TLDR A story about a Star Wars Hotel, an interesting YouTube trend, and Disney’s “battle” with DeSantis. Everybody wins apparently… but not really.
Interesting situation of a “will it work?” investment (into siphoning money out of eager fans’ savings) leads on to the concurrent story of Disney, DeSantis, and the heartwarming win-win for the politoeconomic machinery that keeps the world turning.

Disney did something good (?)… for human rights (what’s the catch though?)
…and the world’s a better place *long sigh*

IMO, this post is way too much about politics and way too little about why the Star Wars hotel sucked.

Yet that was the journey. I went to read about the hotel and was drawn to the cynical backdrop of who was driving it and what they’re about.
