Bingo. It also sets a VERY bad precedent for future projects. I knew the defense of “it’s supposed to be that way!” would come out from the fanboys, but it still sucks to see. Hopefully the AI craze the crypto bros are pushing will crash just like the crypto and NFT garbage here soon.

It’s kind of impressive and I’m utterly fascinated by this entire debacle. The sheer amount of hubris that existed at the top of the Disney food chain to think this would be a profitable endeavor. 

Exactly, but they don’t solely cater to an extremely niche group of fans on top of being incredibly expensive. It was a hotel dedicated to LARPing Star Wars fans 24/7 who are also financial whales with a layout that didn’t exactly look like it should cost 5K a stay. It’s the perfect example of executive hubris. I look…

That’s what I’m saying. Resorts for the ultra rich are niche. Resorts that solely cater to Star Wars LARPers are niche. Resorts that cater to both of those demographics are even more niche. I mean, they didn’t even include basic hotel amenities that you come to expect like a pool, so they really can’t just convert…

I’m sure it has nothing to do with outpricing something like 90% of the population. 

It’s weird. It looks like he owns the building still but either lost the business itself or sold it off or something? I’m really curious what the fuck his dispute with the place was, though. It sounds like he was just trying to destroy the place for the lulz. 

Hey, now. There are plenty of other things we could mock her for. The narcissism, the manipulative personality, the slander...

She apparently had to change the headline. I wonder why? Tonja over on The Root is willing to die on this dumbass hill, it seems.

Yup. I went over to the article worried I was going to have to hate another person I really like and then went, “oh, that’s it? Let’s check out the comments on this one. Oh. Ohhhhhh...”

IIRC, she actually talked about this in an interview years back and expressed a lot of embarrassment over the thing. So... AV Club is sooper late to the party. 

Yeah, this seems like a dumb hill for the former Gawker folks to die on.

This is probably one of worst articles I’ve read in a long time. Just... bonkers. 

That’s just the normal reaction a person should have. 

The anti-science reactionary racists of Jezebel are the reason I stick to every site but Jezebel. 

Twitter has been fun. Seeing the usual nutbags try and claim the driver is totally someone from a blue state who did this in Florida for... reasons. 

Edit: Jesus, I just saw how I used “they’re.” Fuck me. 

Three deputies have also already resigned, which means they know they fucked up and they’re trying to protect they’re asses as much as they can. 

I used to work at our local Wal-Mart in sporting goods while I was in college and encountered no end of racist shitbags from Michigan. I live in middle TN and it more than a few were pretty open while buying ammo or fishing stuff that they moved down here to get away from “those people.”

Edit: Wrong person.
