Hey @democrats.senate.gov, don’t ever again ask me for money for your campaigns. Don’t expect me for to vote for any of you. You are feckless and weak in your opposition to this administration. My future campaign contributions and my vote will go to people who will hold the line. Go to hell.

A pitch-black cave in the Balkans is home to what appears to be the world’s largest spider web, which researchers say is a singular work of cooperation by two usually-hostile species of spider. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/s...

Question for #Dissky: Does anyone else think the wing of Lakeshore Lodge facing Pioneer Hall’s service area is likely a bunch of false fronts? Makes me wonder if they’re going to further camouflage this area to make it look less noticeable from Fort Wilderness proper.

“We silence so much when we tear down places that are there to teach us, inspire us, humble us. Ghosts and memories drift away in the dust, the wreckage, and we are all poorer as a result.” - Patti Davis
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“The images we’ve now all seen of the East Wing being demolished are heartbreaking,” Patti Davis writes. “Over the centuries, many presidents have altered the White House, and certainly older buildings need to be updated and repaired. But this is complete destruction.”

The East Wing was where Eleanor Roosevelt walked. It was where Jacqueline Kennedy planned the Rose Garden. Now it’s all but gone.

I listened to this album over and over the summer of 1996. So many good songs on this track, but Wheels of a Dream and Back to Before got the most play.

Absolutely love this artwork. Reminds me of George Perez's cover art from @kurtbusiek.bsky.social 's run. Hopefully Marvel will release this in poster format. Love the little Ultron peaking out from behind Giant-Man's shoulder.
AVENGERS connecting covers feat. Every Avenger Ever* for issue 800! ⚡️
These will be the covers for AVENGERS #34 (legacy 800), 35, 36 — out starting in January! Covers drawn by me, colored by the great Rachelle Rosenberg (and by me a tiny bit).

Friday began back at Islands of Adventure, and Marvel Super Hero Island. If Disney ever reacquired the theme park rights to these characters for Disney World, what would Universal replace the Marvel Heroes with?

We had dinner Thursday night at the Blue Dragon. Hands down one of the best Asian restaurants I have been to (admittedly I have never been to Asia, so there’s that). Great service, great atmosphere, and great food. We had 4 appetizers and 4 entrees, and loved all of it!

Super Nintendo World. Probably the most crowded of all the lands in Epic Universe. Donkey Kong was up and down all day, so I felt fortunate to ride it. It is definitely a rough ride, surprising for a new coaster. And it brings so much kinetic energy to the land.

We went to Dark Universe during the day and also at night. It is definitely more atmospheric at night. Lots to see and do. I actually enjoyed the Curse of the Werewolf coaster, short as it was. The land would benefit from a third attraction.

Monsters Unchained is probably the best ride at any Universal Park right now. Great use of IP (Classic Monsters). Great reuse of the Hogwarts ride system (and less jerky). Great queue to set the mood. No notes. 5/5. Only ride we rode twice! (Also, how does this ride have a 15 minute queue???)

Pizza Moon is such a beautiful restaurant, and fits the theme of Celestial Park well. We came here because my goddaughter wanted pasta for lunch. The pizza was good, the salad was fresh, and the free refills on the soda were welcome on a hot day. Wish they had iced tea though.

Harry Potter and the Battle for the Ministry has an amazing queue space (look at it!), and is a marvelous ride. But Universal Operations has to figure out how to move people on to the ride faster, or build out the land with one or two more attractions ASAP. The express queue was almost an hour.

Isle of Berk is the most complete land in all of Epic Universe. One major and two minor rides, a huge play area, a major show (which we didn’t get to see because of time constraints), and so many dining and shopping options. I hope this area wins some Thea Awards next year.

Thursday we went to EPIC Universe. This is a truly beautiful park. It desperately needs more C/D ticket rides to absorb some of the demand. We had express, but most rides had over an hour wait all day. We’ll come back once they add some capacity.

A word about Velocicoaster. I am a big guy (6’2”, 250#). I struggled with the restraints at EVERY ride at Universal (which never happens at Disney), and in fact couldn’t ride Doctor Doom. But I have never felt as unsafe and afraid for my life as I did riding Velocicoaster. Never again.
