Been having fun watching the vlogs of the grand opening of “Nemesis Reborn” at Alton Towers. Lots of great, creative theming and live actors giving it their all. I particularly love the sign-carrying protestors chanting. “Nemesis has feelings too! Nemesis has feelings too!” 
While I don’t quite understand Alton Towers’ obsession with filling their beautiful park with dark, forboding land themes (Gloomy Wood, Forbidden Valley, Dark Forest), this is a great example of how an attraction can be horrific and whimsical at the same time.

I went to the Plaza last week and I too was disappointed in my chicken. The pieces were okay in size but I was disappointed in the coating & fry. But there is a new grocery store in my area that has pretty amazing chicken so that might have biased me. Nice to know I wasn't the only one disappointed.

Hairdos and hemlines rise and fall over the decades, fashions come and go and come back again, but the overall aesthetic appearance of Cast Members today compared to the 20th century couldn't be more different.
Just look at the hostesses from the various attractions; poised, gracious, upbeat and sunshiny bright, they know how a lady should stand and comport herself in public, well groomed and healthy looking, and the genuine smiles never seemed to end. They don't necessarily have to look like supermodels (and none were), but their grooming and health shone through naturally and made them look genuinely attractive and happy. You rarely see that with young women nowadays, and especially not from Disneyland CM's.

Perfectly said.
As Edith Head once famously said, “Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady.”
Gracious, poised, feminine, and upbeat - if only women today realized how powerful those traits can be in today’s world.
Well, one certainly has:

I can’t have a bigger booty than my girl though. Haha.
Also, I have nothing against Taylor Swift or her outfit but I would say that’s maybe not quite the right outfit to drive home your point?

Why the hell would you want to do that? This thread is one of the most interesting, and sometimes nonsensical but always entertaining, threads that I've known in my 30 years on the World Wide Web.
It doesn't always make sense, but it's fun.
I mean, we can't just be like WDW fans and talk about refillable mugs and DVC points, can we? That sounds so boring.

Fair enough - here’s another (frankly, you can choose any one of her), but even in her “sexy” concert attire above, she’s always appropriate, feminine, and upbeat.
It’s her world and we’re all just living in it….

I'm afraid I couldn't name one song that she sings (although I'm sure I've heard them at a cocktail lounge, or department store, or neighborhood barbecue, or something), but I really do like her. She's a sweet throwback to those 20th century starlets, but she's also very now and modern. And I hope she ends up marrying that bearded football player, because he's not bad either.
Pardon my ignorance, but does Taylor Swift have any Disney connection at all? A Disney Channel show 20 years ago or something? I feel like Disneyland should really be getting in on this Taylor Swift pop culture moment she's having in the mid 2020's. It's undeniable that she's the It Girl of this present generation, like Annette Funicello circa 1962.

From what I've read of Prof. Einstein, he wasn't just brilliant, he also had a great sense of humor and loved whimsy.
I'd imagine he would have loved Disneyland, as he would have instinctively tuned in and acknowledged its excellent design and engineering in respect to its visitors, even at its earliest stage in 1955.
I agree. Do you think he lived long enough to hear his name used as a noun or did that not start after he died?

Taylor wrote some of the music for the Hannah Montana movie as well as made a cameo in it. Her Eras Tour concert is also on Disney+.

No, that was around by the 40's and 50's from movies and TV shows I've seen.
He probably thought it was hilarious.

With the perceived increase in ride malfunctions, you have to wonder how many guests are the cause instead of mechanical failure.

And yet NASA picked Blue Origin for its return to the Moon and for its mission to Mars.
NASA Selects Blue Origin as Second Artemis Lunar Lander Provider - NASA
To develop a human landing system for the agency’s Artemis V mission to the Moon, NASA has selected Blue Origin of Kent, Washington. Through Artemis, NASA will explore more of the Moon than ever before, uncovering more scientific discoveries, and preparing for future astronaut missions to Mars.www.nasa.gov
NASA Awards Mars Science Mission Launch to Blue Origin’s New Glenn | Blue Origin
NASA’s Launch Services Program awarded Blue Origin’s New Glenn the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) contract.www.blueorigin.com
Anything that SpaceX is doing in their mission to the Moon and Mars is on their own I believe.
The initial commercial contract was awarded to SpaceX for two Starship HLS missions, one uncrewed and one crewed as part of Artemis 3. These two missions each require one HLS launch and multiple fuelling launches, all on SpaceX Starship launchers. NASA later exercised an option under the initial contract to commission an upgraded Starship HLS for Artemis 4 and a separate contract to Blue Origin to develop a third crewed lunar lander, which will make its first crewed flight as part of the Artemis 5 mission.
