Nice. This was one of the only expeditions I ever missed, will be nice to finally get to play it!

Same for TV ads opposing our Amendment 4 in Florida. Just so much demonstrably false info. Early in the election ads ramp-up, there was one that actually showed the full text of the amendment on-screen, while making false claims about it in the voiceover.

They're pandering to a base that does not care about facts, and who often will not even bother to read what is put in front of them.

Maybe 30 to 45 minutes in Merritt Island, Florida, back in 2004.

It was my first time voting, and I went with my parents after they were home from work, so it's likely that that was the longest anyone there waited.

I've lived all over central Florida since, and have never had to wait at all, but that's mostly because I do Early Voting or even Vote By Mail now.

Check out Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't (aka Joey Santore, aka Tony Santoro). He's been a vocal advocate for the "kill your lawn" / natural landscaping crowd for a while, and also I just really enjoy him.

He worked on/is working on a cable TV show called "Kill Your Lawn" too, but it's not super widely available. You can find some episodes of that on YouTube as well.

Been a lot of "demon" talk from him lately. Tucker's literally turning into Alex Jones before our very eyes.

Picked it up because of this post, and I'm really enjoying it. You really get a sense of the "weight" of the creature as you move around corners and through narrow spaces and it's nauseating, in the best way. Reminds me a lot of John Carpenter's The Thing.

I can't be sure this was the primary use-case that the AI inventors envisioned, but it's hard to argue that it's not successful at this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

... for him, in the US, in that situation, it would probably be best to get a gun himself and the next time the guy does something like this, just two to the chest. ... Seeing he has a restraining order and whatnot previous things, probably should be somewhat of an easy case to defend as self-defense, right? Unless it's just even fucking sadder, and it is just because he's black and he'd just end up imprisoned for murder.

"Imprisoned for murder" might still be on the optimistic side of potential outcomes... He could well be murdered himself, by the police, in reponse to what you and I see as self-defense. (I am guessing from the "in the US" part of your comment and other context that you aren't from here, and may not be aware of the history of institutionalized racism that would make any interaction with the police potentially dangerous for him. Forgive me if I have erred there.)

There's a reason the lyrics are "Some of those who work forces burn crosses."

I think you dropped this:

are the same that

to start to delegitimize the illegitimate J6 committee

How does one delegitimize that which is already illegitimate? 🤔

Gotta save some "features" for the Premium version.

How the fuck do you accuse someone of being a terrorist and then threaten to blow them up?

Same way you claim your political opposition is committing widespread voter fraud, and then yours is the only party ever caught doing it.

Same way you accuse trans folks of being "child groomers," when the vast majority of cases involve men from your own political party or religious group.

Same way... Well, you see where this is going.

 

D23 is a biannual event where Disney reveals their plans for parks, media, and other entertainment. D23 2024 took place this past weekend, and there were a lot of big announcements. In an effort to draw contrast with previous D23 events which included some highly speculative plans, Disney Experiences Chairmen Josh D'Amaro prefaced the Imagineering project announcements by saying:

“Everything we share here tonight is in active development. This isn’t Blue Sky. We’re doing all of it.”

I haven't found a singular, concise list of all the announcements in one place, so I'm trying to compile it all here. Please chime in if you see I missed anything, or if you're particularly hyped (or particularly not hyped) about any of these announcements!

Parks

  • Magic Kingdom

    • Villians-themed land to be added, adjacent to Frontierland. There's some concept art and "two new attractions planned as well as dining, shopping and more."
    • Two Cars attractions to be added in Frontierland. There's some concept art for that as well. Not a mirror of the existing Cars Land or Radiator Springs Racers, but similar in concept to the latter. The concept art seems to indicate that this attraction will entirely replace the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island attractions.
    • Disney Starlight, a new night-time parade, premiers Summer of 2025.
  • Animal Kingdom

    • Tropical Americas Land to replace Dinoland USA (concept art here), set to open in 2027, with at least two new attractions planned:
    • An Indiana Jones ride, which will replace the Dinosaur ride. Seems to re-use the existing ride vehicles and looks similar to Indiana Jones Adventure, but "will be an all-new adventure, unlike any of the existing Indy attractions around the world."
    • An Encanto dark-ride that "takes place inside Casita on the day after young Antonio receives his gift of communicating with animals."
  • Hollywood Studios

    • Monsters, Inc Land to be added, which will feature "the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney Park."

A very candid look at the development of the "BDX Droids" that were play-tested at Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland late last year. Thought it was really interesting and fun!
