Hi everyone! I have some interesting updates at both Disney World and at Disneyland. At Disney World, a Florida man brought an AR-15 rifle magazine with 90 rounds to Disney World hotel to protect his family, which is kind if strange for him to do because you don’t normally see someone bring a rifle to Disney parks.
The Cinderella Castle bathed in Lakers colors after they won the NBA title for the first time in decades. Also, A Lakers player Anthony Davis won’t go back to Disney World for at least two years following time in NBA bubble.
Disney World reservations are now available through the end of 2021. The reservations have been released through September 26, 2021. The Disney Park Pass calendar has now been extended through January 2022.
Disney World is now unveiling a license plate to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Disney World is also asking guests to reschedule their trips to go there if they are not wearing their masks properly at all times. To me this is really smart of what Disney World is doing because it helps stop the spread and keeps other people from getting affected by the coronavirus. “Good Job Disney World for doing your job!”
Over at Disneyland, A California Governor Gavin Newsom has sent a team to Disney World to inspect reopening protocols for Disneyland as they continue to have “Good Faith” in reopening. Disneyland has reached return to work agreements with the employee unions.
Disneyland workers are rallying outside of Disneyland in Anaheim and they are pushing for reopening. Disneyland is facing a $2 billion revenue loss during the coronavirus closure and they are also facing the backlog of refund requests for Disney Annual Passes where they are asking for refunds.
Disney launches a new Aulani Mobile App. The new app will enable guests to these 4 things:
- Manage reservation details
- Access online check-in Service
- Explore activities on the “Daily 1wa”
- Find places of interest on the map.
If you book your Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa vacation through dreams unlimited travel-the official sponsor of the Dis, you’ll receive a refillable drink mug for each member of your party. It sounds really cool to have in Aulani.
All of this information came from the Disney news I look at.
So, what do you guys think about these Disney updates?!
I would like to hear some comments, thoughts, or opinions down below!
Stay tuned for more Disney updates.

Here’s what we reviewed in comics this week that you might want to check out:
Adventureman #4
The story hop skips to plot points in a way and we are treated to several miniatures arcs within the issue that all contribute to the overarching narrative about the mystery of Adventureman and Claire’s connection to the stories. For all of the fun grounded moments in the “real” world, there are just as many unbound, gleeful scenes in the “storied” world where magic and science are equally potent and the forces of good and evil are constantly clashing, that culminates in a proper collision.
Cable #5
In the end, Cable #5 accomplishes its task of summoning the young warrior to take his place within the circle of swordsmen and badass women. Phil Noto’s panels are my favorite aspect of this book, in particular the “blurry” mind reading page. X of Swords is coming along nicely and this issue of Cable was a cool, quick read if you enjoy yourself a good Summers family tale.
Captain Marvel #22
This issue focuses on Carol’s unrelenting task of making sense of the situation she’s been thrown into. Mind and body seemingly ripped to shreds and put back together in a God forsaken time. Off the rip, she let’s Fantomex 5 eat a face full of photonic energy blast before someone recognizes her and brings her in to get her bearings straight. War Machine and Captain Marvel were on a hybrid date mission with Spider-Woman and Hazmat when they were attacked by these tarry black tendrils and she woke up in 2052.
Commanders in Crisis #1
Tinto’s character design is absolutely impeccable, and the full spread that shows the Originator, Sawbones, Prizefighter, and Seer in action is truly a wondrous thing to behold. And part of Commanders in Crisis‘ charm is the fact that it has all of the personality of superheroes without any preconceived notions of these characters. We don’t have history, we only have what Orlando and Tinto demonstrate to us, and it’s kind of a cool world. It’s bright and colorful, and optimistic to the point of being almost saccharine, almost being the operative word here. It’s a little over the top, but that’s less a dig and more just a fact
New Mutants #13
New Mutants #13 is the kind comic that makes you go “SHEEEESH” when you turn the last page. While we’ve been seeing the likes of Wolverine and Storm, hardened individuals, relish in the opportunity to fight for the sake of their kind, this issue lays bare the other side of the tournament participant. The not so gung ho fighter who knows their entry into this sword fight will likely end in dismemberment…or worse.
Seven Secrets #3
Casper is such a fun character, both as a not-quite-omniscient narrator and participant in the hidden society built on a bedrock of ominous secrets that could potentially end the world, and Seven Secrets #3 carries for the same energy as its direct predecessor, and the bulk of the issue continues to focus on his backstory in particular while also alluding to some of the world building that Taylor has meticulously crafted.

The post The Pull – 10/14/2020: Scary Good Reads this Week appeared first on Black Nerd Problems.
There’s been a lot of depressing scientific speculation about the impact climate change will have on Earth this century. Now, in another bleak study, scientists say Old Faithful, Yellowstone National Park’s beloved geyser, may cease to erupt in the next several decades thanks to Earth’s shifting climate. And while this won’t necessarily happen, having global warming snuff out a natural feature that literally represents reliability seems like it’d be a bad omen.
Earther reported on the study that the authors recently published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. In the study, the scientists aimed to determine just how reliable Old Faithful has been in the past.
In order to make this determination, the team radiocarbon dated ancient wood found near the geyser in the ’50s. The wood’s close proximity to the geyser signaled to scientists that trees must have once grown near it. That’s something trees are unable to do now thanks to Old Faithful’s constant expulsions of hot, alkaline water.

“When I submitted the samples for radiocarbon dating I didn’t know whether they would be hundreds or thousands of years old,” Shaul Hurwitz told Science Magazine. Hurwitz, a geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and lead author of the study, added that it was an ‘aha!’ moment when all of the specimens dated back to within a hundred-year period during the 13th and 14th centuries.
The reason this was an epiphany for Hurwitz is because that period coincided with a series of severe droughts. Ones that took place in the region over multiple decades. Hurwitz and his colleagues specifically note the petrified wood dates back to a period after the Medieval Climate Anomaly and before the so-called Little Ice Age.
Now, Hurwitz and his colleagues say the region in which Old Faithful blows is again under threat from droughts. The study says climate models “project increasingly severe droughts by mid‐21st century,” which could lead to Old Faithful’s eruptions becoming less frequent, or ceasing altogether. This would be the case because boiling water underground, heated by magma and kept liquified by intense pressures, is responsible for Old Faithful. (When the water becomes hot enough to vaporize, it triggers an eruption through the geyser’s vent.)
Unfortunately, other geologists who spoke with Science Magazine say the projections this study makes are reasonable. And losing this iconic geyser would be an extraordinary shame, of course. Because Old Faithful, which can rocket water up to 180 feet into the air every 90 or so minutes, never ceases to blow people away.
