No, actually the one in CA is Sleeping Beauty Castle (also Paris and Hong Kong), Cinderella’s at WDW and Tokyo.

There are different castles at different parks? I had no idea.

  It was actually quite intentional — a desire to have the two (at the time) parks be different. Same reason why Toon Town is in Anaheim but Orlando has Toon Town Fair.
  Difficult to explain the other duplicates in that context, but there it is.

Clearly you’ve lived a deprived life! The Sleeping Beauty castles are a little shorter and squatter, especially the central turrets. And the color schemes are not the same at the different parks. I have way too much time on my hands… Time to watch some more UFO.

  Oh, I’m aware there are differences in the castles between parks. I just lose track between Anaheim and Orlando which princess owns which.
  I need to borrow your UFO DVDs some time. I have a hankering to watch that show again.

Just to make it more confusing, when the park first opened, the restaurant in Cinderella Castle was named “King Stephan’s Royal Banquet Hall”…. King Stephan was Sleeping Beauty’s father. (It’s now named Cinderella’s Gala Feast, fwiw)

  Ha! Nice.
  Irksome: half the time we were at the MK, the front doors of the castle were closed so that Big Public Things could be done on the set pieces in front of same. Basically hobbled WD’s hub concept.

Every time I think #Republican politicians can't be bigger assholes, they prove me wrong. Every single time.

Looking at you (today), #NancyMace.

"Elon Musk Criticizes Dana Carvey’s ‘SNL’ Impression, Says Show “Has Been Slowly Dying for Years”"

Is there anything so perennial, and predictable, as a thin-skinned celebrity criticizing SNL for hurting their feelings? It's almost as inevitable as people predicting the imminent demise of SNL.

The closing words of Russell's Autobiography.

I am finding them quietly inspiring.

"I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."

-- Bertrand Russell

So rather than spending the day doomscrolling, I spent much of it posting (and reposting) quotations about #elections, #voting, and presidential #character at my #quotations website.

Lucky for you, I made a consolidated post at my highly neglected blog, so you can see them all in one place.

I can only assume that half the voting public, according to polls, actually *want* things to get "nasty" for a while. Probably because they assume it will be nasty for someone else, and they are okay with that.

We've been warned.

I both loved and was deeply disturbed reading the George Stewart's " #EarthAbides " -- a thought-out and morose tale of the collapse of civilization after a 99.9% deadly plague sweeps the globe.

I won't be watching the MGM+ adaptation, though, both because that's a streaming service I don't have, and because either it will be faithful to the original (and deeply depressing), or not (and so depressing in its own way).

Meanwhile the #Trump campaign seems obsessed with getting me to donate to get one of Leon's "GOLD DARK MAGA HAT"s.

#RIP Greg Hildebrandt, who, with his brother Tim, definitively crafted what #Tolkien 's #MiddleEarth looked like prior to any hint of a Peter Jackson movie.

Thank you, sir.

So in his increasingly deranged rants on the campaign trail, Trump is now ...

1. Suggesting he'd be fine if the press at his rallies were shot.

2. Expressing pleasure that Mitch McConnell will be gone soon (nice payback for selling your soul, Mitch).

3. Clearly saying he should have refused to leave the White House in 2021, after losing the election.

That this race remains so tight is mindboggling to me. The cognitive dissonance in this country is astonishing.

So sorry to hear about the passing of #TeriGarr . While she had many nifty roles that many people enjoyed her in, my secret favorite is as the "she's not as ditzy as you think" secretary, Roberta Lincoln, in the "Assignment: Earth" episode of #StarTrekTOS

Thank you, ma'am, for many hours of entertainment. #RIP

My goal in life is simple: have a week where a headline doesn't show up starting with "Ken #Paxton sues..." (over something precious or good or just).
