Just finished a fantastic conversation with @josh-bailey.bsky.social about his excellent new film STOLEN KINGDOM. It is absolutely wild to watch a documentary film about stuff that I covered as news five years ago. www.cinemablend.com/news/2483319...

Imagine having a billion dollars and using to dismantle democracy and not just spending all your time at theme parks.

Honestly shocked it's taken this long. Walden's lack of public appearances has made her seem less likely as the next CEO. You can bet Iger and the other candidates will be watching her performance.

It's going to be a "worst people on the internet are unjustifiably happy" sort of day.

This is the real problem with the micromanaging crap and it's the reason actually good managers don't waste their time with it. If your employees are spending their time justifying their job, they're not doing their job.

This is honestly the real issue for this movie (and many others). Snow White is probably a perfectly fine movie, and if a perfectly fine box office was all that was needed, it could be a success. But when you MUST make a billion dollars to be profitable, you're screwed if you're just "good enough."

Finally reading Cory Doctorow's DOWN AND OUT IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM which now feels weird because the Liberty Belle and Rivers of America still exist in the far future, but I choose to believe the people who took over that section of the park just converted it all back

There's a point at which listening to theme park BGM shifts from pleasantly remembering your last visit to just being frustrated you're not there now.

This is the behavior of the shittiest micromanaging sales managers I've ever had.

I know every theme park does this now, but there's something about it in a park designed specifically for young children that wigs me out.

It turns out I know far more about the likes of Logan Paul and Mr. Beast than I would have guessed and let me just say I am NOT happy about this fact.

The Evil Queen has a song in the Snow White remake. This movie is going to be BONKERS and I cannot wait.

Magic Kingdom is about to go through its most significant change since it opened over 50 years ago and I couldn't be more excited. www.cinemablend.com/theme-parks/...

My dad used to remark when filling out his ballot, "I don't even know of a parade they've been in," regarding our reps who never seemed to do anything of consequence. To all my state and federal reps: If I don't hear your name now, I'll be voting for your primary challenger

We have my daughter signed up for this program. She's three and she loves books even though she can't read them yet. It's like magic. When your base is the low information voter, it's in your best interest to keep people ignorant.

All the talk about DisneyQuest today reminded me about the real place that I wish would come back to Disney Springs (and Downtown Disney) THE VOID. the coolest VR experience of my life and I so wish I could do it again.

It's weird that in a few days, the only attraction at a domestic Disney park with a VQ is going to be World of Color.
