The most obvious indicator I experienced with Disney was when they opened Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland in 2019. I wasn’t able to go the opening weekend, but within a couple of months I was able to visit.

Growing up I’d had the luck of being able to visit the park usually at least once per year.

This was the very first time they hadn’t figured out the queuing for a ride. Disney used to be known for their ability to efficiently wrangle people and queue them properly for rides with long lines without confusion… but this time half the queue was neon masking tape placed on the ground. It lead to confusion, line cutting, and a weird vibe all around.

That wasn’t the last time I had visited, but considering the price of entry has increased by 30% since, I’m not so interested anymore.

For now

Herr Musk is a lying nazi, and anyone holding Tesla is a fool and will get what they deserve

Since when have they been not using image manipulation for propaganda?

Sure it’s way easier now, but it’s not like manipulating images is a new tactic.
