While last week's post shared lament over the closing of Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America, we return to Disneyland's 70th Anniversary to celebrate the heritage of Frontierland. While you might think Frontierland is a thing of the past, knowing the past of this land will give you appreciation for the remarkable role it has played in four of Disney's theme parks around the world. We'll step inside the fort entrance to hear some stories many may have never heard before about the history of Frontierland. Did you know there was at one point a big Indiana Jones attraction developed for Frontierland. We share all the Wild West with you. From the Trading Post to the Golden Horseshoe; From The Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to Big Thunder Ranch, and from the Halloween Tree to a Petrified Tree, we bring you tall and true tales of Disneyland's Frontierland. ____________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

It's officially 6 months ‘til Christmas, and Mocha's already getting festive—tree and all! Roz and Katherine treat a hard-working roofer like a houseguest, while Maurie hits the streets to ask if it's really too early for Christmas talk. Plus, Roz worries about his mom in the heat (she's fine—she was at Wonderland), and Shem recaps the entire month of June with a brand-new banger. We also get into cologne drama, Maria's new boyfriend sleep struggles, the 24-24-24-24 challenge, and yes… the man who died from sitting on the toilet too long.

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode I sit down with Royal Danish Ballet Principal Ballerina Holly Dorger - a childhood friend whose dance journey has taken her from suburban Michigan to the royal stage of Copenhagen.Holly's path has been anything but predictable. From training at the School of American Ballet with dreams of joining New York City Ballet, to unexpectedly being offered a contract abroad, Holly opens up about how she began her professional career at 18 with the Royal Danish Ballet.She shares candid reflections on everything from finding personal healing through dancing roles such as Giselle to what it's like to be knighted by the Queen of Denmark. We talk about the challenges of building a life in a foreign country, what it's like to grow artistically over nearly two decades as a professional, and how she brings authenticity and emotional depth to every performance - especially the ones rooted in human experience and vulnerability.If you've ever wondered what it's like to build a career abroad, channel personal pain into performance, or face the question of "what's next?" after reaching the top, this conversation is a must-listen.Key “Pointes” in this Episode
Today's writing is a bit about my weekend plans and a smattering of thoughts on women's bodies and clothing choices. Enjoy!
În fiecare vară, Timișoara devine un centru al jazzului contemporan, un loc în care sunetele inovatoare, artiștii de renume și publicul pasionat creează împreună o experiență muzicală unică. JAZZx, ajuns la a 13-a ediție, continuă să inoveze oferind un program divers care celebrează bogăția stilistică și talentul artiștilor români și internaționali. Discutam despre acest eveniment cu Andreea Iager Tako (Centrul Cultural Plai) si Krisztina Kalapati (responsabil comunicare JAZZx Festival TM). După ce primele nume anunțate – Jacob Banks, The Philharmonik, New Fossils și Zaharenco – festivalul își continuă dezvăluirea lineup-ului cu artiști excepționali, care vor transforma cele trei zile de festival într-un eveniment memorabil. Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sánchez Trio One Sheet Câștigător a 18 premii Grammy (42 de nominalizari / Grammy 2025 pentru “Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella”), Béla Fleck a redefinit banjo-ul, transformându-l dintr-un instrument tradițional într-un vector al inovației muzicale. De la bluegrass la jazz și colaborări cu artiști legendari precum Chick Corea, Fleck surprinde mereu prin explorările sale sonore. La JAZZx 2025, alături de Edmar Castaneda – un virtuoz al harpei din Columbia, cunoscut pentru colaborările cu Hiromi, Paquito D'Rivera și Gregoire Maret – și Antonio Sanchez – toboșar de 5 ori premiat cu Grammy, celebru pentru colaborările cu Pat Metheny și coloana sonoră a filmului Birdman – vine să creeze un dialog muzical captivant, plin de ritmuri surprinzătoare, armonii sofisticate și o energie aparte. Meshell Ndegeocello Este o artistă de excepție, recunoscută pentru talentul său de a îmbina diverse influențe muzicale diverse, de la funk și soul la jazz, hip hop, reggae și rock. De-a lungul unei cariere de peste 30 de ani, a redefinit așteptările. Câștigătoarea premiulul Grammy din acest an la categoria “Best Alternative Jazz Album” și având în palmares alte 2 premii și 13 nominalizari, Meshell a colaborat de-a lungul carierei cu artiști de renume precum Rolling Stones, Madonna, Alanis Morissette și mulți alții. Pentru ea, fiecare spectacol este o oportunitate de conexiune, considerând muzica un liant între oameni – un principiu care se regăsește perfect în spiritul JAZZx: We Jazz Together. Adi Oasis Originară din Caraibe și stabilită în Brooklyn, Adi Oasis este o artistă și producătoare de soul-funk-R&B, recunoscută pentru vocea sa inconfundabilă. Cel mai recent album al său, „Lotus Glow”, este cea mai personală și curajoasă creație a ei de până acum, îmbinând teme politice și sociale cu o estetică sonoră captivantă. Din 2018, de când și-a început cariera solo, a cucerit publicul și critica de specialitate, fiind apreciată de Vogue, Elle, Rolling Stone și Wonderland. A avut un impact puternic pe scena live, impresionând cu prestații energice și colaborări cu artiști precum Lenny Kravitz, Masego, Anderson .Paak, Thundercat și Yasiin Bey. A urcat pe scenele unor festivaluri prestigioase, inclusiv Newport Jazz Fest, Montreux Jazz Festival, Love Supreme, Afropunk și Cross the Tracks, iar acum aduce acest mix efervescent de stiluri la JAZZx 2025, promițând un show electrizant. IOANAx Soultrain Un proiect custom dezvoltat de Subcarpați pentru JAZZx, după SUBJazz (Subcarpați x JazzyBit), subliniind caracterul unic al festivalului. Aduce un suflu nou folclorului românesc, îmbrăcându-l în libertatea jazz-ului. Vocea Ioanei Milculescu devine puntea dintre tradiție și modernitate, transformând fiecare piesă într-o călătorie sonoră intensă și autentică. Alături de Max K., Mușat, Marcelle Poaty-Souami, Daniel Rădulescu, Radu Pieloiu, Mircea Ardeleanu Jr. și muzicienii din universul Subcarpați, melodiile Ioanei sunt reorchestrate și reinterpretate, dând folclorului o nouă viață. Acest proiect redescoperă̆ rădăcinile muzicale printr-un limbaj contemporan, creând o experiență̆ captivantă, plină de nuanțe și emoție. Amphitrio Este un proiect de jazz contemporan iniţiat în 2020, având în componenţă pe pianistul și compozitorul Andrei Petrache, basistul Mike Alex și percuţionistul Philip Goron, instrumentiști cu o fundaţie solidă în muzica clasică și alternativă. Povestea din spatele acestui trio vorbește despre prietenie, despre plăcerea de a cânta și de a improviza. Repertoriul Amphitrio conţine piese originale scrise de Andrei Petrache într-o zonă a jazz-ului modern, cu influenţe din jazz-ul nordic contemporan și culori balcanic-orientale, dar și amprente din heavy rock și muzică electronică. JAZZx se va desfăşura la Timişoara, în Piața Libertății, în perioada 4 - 6 iulie 2025, iar accesul este gratuit.
Send us a textIn Wonderland, nothing is ever quite what it seems, including Alice's birthday. The White Rabbit, who promised to celebrate with her, keeps darting off in all directions. Even the Mad Hatter deflates her hopes for a special day when he un-invites her to tea—because it's not her unbirthday. Feeling lost and forgotten, Alice wonders if anything can turn the day around—until the Cheshire Cat appears with a curious new path to follow. In a land where left is right and up is down, a day full of bummers might just bounce back into the best birthday yet.Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/alices-birthday-bummer/DOWNLOAD COLOR PAGE: https://bit.ly/dorktalesEP114colorpage GRAB YOUR FREE PDF list of conversation questions for this episode: https://dorktalesstorytime.aweb.page/ep114freePDF PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: In “Alice's Birthday Bummer,” young listeners journey through the emotional ups and downs of a birthday that doesn't go as planned.

John Holmes unexpectedly found fame in the 1970s with a freakishly large appendage that proved a gateway into the burgeoning adult entertainment industry. He appeared in over 2,000 porn films and is alleged to have slept with over 14,000 women. But a severe drug habit put him in close contact with some strange bedfellows in the Los Angeles underworld, including a ragtag gang of junkies and dealers, and Eddie Nash, a dangerous criminal mastermind. Drugs, desperation, and double-crossing would eventually lead to the infamous murders at 8763 Wonderland Avenue on July 1, 1981. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and sex with minors.

Rex that seemed to be chasing its own tail.Sv: Hans vänner skrattade och nickade, men fortsatte till nästa del av museet.En: His friends laughed and nodded but continued to the next part of the museum.Sv: Maja, som ville imponera på sin pojkvän Sven, pekade på en gigantisk skelett av en Diplodocus medan hon pratade om dess historia.En: Maja, wanting to impress her boyfriend Sven, pointed at a gigantic skeleton of a Diplodocus while she talked about its history.Sv: Lars förlorade sig i dinosauriernas värld.En: Lars lost himself in the world of dinosaurs.Sv: Han lade inte märke till att tiden gick och att hans vänner långsamt försvann från synhåll.En: He didn't notice that time passed and that his friends slowly vanished from sight.Sv: Plötsligt hördes ett meddelande i högtalarna.En: Suddenly, a message was heard over the speakers.Sv: "Museet stänger om fem minuter.En: "The museum closes in five minutes.Sv: Vänligen bege er till utgången."En: Please make your way to the exit."Sv: Lars ryckte till.En: Lars jolted.Sv: Han såg sig omkring – bara han, de uråldriga skeletten och skuggorna fanns kvar.En: He looked around—only he, the ancient skeletons, and the shadows remained.Sv: På hastiga steg skyndade han sig mot utgången, men dörrarna var redan låsta.En: He hurried towards the exit with quick steps, but the doors were already locked.Sv: Panik spred sig i hans bröst.En: Panic spread in his chest.Sv: Hur kunde han vara så disträ?En: How could he be so absent-minded?Sv: Lars kände efter i fickan efter sin mobil, men insåg med en suck att batteriet var dött.En: Lars reached into his pocket for his phone but realized with a sigh that the battery was dead.Sv: Han måste lösa detta på egen hand.En: He had to solve this on his own.Sv: Med bestämda steg började han utforska museet i hopp om att hitta en olåst dörr.En: With determined steps, he began to explore the museum in hopes of finding an unlocked door.Sv: Varje steg ekade i den tysta hallen.En: Every step echoed in the silent hall.Sv: Han trodde sig emellanåt höra dinosauriernas sus och brus i det avlägsna.En: At times, he thought he heard the whispering and rustling of dinosaurs in the distance.Sv: Plötsligt, genom ett halvmörkt rum, upptäckte han en dörr med en skylt som det stod "Kontrollrum" på.En: Suddenly, through a dimly lit room, he discovered a door with a sign that read "Control Room."Sv: När han öppnade dörren råkade hans armbåge trycka på en knapp.En: When he opened the door, his elbow accidentally pressed a button.Sv: Strax därefter hördes ljudet av mekaniska dinosaurier som började röra sig och ryta, vilket fyllde museet med ett kakofoniskt dån.En: Shortly thereafter, the sound of mechanical dinosaurs starting to move and roar filled the museum with a cacophonous din.Sv: Maja och Sven, som äntligen hade insett att Lars var borta, vände tillbaka för att leta efter honom.En: Maja and Sven, who had finally realized that Lars was missing, turned back to look for him.Sv: När de hörde ljudet av de falska dinosaurierna, kunde de inte låta bli att skratta.En: When they heard the sound of the faux dinosaurs, they couldn't help but laugh.Sv: De hittade Lars, lite röd i ansiktet men leendes triumferande, när han slutligen lyckades stänga av animatronicsen.En: They found Lars, a little red in the face but smiling triumphantly, when he finally managed to turn off the animatronics.Sv: "Lars, du gjorde det!"En: "Lars, you did it!"Sv: ropade Maja med beundran i rösten.En: Maja shouted with admiration in her voice.Sv: Sven klappade honom på axeln, "Du är verkligen en smart kille, Lars."En: Sven patted him on the shoulder, "You really are a smart guy, Lars."Sv: Med ett brett leende kände Lars att han hade hanterat situationen väl.En: With a broad smile, Lars felt he had handled the situation well.Sv: Hans respekt hos Sven hade vuxit och Maja såg honom med nya ögon.En: His respect among Sven had grown, and Maja looked at him with new eyes.Sv: De lämnade museet tillsammans, skrattande och pratar om alla framtida äventyr de skulle ha.En: They left the museum together, laughing and talking about all the future adventures they would have.Sv: Denna midsommar skulle inte bara handla om traditioner, utan också om vännernas oslagbara band och en oväntad, men uppskattad, sommarepisod i museets tysta salar.En: This midsummer would not just be about traditions, but also the unbeatable bond of friends and an unexpected but appreciated summer episode in the quiet halls of the museum.

In this episode of the Compendium, we recount the harrowing true survival story of a 1994 Zambezi River attack. What began as a serene safari turned into a nightmare when a hippo capsized a canoe, leaving guide Phil Longden severely injured. Days later, another group faced a similar fate, battling both hippos and crocodiles in a desperate fight for survival. Amidst the chaos, a blue paddle became a symbol of hope, aiding in their escape. This tale of courage and resilience highlights the dangers lurking in the African wilderness and the extraordinary measures taken to survive.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHIt's the night before and an elf band is out in the snow and they beginning playing an absolute banger of a song and that's when Dan found out this movie was a musical. Santa begins to sing a song all about preparing for Christmas. It's showtime baby! There is one letter that got left behind, so these elves run to try to get it to Santa before he takes off. One of the reindeer, Robin, gets sick and has to stay home. The elves come running out just in time and Santa opens up the letter. It is from a little girl, The Princesss of Hearts, in Wonderland who is hoping Santa will finally visit them this year. He decides that they're going to visit Wonderland first. The reindeer aren't having it. They've read the book. Wonderland is mad! Santa reminds them that he's Santa and everyone deserves a gift! Robin realizes that Santa left the reindeer SOS button behind, so they fly off.We head to Wonderland and we find out that some of the folks in Wonderland secretly celebrate Christmas but hide it from the Queen because she's outlawed Christmas. She heads off to sleep just as Santa lands on the roof. Her cat hears some commotion on the roof and won't stand for it. So they go invisible mode, sneaks downstairs and knocks over a lamp to wake the Queen up. She comes downstairs and finds Santa and she says OFF WITH HIS HEAD! He runs off and she fall out the window. Santa tries to find the princess but ends up opening a door which causes him to fall through the door and into a maze. It's mad out there! He discovers a girl named Alice who is also there and she's a giant - she's been eating the apple shrooms. Luckily, she's given a potion which shrinks her back to regular size. They go to enjoy some tea and treats with the Mad Hatter. But the Queen isn't too far behind. We find out that the Queen tried to send a letter to Santa when she was a kid, but the White Rabbit goofed on getting it to the mailbox in one piece. Since Santa never came to Wonderland, she began to hate Christmas. she catches up with Santa and he is put on trial. It's in the trial that the Queen finds out that St. Nick has only just now discovered her letter. Via song, we find out all she really wanted was a bandersnatch. She gives it some thought and decides to give St. Nick one last chance to give her the bandersnatch she's always wanted. But Santa and the gang took some of the shrinking juice to escape from jail. When Queen gets to the jail, she finds it empty and gets real sad. She tracks Santa down and he gives her the gift and it's coal. He explains that's what happens to a gift if you haven't been nice. The only way to get the gift is to be kind. So she decides to let Alice go but keep Santa in jail until the gift turns back. Alice helps the Queen learn how to be kind again. She finds Santa and tells him to give the gift to someone who deserves it and they all enjoy tea together.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
In this episode of the Compendium, we unravel the real story behind the McDonald's hot coffee case—a tale often misrepresented in the media. Stella Liebeck, a 79-year-old woman, suffered third-degree burns from coffee served at dangerously high temperatures. Despite seeking a modest settlement, McDonald's offered only $800, leading to a lawsuit that highlighted issues of corporate negligence and consumer rights. We delve into how big business and media narratives distorted the facts, turning a legitimate claim into a symbol of "frivolous lawsuits." This case became a catalyst for American tort reform debates, revealing the profound impact of corporate influence in politics. We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources: Liebeck v.

Story endings are hard! The epilogue of a game not only has to logically wrap up the story and tie up any loose ends—it's also the moment to reflect on how your character has grown over many sessions, and a moment for you as the player to feel like the time spent playing was worthwhile. In this episode, we talk about what makes roleplaying game epilogues special, and how we're approaching epilogue design in Escape from Wonderland. Episode Mentions: Return to Oz (1985 film) Fortunately (1964 illustrated book, Remy Charlip) Something Wicked this Way Comes (1962 novel, Ray Bradbury) Tuiti and R2D2 at Dakin Animal Shelter Links: Join the Turtlebun Discord: https://discord.gg/XD4WVDjvbz Support our work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/turtlebun Buy our games: https://turtlebun.com/ Credits: Design Doc intro/outro theme by ipaghost: https://www.ipaghost.com/ Episode edited by Rob Abrazado: https://robabrazado.com/ Get in touch: Designdocpod (at) gmail (dot) com Instagram: instagram.com/turtleandbun Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/turtlebun.com
