This Day in Disney History
July 3, 1967: Four years before Walt Disney World’s grand opening, Disney executives meet with representatives of the Florida Department of Citrus to find ways to incorporate Florida citrus with the new vacation destination.
The Orange Bird was designed as a mascot in 1970 and was even a walk around character for a short while, but completely disappeared in 1987. In 2004 he appeared at Tokyo Disneyland, and in April 2012, he made the return to Walt Disney World at the Sunshine Tree Terrace. The Orange Bird has had quite the cult following, and never really completely dropped off the radar. It’s nice to see his happy face overlooking the Dole Whip hot spot in Adventureland!

DID AMAZON.COM SPOIL A MAJOR PLOT ELEMENT OF EPISODE VIII?
Since the stealth debut of Episode VIII Star Wars character “Star Wars Bear,” fans have been speculating as to the nature of his role in the film, currently in production in England.
Is he the titular “Space Bear” referred to in Episode VIII’s top secret “code name”? Is he a hero or a villain, and does his whimsical appearance indicate that he is intended to be serve as “comic relief”?
But now, more details have been revealed via Amazon.com’s toy listings, where Star Wars Bear can be seen dressed up as other well-known Star Wars characters, including Han Solo, Finn, Darth Vader & even R2-D2!
Some are saying that the character of Star Wars Bear may be a “master of disguise” and that the storyline for Episode VIII might involve him pretending to be various characters in order to trick Kylo Ren and/or Luke Skywalker!
Obviously, this is a big reveal, with enormous implications for the franchise, which has often deployed big twists as well as characters in disguise. But with Star Wars Bear, it would seem that Lucasfilm, Disney and director Rian Johnson are intending to take things to a whole new level.
J.J. Abrams has already publicly acknowledged a pang of regret when he read the screenplay for Episode VIII, which may well have had to do with the fact that he never got to direct a scene with Star Wars Bear.
The high prices that these toys are currently selling for on Amazon are an indication that they are already highly sought-after by collectors and fans alike.
What do YOU think? Did Amazon spoil the movie? Or is this a clever tease, planted by the filmmakers to encourage speculation?

left skepticism
this is a meta-level political stance, which I don’t necessarily endorse, and which I suspect may be reasonably common at least implicitly, but which I rarely see expressed explicitly, and which seems to be both coherent and reasonable
the standard meta-framework among educated center-rightists might be called “right skepticism:” social science is hard and frankly we have no clue what we’re doing, so absent very strong reasons we should just do what what our foreuncles did; chesterton’s fence, and all that
left skepticism says: we have no idea what we’re doing, so absent very strong reasons we should just do whatever results in less immediate suffering, a factor we can know with much greater regularity.
just like right-skepticism doesn’t get you to a maximally right-wing position without a bit of work (that probably betrays the skeptical premises,) left-skepticism doesn’t get you to a maximally left position without a bit of work (that probably betrays the skeptical premises.) the left is associated after all with our own set of cruelties, from the sublimity (mme guillotine) to the bathetic (yelling at teenagers for whether they say “trans” or “trans*”.) but it does (on first face, which is the face it trusts) tell you to give money to the poor, caution against bombing campaigns and harsh punishments, suggest that you honor pronoun preferences regardless of what may be the True Metaphysics of Gender, and to in general do everything that gets characterized as terrible “coddling” and “softening.” like chesterton’s fence, it does not rule out informed exceptions, but also like chesterton’s fence it asserts a strong default in the absence of those.
ADELE’S “HELLO” BENGHAZI COMMITTEE
If you missed the Benghazi Committee’s 11-hour grilling of Hillary Clinton last week, don’t worry. I made this music video which I think captures the essence of the hearings and perhaps something deeper which is impossible to articulate.
