NEW: Our 'unpopular opinion' is that this is a positive change for paying guests. Backlash seems largely due to confusion or frustration by those who were exploiting a hack that Walt Disney World is closing. If anything, more rules like this are needed. https://t.co/1TpIZp5WDY
My personal favorite roller coaster, Verbolten at @BuschGardensVA, has re-opened after a multi-million dollar reimagining. And friends, I fear that I must tell you the truth: I think the ride is... worse? 😖 This is a tough one for me. https://t.co/eK0trgrFvU
My hottest Disney take is that Walt actually built Disneyland for himself specifically because normal parks (Griffith Park specifically) primarily catered to children and Walt wanted a park where he could play also. In most of his photos at Disneyland he’s there without his daughters. Walt built it for the adults
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger responds to Donald Trump’s rant about her:
“[…] if they don't flood the zone with fake news about fake taxes, people might hear about the bills I am signing to lower energy costs, strengthen our schools, make housing more affordable, and bring billions of dollars of business investment to Virginia.”
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
I was born in 1961 too.
And this version of the past is a myth.
Kids did have food allergies we just didn’t have the science to name them.
I lost a brother before he was two because medicine didn’t yet understand what allergy killed him.
Trans kids didn’t “not exist.”
They hid. They were shamed. Many never survived adolescence.
Violence didn’t start with social media.
Bullying, racism, misogyny, and abuse were simply normalized and ignored.
Families didn’t stay together because things were better
they stayed together because women and children had fewer choices.
And no, it wasn’t just “Merry Christmas.”
We said Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. Yuletide.
Nobody lost their mind. Nobody felt threatened. We just… lived.
I rode buses and subways too
they weren’t magically safer.
We just didn’t talk about what happened on them.
What really changed wasn’t people.
It was visibility.
Data replaced denial.
Voices replaced silence.
And accountability replaced nostalgia.
The past wasn’t safer.
It was quieter because suffering had nowhere to go.
I don’t want a time machine.
I want a future where we stop confusing silence with peace.
Stop being such a boomer.
We lost Adam the Woo today.
He was the best of us. Always kind. Incredibly generous. People don’t know how much he was there for every one of us.
He opened himself up to everyone. Not just in his videos, sharing his entire life, but on a personal level as well.
I’m humbled by the thought that I was able to call him a friend. More than that, he was family.
I love you Adam. I miss you.
EVERYONE, for the next 45 minutes, a generous donor has agreed to match everyone’s donations up to $5000!

you ever notice how conservatives are always using generative AI for their propaganda because they're only ever mad at scenarios that are either so outlandish or just don't even exist at all
Please remember this when you say that “genuinely disabled” people don’t have to worry about Medicaid cuts or only “scammers” will lose food assistance.
That’s not how it works. It’s propaganda and you’ve fallen for it.
