@culturaltutor Just a note— one of your images of the Futurama is actually an image of another attraction at the ‘39 fair—the “Democracity” theme pavilion that had another model of a city of the future.

@internetalena Yes— I’m an Architect, and I use Uni-Ball Vision for everything. Just the right juiciness on all paper types, and no leakage on planes. Willing to be a paid spokesperson @UniBall_USA

@baddantakes Tried it once— driver just went to his parents house and said hi to his dad mowing the lawn…

@rickdank_o Try to hang on…

[Scott Specht @scottspecht]

@rickdank_o C’mon— let’s throw this into chaos. Walk Between the Raindrops FTW…

[Scott Specht @scottspecht]

@rickdank_o Whelp… so much for that deep cut…

[Scott Specht @scottspecht]

@rickdank_o I hope you have a few of the one-offs in here. Century’s End is a great song (although unlikely to win).

@waitbutwhy Not to mention the appearance /sound had changed to the point where the 1950’s were an alien period that evoked strong nostalgia. Yes, smartphones are a huge change too, but the speed of obvious visual and cultural changes were at their max in the early / mid part of the century

[Scott Specht @scottspecht]

@waitbutwhy In brief- When “Grease” was released on Broadway in 1972, it was basically looking back at the mid 1950’s (20 years) as a wildly retro period. During that time attitudes toward race, sex, sexuality, politics, American status in the world, etc were radically changed

@RaxKingIsDead Last night in ABQ…

@TylerG1998 We both share this birthday! The broadcast of the launch of Apollo 4 is incredible— with Walter Cronkite holding up the giant plate glass window facing the Saturn and the ceiling falling in…

@nathaliejacoby1 @joncoopertweets The confederate flag is an obvious one, but more insidious is the co-opting of the US flag by extremists. There is a movement to do something about it. Check out https://t.co/kss4awiKB0

@TangaroaJoel They would be like a continuous parade of motion and light and sound without all the safety and structure and guest-handling concerns (and cheap!)

[Scott Specht @scottspecht]

@TangaroaJoel An idea: since the peoplemover was much more about the kinetic visual excitement of the land rather than the ride experience, how about running a whole series of lightweight non-occupied “futuristic” vehicles on the track?

@who_shot_jgr Privatizing all roads will be even wilder. Toll booths every 300 feet…

@BustletonAuto Symmetry is so overrated.
