“While Smith’s apologies seem sincere, it feels a bit peculiar that he’s had to do eternal penance ... while men who’ve done far worse are being defended and showered with forgiveness after showing little to no remorse.”

Manchin will never get with the program. But it is highly unlikely that he would lose a primary to a progressive Democrat and that progressive Democrat would win West Virginia. The best thing to do is stop saying his name, let him collect his oil and coal money, and be happy that he has a D after his name. Because he…

Waititi has spoken. There is not more to be said.

Tiamat is too small in relation to the minis. A much larger version would be better.

First they came for the Banana Splits and you thought it was funny...

Never say never. Every slow, tiny step forward was something someone said would never happen.

Maybe the original dude hasn’t directed in a while, so they decide to go with someone new. Maybe someone who isn’t the same old corporate white dude type who has only produced a lot of musical television. Ahhhh, nope.

We aren’t there. But social media influence is priming the generations to accept the AI overlords.

6-10 is definitely the sweet spot for kids at Disney. They’ll remember it, and they can hold themselves together pretty well. Whatever you choose, make sure you find out what’s important to them. I thought my kids would love to meet the characters. They loved spotting them, but then wanted to move on to the rides.…

They know that control of Congress is slipping away. Even in elections where they gain something, they see that the tide is turning. That’s why they went all in on gerrymandering and obstruction back in 2010. That’s why they went all in on voter suppression and election interference in 2016. That’s why they attempted…

Candidates still have stump speeches that are the same so that they can get their message to people. Walker has it because he has to be rehearsed so much that he can’t even go on an interview without another person to hold his hand through it and jump in when he loses track of what’s going on.

If you don’t like amusement park rides, you’ll definitely not like it. Also, their best coasters and rides don’t match Six Flags or Universal Studios for thrills. So it’s definitely not for everyone.

Not any more, unless they changed it since July. They charged us $25/day. 

Actually, it’s much better. As was explained in the video link below, if you treat genie plus as a way to get exactly the ride you want, you’ll be disappointed. If you treat it like a slot machine that always gives you something, and sometimes you hit the jackpot, you’ll have a better time. We used it one night and…

I have mixed emotions about the extra fee. On the one hand, it sucks. On the other hand, I would likely not have gotten a chance to ride The Guardians of the Galaxy ride otherwise. You either get ridiculously lucky on the genie app, pay, or wait three hours for those rides. I was fully prepared not to do Guardians and…

Imagine if we could just go to one world time. Everyone on Zulu time basically. No need to figure out what time it is on the other side of the world, or another side of an imaginary line.

“I’m almost as dumb as Kyrie, but just almost.”

Disney hotels were nearly always more expensive, because you could easily get to the parks. And park tickets were more expensive than other amusement parks. But you paid those two big expenses and that was the main difference in a Disney vacation. Sure, food and souvenirs and such. But you’re buying those on vacation…

It’s true. They could triple the price and people would still fill the parks. But pricing out people from visiting the parks can also have the effect of lowering interest in Disney overall. I have one friend who (before this) realized he probably wouldn’t be able to afford taking his kids to Disney, so he avoided…

People still have to fly sometimes. There are other places to go on vacation.
