      That’s really not what he was saying. If you read the article, you’ll find the title is pretty misleading. He’s trying to act like Florida has all but “won” the lawsuit, and that Disney should, therefore, just give up. It’s obviously a bluff, but he’s not really saying “please stop.”

        “Psshhh, I have SO won this case, they might as well give up already. Not like they´d definitely bulldoze me curbstomp-style and then dance on my mangled remains, AT ALL. And since that´s not what´s gonna happen anyway, they´d better stop now because I´m winning so hard. Really. I`m so very winning, you guys!”

            Walt would win. Talking about a guy who is frozen in a jar and controlling the whole park via Epcot.

          The difference is: Walt is the guy that want‘s to install Leopards because he thinks it will make him richer and more powerful. DeSantis is the first if the Leopards trying to eat Walt‘s face.

          Now, because Walt is as powerful as he is, he can put that Leopard in it‘s place. But others will come and eat him alive later.

          That‘s the thing with fascism - it‘s like a forest fire, it will burn down everything. People like Walt think that setting fire will benefit him (because people are busy fighting the fire that they can‘t focus an what he‘s up to). In the end, ge will burn as well.

            Do you uh, think that Walt Disney still runs Disney?

            That’s not possible, the man has obviously been cryogenically frozen for 50 years.

              That’s just what they want you to think. That was a leftover animatronic duplicate they froze. Mickey told me all about it over drinks that time Minnie cheated on him.

              Semi related. I figured out that chatgpt will follow you along conspiracy theories as long as they aren’t well documented. I can’t make it agree that Walt Disney was frozen but I can make it agree that Philip K. Dick might be living in an abandoned Blockbuster with only movies based on his books on the shelf.

        You are looking at it differently than I am.

        I have zero problems with regulating corporations. I just want those regulations to be for the public good. Yes you will pay your workers properly, no you can’t dump toxic sludge in our water. What Meatball did was attempt to regulate them for his good, not the public. He wanted to enforce his vision. I would be just as upset if he had tried to force them to say include more diversity in their movies. Yes I personally would like Disney to do this, but my personal whims should not have the power of law.

        You aren’t really siding with Disney, you are siding against agenda driven regulations. And if that doesn’t make you feel better just remember the ACLU defended Nazis right to freedom of speech.

        Well when you basically have your ass saved in the 80’s by the Lavenderest of musical writers who make the new foundation of your brand narratives of acceptance and love for the outsider with your flagship renaissance peice being a retelling of a Gay man’s obvious pining for acceptance of a forbidden romance and then use that formula for practically every hit princess movie to follow… You are just a tad beholden?

    Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just “Move on” and stop dealing with the problems from your past? Just like this guy Kyle who “Moved on” from owing me $2,000 and thinks that’s the end of it.

    Seems they’re both wrong.

    Of course he’d like them to drop a lawsuit that he’s going to lose and they had pre-typed and filed within minutes of his bonehead actions.

    DuhSantis living up to this name.

    I mean one has to be pretty dense to think Disney is gonna drop a lawsuit because the person doesn’t want to face the consequences of their actions.
