WDW killing off the Rivers of America is an absolute tragedy.... As always, @foxxnolte.bsky.social nails it here: www.micechat.com/410096-magic...

"...the little things that didn’t need to be there but were wonderful when you found them." Yet, I feel that so much of Disney's general success and online culture right now is based on this. Foxx's personal stories here are palpable, and the loss of it has set in more and more.

TODAY. There's still time to join us for LIVE DEAD, a #booktalk with JOHN BRACKETT & DAVID GANS on the Grateful Dead’s legacy through live recordings. 🎸 🕚 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET 📍 ONLINE 🎟️ www.eventbrite.com/e/1289972294... #music #gratefuldead #livemusic #InternetArchive #AuthorsAlliance

Absolutely unacceptable. This will cut so many good jobs in Houston and beyond. We all know that NASA, and the contractors that support it, fuels new innovation. We must have *bipartisan* outrage against this to quickly remove these bad cuts from Trump’s disastrous budget!

New Orleans Square is honestly my favorite land at Disneyland, even with all the questionable changes made over the past 15-20 years.

Video/music editing is a skill I can put on my resumé, right? I’m curious because I’ve seen conflicting info. I’m not primarily an editor, but I figure it can’t hurt.

What was the highlight of your day? What are you grateful for?

We have been robbed as a society of treasures

As a current library director and a librarian for over 30 years, this will devastate public libraries. My system uses these funds for computer replacements, youth programming, and databases for residents. It’s also library construction funds. This is important.

A trivial social error has been greatly exacerbated by an autistic person’s unnecessary apology for it, sources have claimed. www.patreon.com/posts/123134...

1972—my favorite Disney Annual Report cover. Brilliant in its understated simplicity with this stunning shot by #GaryKrueger. A time when Disney understood the timeless values of harmony, restraint and subtlety.

Hey @lego-group.bsky.social, this was great.... ... but can we get a set for the WDW mansion too? (example shown is a MOC, it can be done!)

I ain’t giving up on this country, even with all this scary shit.

The thing about standing up to Trump is that more people who have power should be doing it, because he often (if not always) folds like a cheap suit when confronted.

Basically the restroom wallpaper of every local dive I’ve visited.

My brick inscription for Rod Serling statue, Binghamton NY, is based on Prof. Fowler’s words in THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD "I was an abject, dismal failure. I moved nobody. I motivated nobody. I left no imprint on anybody” HE MOVED US. MOTIVATED US. LEFT AN IMPRINT ON US. @anneserling.bsky.social

the mood today

The world we live in where "have mercy on the weak and vulnerable" is sneered at as hate.

This, too...

It should be not be a crime to be trans. People have a right to be who they are. Gender shouldn’t be just a men and a woman. That’s a completely ignorant and it saddens me people even think that being trans is a crime. It’s not. Be ignorant all you want, I’ll continue to support my trans moots.

Just saying it. Elon is an embarrassment to autistic men everywhere.

It’s a buy ✅

Just learned about the extinct media museum in Tokyo and their motto doesn't mess about: All media but paper and stone will become extinct

"Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours." —Hermann Hesse 📸 Max Saeling on Unsplash

As usual, a very insightful take from Joe Rohde.

We need to replace slop with soul.

The 90s felt like the golden age of retail

It’s inexcusable and honestly this adds to my grievances with Disney. Believe me, I hate having any qualms with Disney. After all, we’re talking about something formative and meaningful for me and it’s been corrupted to this point. It’s not good and it’s very concerning.

Today is an awful day for horror from the awful Haunted Mansion news to the death of the legendary David Lynch.

Definitely concerning.

The 50th anniversary of Space Mountain/Carousel of Progress’ grand opening at Walt Disney World. Here’s hoping it’ll live to see another fifty.

Happy 50th to Space Mountain!!!!!!

Willful ignorance is a non-sectarian disease.

So during the heights of the pandemic, one source of comfort was "it's a small world." When all the parks around the world were shuttered and everything about COVID was largely still unknown, a department store clock by me still put on a little show once an hour, a remnant of when the store was a

At least 11 librarians in LA lost their homes in the LA Fires. A thread of their gofundmes:

While technically the grand opening did happen in January 1975, Space Mountain had been opened to guests a couple days after Christmas 1974.

Such a loss. I’ll miss it as well.
