I didn't tweet, will I Blue Sky?
I'm voting for the better movie but really want to vote for the better WDW attraction.
Hint hint, Josh. Things have changed since you last did that bracket

Today in the second round of the Walt Disney Animation Studios bracket, we just may have to part ways with a trio of lovable birds, because they’re facing off against a pretty tough customer.

I'm honestly shocked either of these made it through the first round. I'm vote for Patrick Warburton.
Today in the second round of the Walt Disney Animation Studios bracket, two unlikely friends face off against…well, two unlikely friends. But I kinda think the more recent story has a hoof up here.

This sucks so much. By far my favorite baseball podcast and now I'll have quite the void. If any #RoundTableHeads have suggestions for something else please let me know.
Thanks to the listeners who have followed along with Grant and I these past four years. The Roundtable will not be back in 2026, and we won’t be able to do the show elsewhere. A bummer, in part because I just had so much fun talking to Grant and Sam twice a week. I’m going to miss that a great deal.
Our status has regretfully shifted to "it's complicated." The Athletic will not be bringing The Roundtable back, and we are asking for permission to yammer about baseball somewhere else. The three of us still want to do it, but ... well, it's complicated.

Here's a story about Disney, AI, & The Muppets.
We love to see The Muppets being promoted right at the top of Disney+. Disney using their immense promotional power to push the Muppets is exactly what we want.
But wait... zoom in... is that is a gloveless Miss Piggy?

It’s a sad state of affairs that we’ve all just gotten used to childish, wildly inappropriate behavior from our own president. He shares AI slop, calls reporters pigs, says a million things a day…

When @immaculategrid.com debuted more stats I had 1234 different players used (aka The Ramones Number). Since then I 1) combined my laptop and phone accounts into one and 2) made an effort to increase that total. Today I reached 2000 different players used. Thanks, Aaron Sanchez

Simba roaring and the lionesses roaring back is a top 5 moment in any movie for me. It's made me tear up since I was in my twenties.

There's a new Muppet Show special in less than a week! In honor of that I've decide to be *that guy online* and recast my favorite movie, Jurassic Park, with Muppets. I'll start with the main cast and then go back to other characters in the order they appear. It starts boring but gets better.

An animator from Dinosaurs was once on the Terrible Lizards podcast where he apologized for giving them lips. He was told that otherwise, the designs were pretty good for 2000.
Anyways Sleeping Beauty will be going very far in this tournament.
