Doom emerges
Now we’ve got no Iger, no Cook, and no Buffett. Please don’t let anything happen to Kevin Bacon
Anyone can have any opinions they want, but the company selling AI as a weapon should not be publicly opining - with the official platform of that company - on Germany & Japan’s place in the postwar Western alliance. Not hard to see how that turns into a very messy conflict of interest very quickly.
Also, I won’t pretend to try to understand what’s going on in Karp’s mind, but imo it is incredibly inappropriate & disturbing for any defense company to publicly advance a political platform this sweeping. (Or really, any platform that is more than “Buy our products because they work well.”)
Of all the points in that Palantir thread, point 9 is definitely the most darkly ironic. We have already reached that end state my dude, but it’s definitely not from lack of forgiveness.
We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.
Yeah, I’m sure you are correct which just makes it even sadder

Necessary UI improvement. I don’t know how many times I have frustratedly clicked around the WDW and DLR apps trying to find today’s plans and only finding future plans but it was definitely more than once or twice.
The “ask ChatGPT what flavor Starbucks to get” thing is so funny to me b/c - setting aside most people ordering Starbucks prob already know what coffee they like - if you’re not sure what to order, why not ask the barista serving you, who unlike ChatGPT, has experienced the human sensation of taste?
Another reminder not to take every announcement at face value. (Even if the Strait opened today, and ships started transiting normally, there would still be major disruption ahead due to lagging traffic).

IF YOU'RE NOT USING THE STEAM ENGINE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST GIVE UP.
The problem with this conspiracy theory is the same as all other conspiracy theories - it assumes a superhuman level of perfect coordinated secrecy among politically and ideologically diverse individuals and organizations across the local, state, & federal level.
BlueAnon is just as dumb as QAnon.
Either cynically juicing the market or he’s mentally declined to the point where he actually believes this. Or both.
“The most consequential development of the 21st century is the destruction by the most powerful state in the international order of its own primacy.”
Quite the first sentence by @kschake.bsky.social
Exactly one year ago today:
Inconsequential hot take: There are way too many meaningless large format “standards.”
IMAX and Omnimax are real things. (Unless it’s the watered down fake IMAX)
Dolby is arguably real.
Everything else is fake. 4DX? RPX? AMC XL? InfinityVision? Get out of here. Those aren’t real things.
Nothing to do with MAGA. Bluesky is having widespread system issues today.
Agreed. Would be a big win for parking lot CMs and guest experience too!
In fairness to WDW on this, they do have several large fields of solar panels on property; just not where most guests will ever see them 😅
It’s been overshadowed by Venezuela and especially Iran, but the deadly boat bombing campaign is still going, even though:
-There’s no war
-The US wasn’t attacked or under threat
-Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists
-These may not be traffickers
-It’s blatantly illegal
-With no clear strategy either
An email purportedly about a pricing update where you make me scroll through 8 paragraphs of marketing before the new price is provided 🙃
Brain worms on the other hand…
As those who remember the heady “Add .com to literally anything and watch the stock shoot up instantly” days of the early aughts can attest, this is totally normal and healthy and sustainable.
My understanding is the releases themselves were already subcontracted out to Sony. This article says that Sony is supposed to handle marketing too, so my guess is that reality finally caught up to staffing needs.
A capable interviewer would’ve followed this up by asking Vance to explain one tenet of Just War Theory.
