Would anyone be be surprised if Reedy Creek was resurrected in some way post-DeSantis? I would. DeSantis will eventually be term-limited out, but the Florida legislature has been controlled by Republicans for 25 years, and it's not even close (Rs currently have more than a 2-to-1 majority over Ds i...

I just want to know if he hides this batshit craziness in his every day life or is it like a, “He’s a hell of a lawyer, great legal mind, but don’t talk about anything other than work with the guy.” type of vibe.

Disney now has an agreement with the great state of Florida assuring Reedy Creek's raison d'être is realized through the rest of DeSantis' time in office without having to incur the operational costs. With zero dead British monarchs. Also neat is the two new board members are not merely less hostil...

Cars & Bikes, Driving & Riding
Those of you with kids that aren't driving yet might want to consider that it's way, way harder to text or TikTok and drive when driving requires using both hands to steer and shift.

I'm more just dunking on all of the internet lawyers who thought that of course Disney would win. And I do think this should be a lesson for all of the lefties who hate those big nasty rich corporations but love it when the government does stuff.

It sounds like Disney did get some minor concessions, such as the new board agreeing not to “prohibit or impede” long-term environmental permits that had previously been granted to Disney, but this was mostly a Flordia / DeSantis win and a Disney loss.

So they settled? Disney got what it wanted while keeping the board? What are the details of the settlement? Disney did not get what it wanted. It wanted its "King Charles" contract to hold up where the new, DeSantis-appointed board basically had no power. The "King Charles" contract is null and voi...

I need a TL:DR of this whole Disney thing. Seems like a whole bunch of time/money/energy wasted and nothing really changes. The DeSantis administration in Florida got mad at Disney for being woke and for opposing the law that opponents have very inaccurately labeled the "Don't Say Gay" law. So Flor...

Does anyone have any concrete plans for a viewing location? My plan is pretty much to drive up 79, get off maybe somewhere around Edinboro or so, and head out into the country to find a road where I can just pull over.

Did Disney get to keep control of Reedy Creek? Did it get to keep that last-minute "Development Agreement" it pushed through that neutered the new board "until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, King of England, living as of the date of this declara...

The manual transmission was a tremendous technological improvement over its predecessor, which would have been "no transmission." Because manuals predated automatics by decades. The first mass-produced automatic (GM's Hydramatic) didn't come along until 1939. Huh, TIL that Ford bought Hydramatic tra...

Sort of a back in my day, yes, because I learned on a manual (taught by my mother, who like my grandma also drove only manuals, ya nancy boys), and the first car I drove was a manual.
