It's finally here! You can get your hands on a copy of my brand new book: Dreaming in Digital: The World of Disney Video Games. It takes a look at 50 #Disney games, beginning in 1981 through the present day. I LOVED writing this book and hope you enjoy reading it.

Man, if you aren't from the south, stepping into a Buc-ee's for the first time must be like stepping onto an alien planet in a sci-fi movie...

Starlight was such a stunning parade!

Typhoon Lagoon was a totally new experience and we absolutely loved it!

That's incredible! Thanks so much for sharing.

Would love to see that!

The clips of today's speech sounded like Frank-n-furter singing "I Can Make You a Man" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show

He'd be a lot happier if he just admitted that he really wants a muscle daddy in uniform.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Aidan's avatar is delightfully pixelated.

For no good reason that I can think of, I'm musing about defunct attractions at the Disney Parks: Kitchen Kabaret. Flying Saucers. The Timekeeper. Cranium Command. That sort of thing. Do you have a favorite Disney attraction that has been closed?

I can't count the hours I spent playing Hardball!

Took a trip to Spirit Halloween...

I started reading Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction recently. I'm sorta fascinated by the fact that apocalyptic happenings are taking place in the story, but after the initial panic everyone sorta settles into their normal mundane lives again. It's a sci-fi setting, but still believable.

Shaun Jex @makeminemusic.bsky.social · 15d

This is awesome. It's a bit far from me, so it'd be even better if you could also take a virtual tour of the exhibit.

This is the first expansive U.S. museum exhibition to examine the crossover between contemporary art and pro wrestling.

The fact that @platinummax.bandcamp.com wasn't #1 on this year's PWI 500 proves that the list is a joke. The guy literally has a notarized document declaring him the best wrestler alive. Does anyone else? Nope. Say it with me now: Let's Go Max, You're the Best Wrestler Alive!

I think what I saw was that he made $500 for it? There's also a sequel which I haven't seen yet. So, please, no spoilers.

Watched this Walt Disney rarity/oddity this evening. It's a 1922 educational silent film called Tommy Tucker's Tooth created by Disney's Laugh-O-Grams studios in Kansas City.
