@ericmmatheny I thought it would be a 70s band like KC and the Sunshine Band.
You're calling a 90s band a legacy act?
I'm old ahahahah

First and foremost, this is the American Gardens Pavillion at Epcot, not some random city park.
Disney pays these legacy acts serious money to come and perform.
Band makes money, everyone has fun.

@thegarrettscott @elneurozorro @pipedream_labs The people who are complaining about wanting to shop "in-store" only have not experienced the joy of walking around a supermarket with a fussy newborn, wearing your milk-stained shirt inside out ahahahah

Founder here. Ya, we had to pause Goods for now.
Our plan was to run it for a month in Beta and then when the experience was an A++ do a full grand opening. A few weeks in, we had a deal for the main business (@pipedream_labs) delay, which meant we couldn’t run Goods until we figured it out.
Running the beta was some of the most rewarding work I have ever done. We learned a ton. Really appreciate everyone who tried it and gave us feedback.
I promise that we will not do a Grand Opening until we are sure we can be open for everyone for 12+ months. We should have waited until we were 100% sure we could operate for a year plus no matter what, and that is on me. Really sorry we didn’t run the beta for longer, hopefully can be fully open soon.
In the meantime, if anyone wants a tour let me know, I’d love to show you. Also, hit me with your most hard hitting questions here and I’ll answer all of them.

We've built a first of its kind grocery store in Austin. Introducing Goods➡️

@thegarrettscott @rbesprit @elneurozorro @catebligh @pipedream_labs This idea is great for families who do not want to bring their fussy babies into a store. It also helps when you think you're coming down with something and don't wish to spread it around.

@rbesprit @elneurozorro @catebligh @pipedream_labs Shopping in store is a great experience!
Pickup is a great option when you value convieance over the experience.

@_tramirez @KUTnathan I agree. I sometimes take the toll to the next exit of Lakeline Blvd.

@davepl1968 I watched it live in my Biology classroom. The entire high school was watching.

99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live.
Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.
Jeremy London@SirJeremyLondon
Anyone who experienced the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, like I did, is probably a bit hesitant to get too excited about the Artemis II launch today. I truly hope our children don’t have to experience such tragedy. May the Universe welcome them and return them safely home 🙏

I wish I could say more but unfortunately everything I know about the alien hybrid program is classified.
Let’s just say some of you would be very surprised who’s not entirely human.
That’s all I’m authorised to disclose at this time.
Interstellar@InterstellarUAP
🚨 Matt Gaetz : “There is an ALIEN Hybrid Breeding Program” Rep. Matt Gaetz on what he was told in a classified congressional briefing by a uniformed U.S. Army officer: “I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that.” Gaetz added that recovered craft crashes examined by the CIA contained “non-human biologics” with no identifiable human source. This is straight from a sitting Congressman under oath-level clearance. No speculation — just what he says he was officially briefed. What do you make of it? 👇 ---

When someone says, “It was 20 years ago.” I think, “Ah yes, the 90s!” But then they tell me it was 2006 and I have to sit down for a bit.

What factories in TX will let me take my homeschooled kids on a tour?
I wish Tesla and SpaceX did but I don’t think they do. Does Toyota?

@bowtiedmeathead There was a study a few years ago from Salesforce (?) that said their most successful salesreps were young, attractive, approachable women who didn't mind rejection.
She should also look into bookkeeping. Small businesses always need help with their books.

My wife and I were talking the other day about potential career options for my 15 yrs old daughter who really struggles in school and is likely not college bound/material.
For guys it’s easy…
Don’t want to go to college, pick a trade or figure something else out such as a police officer, firefighter etc.
It’s not as easy for girls.
I think she would do well in sales since she is attractive, has the personality and is extremely social (spends hours everyday talking on the phone to all her friends).
For parents with daughters who aren’t on the college path…what are some real, high-income career options you’ve seen work?

@mikemoviez I'd never heard of this film until I saw this homage, a Levi's advert from the early 90s.

"THE SWIMMER [1968] is a surreal, unsettling, and highly stylized masterpiece, featuring an unforgettable performance by Burt Lancaster, and directed by Frank Perry. It is based on the 1964 short story of the same title by author John Cheever.
It follows a man’s delusional journey across suburban pools, which serves as a profound allegory for the decline of the American Dream, personal failure, and the loss of youth.
A "suburban odyssey" that blends a dreamy, sunny aesthetic with dark, psychological undercurrents, it acts as a blistering satire of upper-middle class affluence, vanity and denial. The film is known for its dream-like, sometimes disjointed narrative, with some viewers seeing it as an interpretation of the descent into Hell."

@ViddyThis @mikemoviez This is a movie that I can't get out of my head.
The ending is insane, literally and figuretively!
It's the type of movie you need to watch twice.

@BreeSolstad What about the early Christians worshipping in a cave? Chinese Christians covertly praying in someone’s house?
If the Holy Spirit envelopes you in the middle of a coffeehouse, do you say, “sorry, but I can only receive this wonderful gift in a church”?
English
This is what emotionalism looks like.
This is what a pop concert looks like.
This is NOT what worship looks like.
Rikki Doolan@realrikkidoolan
Mass worship of Jesus in a coffee house in the USA. This is what revival looks like.

I interviewed Robert Redford once. I was walking out after, he told me to come back because he had a question. “I noticed you had some questions written down but never looked at them. Why?” “Oh, if I’m looking at them I’m not listening to what you’re saying.” He smiled and nodded

🚨 WOMAN ASKS THE INTERNET: “WHY DOES NOBODY WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE ANYMORE?” — AND THE FLOODGATES BURST OPEN
A mom posted a video asking something that’s been bothering her.
Why does nobody want to go out anymore?
Not for work.
Not for fun.
Not even for simple things.
She says unless it’s a trip somewhere, she just doesn’t feel like leaving the house at all.
Then the floodgates opened.
People started admitting they feel the exact same way.
Some of the replies:
• “It costs $100 every time I leave the house.”
• “I’d rather stay home than deal with people.”
• “COVID turned me into a permanent homebody.”
• “Nothing outside feels worth the effort anymore.”
What started as one simple question suddenly turned into thousands of people realizing they aren’t the only ones feeling this way.
Be honest… do you actually enjoy leaving the house anymore?

Now wait a minute, what’s this? The amalgamation of two great movies, sort of. Can you guess which two?
