A handful of my favorite Disneyland Railroad photos. Offered for no particular reason - I was just thinking about how much I enjoyed making these.

Thinking about starting a business to rent out this one button for people to get into some interesting conversations at a Disney Park.
Tagging some potential customers.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.
When you hear them target any vulnerable communityβimmigrants, trans people, refugeesβask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.
republicans have literally made everything worse and harder and more terrible over the course of my entire life and somehow* they keep coming back to power bc of our feckless corporate press and a weak willed opposition π
*sob
I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.
If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

It seems hard to believe it wouldn't need repainting in the 41.5 years of Carnation Ice Cream Parlor's operation, but it does look very similar to 1955.

French Laundry chef again scolds Bay Area town over affordable housing project
lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit
What?! Signage has been removed from Carnation CafΓ©, revealing the old Carnation Ice Cream Parlor porcelain (?) sign still on the building. This sign dates from Disneylandβs opening in 1955 and has been covered over since the late 1990s. Cool that itβs still there!
Halloween night at the Tip-Top Club is one youβll never forget. These are the contents of a hotel guestβs pocketβ one that never made it back to their room on that cursed evening. Maybe they should have taken the stairs.
If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
The Trump Administration destroying all original copies of the Constitution of the United States in an aviation disaster would be laughed out of the writers room as too obvious. Right?
This is Beau. He is a textbook example of a golden retriever. They really will try to be friends with anyone. 13/10 for both (IG: beaugoesoutside)
The core of right wing governance--really the only thing it does effectively--is tormenting people
There's never anything less than 100% quality and amazing things to discover when it comes to Don Ballard's books on the original Disneyland Hotelβthis looks to be another pure gem π π π

Bear carving in front of Rushin' River Outfitters, with Grizzly River Run sign blurred in the distance, in Grizzly Peak at Disney California Adventure.
Alternate focus.
Hardly looks like a theme park.
Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.
A painting of the Tower of Tower elevator opening in a cobwebbed hotel lobby, with five ghostly apparitions inside.
"One stormy night long ago, five people stepped through the door of an elevator and into a nightmare. That door is opening once again and this time, it's opening for you."
It's actually pretty tough to get a decent Yeti shot on the Matterhorn.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

So youβre saying that a corrupt former president who abused the powers of his office can face charges, be convicted, and be held accountable?
Tell me more.
Now that the catβs out of the bag, and thereβs no way to put it back in:
I need everybody to know that yes, my last name really is Manlove, so thatβs one more point on the board for nominative determinism
This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Womenβs Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGAβs photofinish camera π

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
