Strawberry is"the pink" and that's fine, but chocolate is most certainly not "the stink."

I love this. Thanks for sharing it.

I wanted to print a copy, and I went looking for the highest-res copy I could find. I couldn't access the larger image in the dc.com article you linked, but in case anyone else is interested, I found two at 2750 x 3778:

I kinda can't understand Yang going all-in on this... Who would want to associate themself with "the Nazi salute guy?"

On the other hand, there's a certain authenticity that comes from knowing he came up with the slogan himself (because there's no way that any AI -- even grok -- would generate something so tepid and transparent).

Feels like we could have saved our perpetually-strained justice system a lot of ass-ache by just... Sentencing these motherfuckers properly the first time.

Trumponomics makes all this tricky math and policy shit so easy to understand!

He's got an extensive history of lying about (among so many things) what so-and-so told him in a private meeting, only to be called out and contradicted by that very person the following day.

Throw another one on the pile, most likely.

I used to be against it, then my PC died in the early COVID days and the only (practical) way I could get a future-proofed replacement was to get a pre-built, and they all had RGB.

From there, though, it grew on me. Like so many other things I enjoy about working with computers, the learning process was just super enjoyable for me.

I read about different standards (RGB vs aRGB, 3 pins vs 4 pins, this module or that one, this software vs that), tried a few things, and got it looking like I wanted. Now I'm using OpenRGB to make my own patterns that match the room or the weather or whatever wallpaper I've got. Turning understanding into control and self-expression just feels good man.

Can't wait to hear the water cooler discourse regarding the legal/moral implications of this novel new internet fad called "rule 34."

 
 

D23 is a biannual event where Disney reveals their plans for parks, media, and other entertainment. D23 2024 took place this past weekend, and there were a lot of big announcements. In an effort to draw contrast with previous D23 events which included some highly speculative plans, Disney Experiences Chairmen Josh D'Amaro prefaced the Imagineering project announcements by saying:

“Everything we share here tonight is in active development. This isn’t Blue Sky. We’re doing all of it.”

I haven't found a singular, concise list of all the announcements in one place, so I'm trying to compile it all here. Please chime in if you see I missed anything, or if you're particularly hyped (or particularly not hyped) about any of these announcements!

Parks

  • Magic Kingdom

    • Villians-themed land to be added, adjacent to Frontierland. There's some concept art and "two new attractions planned as well as dining, shopping and more."
    • Two Cars attractions to be added in Frontierland. There's some concept art for that as well. Not a mirror of the existing Cars Land or Radiator Springs Racers, but similar in concept to the latter. The concept art seems to indicate that this attraction will entirely replace the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island attractions.
    • Disney Starlight, a new night-time parade, premiers Summer of 2025.
  • Animal Kingdom

    • Tropical Americas Land to replace Dinoland USA (concept art here), set to open in 2027, with at least two new attractions planned:
    • An Indiana Jones ride, which will replace the Dinosaur ride. Seems to re-use the existing ride vehicles and looks similar to Indiana Jones Adventure, but "will be an all-new adventure, unlike any of the existing Indy attractions around the world."
    • An Encanto dark-ride that "takes place inside Casita on the day after young Antonio receives his gift of communicating with animals."
  • Hollywood Studios

    • Monsters, Inc Land to be added, which will feature "the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney Park."

A very candid look at the development of the "BDX Droids" that were play-tested at Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland late last year. Thought it was really interesting and fun!
