Willis revealed the timetable in a letter to local law enforcement in which she asked them to be ready for “heightened security and preparedness” because she predicted her announcement “may provoke a significant public reaction.”

Between July 11 and September 1. Okay.
Possibly in Fulton County but maybe in, heck, I dunno, Tulsa?
There will be between 1 and 73 charges.
Possible statutes under which the charges may fall can be found in U.S. Code sections 1 through 597, and Georgia Code sections 2 through 434.

It's like he can't hide his general resentment of the world and dislike of being questioned, and can only react with sarcasm. I do wonder what that cut in the middle of the video is about, though, so it seems like the video has been altered at least a little to cut out something in the middle

did not think I could possibly hate this guy anymore but the way he talk about "the N-word" every single time he gets up to speak is so fucking infuriating. even as a bad South Park style joke it makes no sense!! people say "nuclear" all the time! idk just feels like with all the talk about Trump being a criminal and traitor he felt the need to remind them that he's also a racist as well

lol yeah prior to this brouhaha Disney was very persona non grata in my circle for how they treated international exchange employees during the pandemic, as well as how poorly they pay and treat their employees (when compared to Universal Studios).
but sometimes the enemy of the enemy is your friend!

I've started to realize a lot of lawyers love being on TV so maybe that's why
― frogbs, Wednesday, 26 April 2023 18:00 (one year ago) link
Neanderthal, my man: I was reflexively anti-Disney for most of my life. But in perhaps 2018, my wife and children sat me down and basically told me that there was a narrow window in which we would, collectively, be likely to enjoy a vacation in that allegedly magical place, and we needed to do it exactly then.
So I obligingly contributed something like eight thousand dollars to your local economy. (You're welcome.) We had an okay time. My children outgrew everything Disney-related. After that I didn't ever want to think about the Mouse again, and now here I am thinking about MouseCorp again. Fuck you, Ron.

I went to Disneyland when I was about five and have almost no memory of it other than the submarine ride and the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which was a little scary. I went to Disney World when I was 10 — I remember that one a little better, because EPCOT had just opened. It was fine. I enjoyed watching the Disney TV show as a kid way more than I did going to the actual parks.

All that said, I hope Disney steamrolls DeSantis until he's personally on the street shaking a cup for coins.
DeSantis seems hellbent on being the most despised politician in the country, which doesn't bode well for his political future
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 26 April 2023 20:13 (one year ago) link
In my experience, Disney World is fantastic for a child, a nightmare for an adult. It's also a perfectly tuned machine for separating parents from their money. I'll be happy if I never have to go again, although I hope I'm lucky enough to have grandchildren to take.
That said, I hope they crush this little upstart like the insect he is.

I don't count as a Floridian, I suppose, but before the pandemic we'd often go and maybe hit one park in three days, there's so much stuff to do.
For me, it's complete sensory overload, like a casino. And the rides end up making me sick after a while.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 26 April 2023 20:23 (one year ago) link
Disney is great, though I doubt I'll go again until I am a grandparent, assuming I can even afford it by then.

Epcot is far from a sensory overload experience but ymmv

I grew out of theme parks in general after a while. just a product of getting old. I'm a fiend for water rides but my friends never want to get wet. i'm like "it's 90 degrees in Florida, you'll be dry again in 20 minutes".
in my 20s, when I was mostly broke in college, my folks got me an annual pass to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, and it felt like the holy grail, like, I'd just drive there at random times because I wanted to ride a rollercoaster. then I started going there to ride the Hulk instead of going to class. i'd go with my friend and we'd spend literally all day there.
now, after four hours in a theme park, I'm already ready to tap out. it's hot, my legs get sore, and rollercoasters, though I still love them (and did the Dragster at Cedar Point before it permanently closed), I get head-aches and backaches like I never got before. Disney rides mostly don't have that problem but you'll walk a much longer distance there then at Universal. my friend does tours there for rich fams sometimes and walks like 8 miles a day.
Tron ride is top notch though, dope design and everything.

Epcot has always been my fav, since childhood.
I still miss the Kitchen Kabaret show at The Land, which featured Pita Gabriel
Last time I spent three days at Universal with my kids, by the end I was ready to die.

I still like Busch Gardens because it has animals to look at, more walking space, and involves me leaving Orlando for the day.
also appreciate the one in Williamsburg, home to the Big Bad Wolf ride from the 80s to like maybe a decade ago.
― Cthulhu Diamond Phillips (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 26 April 2023 20:37 (one year ago) link
The giant roller coaster at Busch Gardens is the only thing I remember. I enjoyed that.
Honestly, my most memorable amusement park experience was going to Action Park in NJ as a teenager. That place was a terrifying, life-in-your-hands experience. Even the documentary about it doesn't fully convey just how fucked up and thoroughly late '70s/early '80s grimy/trashy it was.

having an annual pass to Universal gets you in free to the Mardi Gras concert series, which one year featured Al Green.
