MK ticket price increase: is it justified?

Have park offerings increased enough in the past 10 years (when single-day tickets first crossed the $100 mark) to justify doubling in price? I would need to make a detailed list of changes to answer more thoughtfully, but my gut says no.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I keep seeing this trend of parents making play date "business cards" for their young kids to hand out to friends, with the parent's phone #, because their kids don't have their own phones. And I'm like, that's cute, but why is it necessary? Before cell phones, you'd just tell your friend your #.

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not. “Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

Nope. Votes aren't love letters. Voting is the CIVIC DUTY of every citizen of a democratic republic, to show up and cast their vote for whichever one of the two viable options presented will govern better going forward. If you need to be "inspired" to vote, you're over-privileged at best.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

If EPCOT Center opened in 2025 with the same original ethos and ideals - and no corporate IP mandates - what would it look like? What would you want to see? (I know we all love what we had from 1982-the mid 90s, but I'm asking what those concepts would be if designed in the modern world.)

RIP Jane Goodall. The primatologist visited Animal Kingdom before its opening and asked if any chimpanzee carvings were on the Tree of Life. There were none, but Imagineers addressed that by adding a large sculpture of David Greybeard. Goodall studied Greybeard for many years.

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

a picture from an old Clifford book. Clifford is much smaller than usual, implying he is baby. he is holding a brown paper bag in his mouth and is covered in a sheet with eye holes. it is obvious he is trick or treating. his tail has action lines around it, indicating he is rather excited for both the tricks and the treats
