@FrshBakedDisney Or they could have chosen Endor. Or a mix of Tatooine and Endor. Or any place that would be familiar to visitors, as opposed to an anonymous space port. It was a bad choice.

On the one hand...what a terrible decision to ignore the original trilogy. But on the other hand...I don't think I'd want a desert themed land. All sun. No trees. No shade. Dirt and rock everywhere. Batuu is actually a fairly nice blend of environments. It just needed the OT.

@fandompulse Disney did the same thing with Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Why are half of the characters missing? Why does it take place after the events of the movie? So many baffling decisions by Disney over the past few years.

Former Walt Disney World VP Dan Cockerell on who killed the Tatooine-Themed Star Wars land: "We got a call one day. They said, ‘Well, we got some news for you all.’ And the Imagineering guys, they’ve heard this line many, many times during their careers. And I had never been through this.” "They said, ‘Well, yesterday Bob Iger met with Kathleen Kennedy, who as a lot people may know was sort of George Lucas’ protégé and headed up Lucasfilm. And they had a conversation. They had a meeting. And Kathleen Kennedy, her point of view was, there are way more Disney Star Wars stories ahead of us than behind us. So we really should think about do we want to build a Tatooine, and build what all the fifty-somethings remember Star Wars is or do we want to build something else which is going to appeal to all the upcoming generations who are going to know the new stories.' And that day Tatooine was killed at the Studios. And all of those concepts were put on a shelf and I’m sure they are sitting in a vault, and I’m sure they’re going be shown someday about what that land looked like and what the attractions were going to be." How disastrous was this decision?

@wavehawk2 @PhilaUnion @ItsAToddLife @mbarrera1323 The data doesn't lie.

The CIES Football Observatory has released its global ranking of clubs most focused on long-term squad management, and Philadelphia Union (@PhilaUnion) are one of just two MLS teams included in the top five. The index is based on four indicators: the number of players used in league matches over the past three years, with fewer being better, the average stay of current players in the first team squad, the average remaining contract length of those same players, and their average age at the time of signing, with younger being better. Based on this index, the Union rank above the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.

@JTansey90 I’m also a Spurs fan. Just about to give up on the sport at this time…

The Union aren’t even a fun level of bad. They’re just a depressing level of bad. And that’s the worst kind of bad.

I mean, that’s just one of the most absurd par saves you will ever see. Sahith Theegala is a mad man.

Repetitive negative thinking is associated with the accumulation of Alzheimer's dementia protein in the brain. Stay positive.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone. And it's making you a worse person because of it. Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would. That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear. It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on. Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one. The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started. Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product. This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens. Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing. You're right. They're wrong. Even when the opposite is true.

Marathon records to me are some of the most insane records in all sports. This time is a 4:22 mile which no one reading this could achieve, which is a 65 second 400 which very few reading this could achieve, and he did it for 13 straight miles. Just insane

Girls: it's just a salt shaker. Boys: 4-3-3 with overlapping fullbacks and a deep lying forward that is involved in the game.

@SoB_Evan The Soob will be the scene of 2 soccer reality shows. You have the Wrexham/Sunderland game, and now the Necaxa Leagues Cup game.

Philadelphia Union 2026 Leagues Cup Schedule: Round 1: @ Cruz Azul Round 2: vs Necaxa Round 3: vs Santos Laguna Carranza is coming home.

@Futbol_Analiz19 @SpursOfficial @krakenfx Richarlson may not be fit for a full 90. But he's a great sub to attack tired legs in the second half.

@SpursOfficial @krakenfx Tel and Souza will be good but Richie should be starting too, need players willing to fight for the badge tonight

This is Charlotte. While everyone’s losing their minds over delayed flights and tiny seats, this Jack Russell snagged a blue balloon at the airport and turned the terminal into her own racetrack. Pure zoomie chaos in the best way on Red Bull levels.

Exactly 25 years ago today, I scored my first — and only — professional goal. Contrary to what I believed at the time, goalkeepers are not allowed to handle the ball in both penalty areas. The goal was disallowed and I was sent off — still it earned me legendary status. 😉 #otd

I did not campaign for this. I did not donate money for this. I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is heartbreaking and tragic. And how many more innocent will die? What about our own military? This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be. Shame!

@JoserNunez91 @ItsAToddLife @mbarrera1323 It will not feel like a home game...
