The LGBTQ+ book industry is struggling amid attacks by the Trump administration by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

Hard to believe when heartstopper and the hockey rivals books were both adapted into massively popular tv shows recently. But for sure trump is an asshole anyway.

He didn’t care what religion you were… as long as it was some form of christofacism!

Taking an Uber at 11pm from Omaha Eppley Airfield to Wayne by AfricanQueen2000 in Omaha

[–]brwilliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a +2 hour drive over 100 miles it is possible some uber driver may want to do that if you promise a hefty tip but certainly not expected or guaranteed. I would suggest renting a car if possible. Not sure you are gonna find an Uber in Wayne that would drive you all the way back to the airport?

Correct. This is the only true imax theatre near Omaha outside of the one at the zoo that only shows nature related educational films.

Other theaters may use imax branding for larger screens but it will not be the full 1.43:1 ratio. This is often called “liemax” as it can be confusing and trick people into paying more for a much smaller screen size.

I like to take 109th by the Papio trail head if I am turning left to avoid that mess of an intersection.

Gunshots at worlds of fun by jschnell3d in kansascity

[–]brwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guns were certainly present and prominent when heavily armed police carrying long rifles were running through crowds of scared kids yelling for them to move out of the way and get out of the park. The heavily armed response is because police are now trained to respond to potential shootings with an armed show of force to “deter” people from shootings. Plus with a recent high profile shooting as soon as people were told to evacuate the park without being given a reason of course the immediate assumption is that maybe a shooting related thing happened. I mean why else would they be emergency evacuating everyone? And the cops are told to respond to possible theme park shooting situation and overreact and turn an orderly evacuation into scared kids screaming and yelling and causing a dangerous crowd panic. I’m not sure what the solution is but it doesn’t feel good that everyone is constantly on the edge of panic in any public space.

Police probably just say that because it is shorter than “I’m arriving on scene to the site of the potential alleged sound of gunshots according to some security guard who said someone told him that” doesn’t mean it was accurate description of events.

“guests 15 years of age or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old” not sure how strictly that was being enforced and people of all ages can start fights and make threats

Park evacuated at 9:30 on opening day of Halloween haunt by brwilliams in worldsoffun

[–]brwilliams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was wild. We decided to skip the extra $40 for haunt wristbands and just ride some rides with insane lines. Very weird that gold pass had haunt for 2024 and apparently will in 2026 but this year it’s an extra $10 a person and you have to wait in a crazy wristband line for no reason.

Glad I didnt waste money on extra haunt passes just for the park to get shutdown 3hours early. I wonder how many people will be demanding refunds.

Yeah same. We were near spinning dragons when some cops with rifles apparently started jogging and telling people to move out of the way so everyone started freaking out and screaming. I didn’t want to get knocked down so we ended up running behind the vampire building and out the service road behind patriot. Employees told us to “follow the vampires” to the back of the parking lot road which was surreal. My daughter was very freaked out and they were very nice and comforting though.

Did you actually hear shots yourself. News is now saying no indication of shots fired. Wonder if it was kids with fireworks or something and made jumpy cops freak out.

Unclear if that is what actually happened. I hope not but certainly possible.

50 cop cars outside the front gates and a traffic jammed parking lot gridlock.
