@rckafire This poster is from a brief period of time when the park was called Disney’s Wild Animal Kingdom. I did the original color comp sketch… I believe this is the work of another artist based on my sketch.
when we saw "One Battle After Another" in a (largely empty, cavernous) theater south of New Brunswick the trailers & ads were pitched at eardrum-breaking volume; the film itself, with its so-carefully selected music, was loud enough at times to force us to clamp our hands over our ears. excellent film but many distractions in a movie house.
JD Vance identifying himself as part of "the postliberal right" and saying, "there is no meaningful distinction between the public and the private sector in the American regime" at a May 2023 ISI event with his friends Patrick Deneen & Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts:
Perfect example of how the sudden importance of this case arises just at a time with attention is going where people don’t want it. Who is distracting who?
Levin: For those of you obsessed with the Epstein case, you are the ones distracting us from the Obama Hilary case. I do not know what your endgame is but I know what my endgame is here and that is justice
For months, the U.S. economy appeared to be weathering the disruptive effects of President Donald Trump’s trade and immigration policies.
But over the course of 72 hours, that sunny outlook darkened. https://t.co/obnYKYrhK9
The economy is on the precipice of recession. That’s the clear takeaway from last week’s economic data dump. Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue.
The US economy, once the envy of the world, quickly ground to a halt in a matter of months after Trump took office. It was a predictable outcome, as economists and experts had warned that enacting broad tariffs would lead to job losses and increased inflation.
What is shocking is that, according to 2024 exit polls, the top issue for Trump voters was the economy.
There is nothing about Trump's history that suggests he understands economics. His wealth, aside from the crypto bribes and money he earned from selling subpar, often tacky, products to his supporters, was inherited. Trump's list of failed businesses fills an entire page, and he was convicted of falsifying business records 34 times. His last presidency was marked by the decline of manufacturing in the US, a loss of total jobs, growing income inequality, and rapidly rising debt.
So why did so many people vote for Trump if they wanted a better economy? They've been repeatedly lied to.

Gosh, if only there were a way to store that electrical power. Perhaps a container made of electrochemical cells, with electrodes anodes and cathodes and an electrolyte medium…could that work?
Thiessen: Just so people understand wind and solar only work when there is wind and sun. We don't have technology to store the energy from wind and solar…
Tonight in Harambe I noticed something I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone point out before.
I know there are some hidden characters in the seating area across from Harambe Market, but is this part of South & Southeast Asia on the outside of Tamu Tamu? @Joe_Rohde
The budget was ample enough, especially given that it was an overlay, but it needed to be spent very strategically and this was kind of an Easter egg, not, say, CGI media plus major Hollywood actors. You can have plenty money and still need to shepherd the allocation carefully
@Joe_Rohde I mean so disrespect at all as I love the ride, but I'm guessing that's why the boiler room was relatively unchanged? Surprised Disney didn't give a larger budget for what's a major attraction
Quick question @Joe_Rohde, Is Figment in Mission Breakout’s queue an original figure saves from JII 1.0 or was it a new figure fabricated specifically for Mission Breakout?
The Marine Corps unit placed on prepare-to-deploy orders for a potential mission in Los Angeles unrest is 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, defense officials say. It's an infantry unit based at Twentynine Palms, California.
