DeSantis’ name was mentioned in 50 states yesterday and today. Mission accomplished. This will be thrown out because the State doesn’t have the authority to dissolve a special district. There are dozens and dozens of special districts (water control, mosquito control, Everglades, etc.) and DeSantis thought he could…

I’m also in the ‘Disney are Dicks’ camp. I’d usually have a hard time rooting for anyone in this story. But I really liked Moana. And I really dislike, maybe even hate, Ron DeSantis. So this one’s an easy call
“Quite frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney’s not popping champagne in the backroom somewhere,” Randolph said. “I’m not so sure how this punishes Disney.”
Maintaining infrastructure costs money and resources. Permitting construction projects costs money and resources. Disney bears those costs right now and allows the counties to concentrate on non-Disney things. Basically, Disney pays for efficiency. They don’t need to wait in line to get a permit for a new hotel or get…
Posturing is what the GOP does best!
You’re talking long term consequences. None of these fuckwit culture warriors care about the long term, any more than they care about The Children, The Bible, etc.
I understand that this isn’t final until the residents of the special district vote on it / accept it…which will never happen. So, this is just posturing?
I think that 2200 - 2800 figure only applies to Orange and Osseola counties (where disney is located) and not all of Florida, since Orange/Osseola will have to take on the special district’s debt and take over servicing of Reedy Creek. If it does happen, Florida may try to reduce the impact on those counties by…
Big Homophobia? How about Big Bestiality?
That’s not even subtext, by the way; DeSantis literally said he was retaliating today because Disney was “injecting sexuality into the programming that is provided to our youngest kids,” i.e., acknowledging that gay people, like the families of many of those youngest kids, actually exist.
I watched it, and probably will next season, and it was... fine. Something seemed lacking in the writing. The downstairs crew never got anywhere near as much to do with the drama as the Downton Abbey crew. The upstairs drama lacked teeth. I am setting out to crush you, rival businessman, and look, I just did, the end;…
Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan played cousins, not sisters, in Mary, Queen of Scots. Although since there were about 10 girls names in use back then, there are quite a few Marys to mix up.
Elizabeth is such a fascinating person. Essentially a prodigy, who only survived to adulthood through almost miraculous luck. I’d like to see her early years too.
As a sidenote, I was actually thinking on the Tudors TV show recently again and there’s this one aspect of that show that I have never been able to understand. If anyone knows of an interview that explains it, I would be truly grateful.
To be honest, I actually this is a really good period of time to focus on and has a lot of really intriguing stories to Elizabeth’s rise to become one of the most iconic monarchs in Western history. Edward’s reign, Jane Eyre’s nine days on the throne and of course Queen Mary. With especially that last being such a…
I’m not the biggest fan of the microwave, but as you pointed out, this is basically steaming the fish and steaming is a perfectly cromulent way to cook salmon or other fish.

That’s quite a turnaround for members of a band that held concerts in support of Jimmy Carter’s campaign.
As a Floridian...I hate him so much. I sincerely hope we get either a Dem in that office (or a least a different Rep)
