Saw Spider-Man Brand New Day yesterday. It was fantastic, but biggest surprise was that their was an audible applause and people yelling after the film. I can't even remember the last time I've been to ANY movie and people applauded. Coworker went day before and said same thing happened in there.
Congrats @derekburgan.bsky.social on 13 years of wacky and continuous entertainment. Greatly appreciate all of the work put into this and is something I look forward to every Saturday. ❤️

While the world goes crazy around us, Derek’s stories each Saturday bring a much needed bit of fun. Every once in a while I go back through the “Turkeys” articles to recall and enjoy the odd stuff that happened each year.

Just going to say this article is awesome and a great overview of everything I’ve enjoyed about SATURDAY SIX. For me, a must read every week.

An amazing retrospective! As someone still but a baby in the social media theme park sphere (I never joined Twitter and have only been BlueSky-ing for like a year and a half), I love this look back, the history of so much I have just taken for granted, and links to quintessential articles and folks!

Was going through old photos and realize I posted this over 6 years ago and we are not a single inch closer to an actual GOP revealed healthcare plan. The more things change...
One thing I found out a full decade into working with TouringPlans is who actually recommended me to @lentesta.bsky.social I had always assumed it was a certain person, but never asked. Turns out it was someone I would have *never* guessed, theme park photography Icon @tombricker.bsky.social

I laughed out loud many times while reading this. And I don’t usually do that. Take a few minutes.
