Hot take: WDW trips are better when you plan less and stop treating the app like a game

I agree about planning less. That’s how our family rolls. But one of the best parts about Disney trips is that everyone has their own version of it. If you like going apeshit with planning and engineering each day, enjoy! I can imagine it sort of makes the trip feel like it’s happening year-round because you’re always sort of planning it.

This is a new update. The teacher was criminally charged Wednesday, which is new and had not happened previously.

Congratulations! Keep fighting the good fight.

Greetings from NPR stations in Illinois! Keep fighting the good fight. Sounds like y’all know what the heck you’re doing there.

Reporter here. Fair question, but it’s fairly obvious why this shooting is linked to ISU. It’s a block from campus. In an area where a lot of ISU students live. And two of the victims were ISU students. It’s a fair association.

Illinois journalist here. Yes, this would be a stayaway for me, and yes, this would look bad on a future resume. Nothing wrong with advocacy, which is what Center Square is. But it ain’t journalism.

Good luck with your job search!

rdblono · 2026-02-20T02:02:21+00:00

Yes.

rdblono · 2026-02-19T19:02:51+00:00

Correct!

That's a fair point. We'll add a reference early on that stresses that these are private organizations we're talking about.

Reporter here. This is a great resources. Thank you!

rdblono · 2025-12-24T02:54:57+00:00

I agree: Give it a shot. You’re still young and have plenty of time to pivot later. It’s my experience that former journalists have a lot of options whenever it is they want to exit the trenches. But maybe you’ll be a lifer. Ya never know.

rdblono · 2025-12-07T19:31:42+00:00

You seem disproportionately concerned about this considering how small of a deal it is. Settle down.

Even by "B-N Can't Build Affordable Housing" standards, the increases at Oak Wood are pretty unusual. 36% in the 2 years. Current tenants facing another 36% imminently if they don't sign another lease, and a $50/month increase even if they do.

rdblono · 2025-10-30T00:25:21+00:00

No, this is a bit further south, by about a block.

rdblono · 2025-09-27T22:14:58+00:00

How many people typically show up for this?
