That could be arranged?

As a summary, is she a Type I charlatan or a Type II charlatan? (Type I somewhat sincerely believe in their own special powers at first, while Type II are out-and-out frauds)

I could bring a guitar and play Pink Pony Club as a marching band of one?

Cheap, that's the word. I haven't ridden it yet but I always thought the Zamperla trains looked cheap. Plastic toy vehicles, not built for extreme speeds at all. SBF Visa spinner vibes.

Nobody:
Media:
Was it a trans person?
Are you sure it wasn't a trans person?
Seriously, it was a trans person, right?
But surely he was dating a trans person?
Maybe his neighbour's second cousin's goldfishes' nephew was a trans person?
It was a trans person, everybody. Somehow.

Sorry I can't come to work today, it's too cold for molecules to move.

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

By the whiskers of Kûrvi-Tasch! It used to be some kind of ironic hipster thing to grow a 'stache - not to mention a bit of a gay statement - and now Joe Normie is doing it all willy nilly. It feels strangely appropriative. Follow me for more hot fashion takes.

What I found for "parafiction" looks very academic and not particularly close to what you mean. www.vpal.harvard.edu/parafiction-...

Parafiction: What Contemporary Art Can Teach Us About Post-Truth Ways of Knowing

Art historian Carrie Lambert-Beatty defines parafiction as an emergent genre of artwork that plays in the overlap between fact and fiction. In other words what do we understand and experience from art...

This animal is to a wild python what a chihuahua is to a wolf. Maybe not quite that dramatic... but it shows that this park is perhaps a bit less interested in showing the natural world in an authentic way.

Nobody gets mad when clownfish change their gender. You shouldn't get mad when people do it.

That's some sort of fancy pattern morph of reticulated python (I don't know the exact one, I'm not deep into retics). Showing animals as they look in the wild clearly isn't a priority here. Not a condemnation, just an observation.

This New England version wasn't extensively themed either, but it played the Superman theme song on the lift which added a lot of hype!

Gemma Hazeborg @gemmachaos.bsky.social · Aug 24

The Maryland version is more similar to the Darien Lake version than this one. I think Six Flags America is due to close soon, so the Darien Lake version might soon be the only one of that ilk left.

Six Flags parks have a mixed reputation, but I don't think I could have wished for a nicer day. Six Flags New England was cozy, the staff were nice and the standout rides were absolutely fantastic. A quality regional park with some world-class rides that were willing to exceed my expectations.

It was getting late and much more busy. We gave Wicked Cylone another go and then headed for the exit, passing by the classic carousel.

Mother, can we go to the Efteling? No, we have an Efteling at home.
