This is something that travel hackers and churners have been doing with some regularity for a while, but lolol at the idea that normal people can/will do this and will understand the risks involved on almost 0 notice 🙃 apnews.com/article/gove...

Yes, those are definitely the four most consequential things that Disney has done since 1955. I can't think of anything else remotely worthy of mention or signifying "reinvention" between then and now.

Found this in the discontinued/clearance section of the grocery store. Not sure why “coffee made with the mushrooms that turn people into gruesome zombies in the hit show!” wasn’t a winning marketing strategy 😅

Man. You know you’ve really, really, *really* hit rock bottom when Ted Cruz - someone who is almost universally disliked even among people who share his political views - says that you “need a friend.” Lolol

Call me crazy but I am very confident that on opening day - heck, opening week - people would stay until at least 10 if not 11.
UO apparently thinks some guests are willing to stay that late... Just the ones at IoA instead of Epic on Epic's opening day? Not sure how that makes sense.

Brutal. I know Southwest shareholders have been unhappy that they feel like Southwest is lagging the legacy US airlines on leisure revenue, but not sure that jettisoning everything that makes Southwest Southwest is the solution. Why choose Southwest over Delta, AA, United, etc now?

Serious question - did he get this idea from American Express' charge cards product line?
If he announces a Platinum card that costs $10 million but comes with monthly rebates at Walmart and Fox News after this we'll know for sure.

Happened to be in Lakeland today and stopped by the Lakeland Antique Mall. Was not expecting to find so many WDW and UO props for sale.

Agree 110% with this statement from McConnell. Man, if only someone had been in a position ~4 years ago to prevent the person who nominated Hegseth from ever running for president again. Sure would’ve been nice to have someone who took seriously that responsibility then. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

This is the most relevant (not to mention obviously correct) framing of the TikTok situation that too many in the media/commentariat are missing completely. If TikTok were a business they’d just sell. TikTok isn’t doing that vecause TikTok doesn’t exist to profit. www.thebulwark.com/p/can-we-ban...
