There's 3 days left in the @Kickstarter for the audiobook of my upcoming anti-finance finance thriller about #SiliconValley scams, *Red Team Blues*. #Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they're #DRM free. Crowdfunding makes them possible!

La guerre froide #Floride vs. #Disney vire à l'affrontement total avec la possible dissolution du #ReedyCreekImprovementDistrict. Mais qu'est-ce que le #RCID ? Quels sont les enjeux de ce bras de fer ? Je vous ai préparé un petit #thread... 1/15
#Disneyland (Californie) a été bâti au milieu des orangers. Mais le développement anarchique d'Anaheim et ses laideurs ont bien vite rattrapé puis cerné le parc. #Walt était bien décidé à empêcher ça pour son #ProjectFlorida 2/15 ImageImage
Le #ProjectFlorida - futur #WaltDisneyWorld - est annoncé en 1965, un an avant la mort de #Walt : à terme, ce serait une "vraie" ville avec ses parcs à thèmes et aquatiques, ses entreprises, commerces et maisons etc. La maîtrise du foncier se révèle donc primordiale. 3/15 ImageImageImageImage

The Jungle Cruise ride at #Disneyland developed a reputation for racist depictions of Indigenous people as tourist attractions, attackers or cannibals — tribal caricatures crafted through a colonialist lens.

The updated ride changes that.

latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
The ride reopened Friday with updates that remove, in Disney’s words, “negative depictions of native people.”

No other attraction that has stood as long has been under the sort of evolutions that directly speak to the park’s past, its present & future.

latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
The long-overdue course correction for the #JungleCruise shifts the show to nature, the elements and the peril that awaits man when he tries to tame it — with puns aplenty.

Gone are racist scenes of a spear-waving war party.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is too long for California health rules limiting indoor rides.

Here's how #Disneyland is approaching the problem latimes.com/business/story…
Rey is the first woman whose journey to becoming a Jedi has been central to a “Star Wars” trilogy.

But our data shows she’s played a smaller part in her story than Luke and Anakin Skywalker did in theirs.

Now, with a slew of coronavirus safety adjustments, the Anaheim #Disneyland parks are finally welcoming back their fans #disneylandopening (📸 @rgaut999) latimes.com/business/story… ImageImageImageImage
In the 66-year history of #Disneyland, the theme park has been shut for extreme circumstances only a few times — President Kennedy's assassination, for example — but before the pandemic in March 2020, none of those closures lasted longer than one day latimes.com/business/story…
But it's finally back (with some precautions):

#Disneyland park attendance is capped at 25 percent capacity
• Guests and employees must wear masks
• People who don’t live together must maintain physical distancing in queues, and more latimes.com/business/story…

With #Disneyland and Disney #CaliforniaAdventure reopening on April 30 and ticket sales starting next week, prospective park visitors are wondering what to expect there.

#COVID_19 safety protocols will represent the biggest changes.

latimes.com/business/story…
Some of the rides and attractions at the #Anaheim theme parks will still be shut down when they reopen.

Here’s a thread of some rides that will be available at Disneyland when it opens its gates to visitors.

Astro Orbitor

The ride was the centerpiece of Tomorrowland when the park retrofitted the section in 1996.

On the Astro Orbitor, guests sail speeding starships through a galaxy of whirling orbs, planets and astrolabes.

Time for an adventure set in my #Disneyland RPG, where the kingdom has been taken over by the Disney Villains.

First we need a protagonist! No one famous, or even particularly heroic, just a small someone doing their best to survive these dark days.

Someone like...
2. As one of the feral cats of #Disneyland, your life hasn't changed TOO much since the Villains take over. You leave them alone; they leave you alone. Meow meow.

This neverending thunderstorm has been QUITE bothersome, though, and you've had to seek shelter... but where?
3. The Skyway station is (relatively) warm and dry, and has been abandoned for so long that few in #Disneyland even remember it exists. Thus, the perfect place for a cat to nap.

Until tonight. Your rest is interrupted by someone ascending the stairs. You open one eye, and spy...

Like most of us in here in #QuarentineLife I've got a lot of extra time on my hands. So I decided to make a thread highlighting the failure, ineptitude, stupidity, and hypocrisy of #Trump and his executive branch in regard to the #COVID19 pandemic
January 18th Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar attempts to speak with Trump about the virus but Trump does not listen and interjects, asking about vaping and when certain flavored vaping products will be back on the market.

Jan 22nd Trump said “We have it totally under control.” On January 30th Trump said that “we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us.” Also stated that he trusts President Xi.

We are taking the kids to Disneyland today and they don’t know: a thread. (They don’t read Twitter. Because they still have hope and self-esteem.)
We thought they had figured it out, but now I think they haven’t.
Addendum: Henry Leo know. We told him a few days ago because dude does NOT like surprises. Tallulah Louise and Taba Bendis do not know.

Hezbollah in Lebanon: US hegemony is over ejmagnier.com/2018/11/21/hez…
#Uk and #Germany have held secret meetings with #Hezbollah leaders during the visits of their official delegations to Beirut.

In #Iraq, #ISIS grew under the watchful and complaisant eyes of the #US establishment that considered ISIS a strategic asset, oblivious to how this unscrupulous policy would backfire against its interests in the Middle East.
