For that money, Disney should be like Carmy's restaurant: I should have Disney executives loitering in my back garden, ready to overhear my random mutterings about what I'd like to see on telly, and then go back and do everything in their power to make it happen.

They're actually making a TV version of Upgrade (the 2018 film). The same creator is involved so it could be good fun.

Mostly ASMR - it's how I get to sleep.

Also, Pitch Meeting, which I sometimes watch instead of the film.

Given this, you might just be seeing the generic cloudflare page for when a server can't respond right now.

I was looking for similar cases, where inconvenient buildings accidentally fall down, and whether anything actually happens.

For the Punchbowl Inn:

In April 2022, Ribble Valley Council ordered that the Punch Bowl must be rebuilt to its original plan based on architecture records. On 5 December 2022, five people were found guilty at Burnley Magistrates Court of illegally demolishing the structure. The group were due to be sentenced at Burnley Magistrates Court on 24 January but the hearing was adjourned until 8 March. At sentencing, the group were required to pay a combined £70,000 in fines and court costs. As of June 2023, the reconstruction process had not yet started.

For the Carlton Tavern (fell over in 2015)

By April 2019, most of the pub's missing exterior had been rebuilt. In late February 2020, the pub had still not reopened, and Westminster City Council was once again considering taking action against its owners. On 19 January 2021, CLTX changed its name by resolution to Carlton Vale Ltd. On 12 April 2021, the pub reopened with the lifting of COVID restrictions.

I fear it's going to be limited by Lemmy's naïve interpretation of NSFW (only equating it with porn), so many people who haven't changed the 'Show NSFW' checkbox off from the default won't see any of the posts.

If Lemmy's spoiler tags were more widely supported, I'd suggest an alternative of posting inline images in the body of post, hid by spoiler tags, but they're not, so I won't.

Tragically, her opponent never did learn to jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace.

"It's a world where you're judged by what you say and think, not by what you look like" is some very 90s optimism about the Internet.

It can certainly seem that way sometimes. Shows like The Handmaid's Tale have been circling the drain of their own premise for a few years now. A big part of it, I think, is that they want to keep their main cast for as long as possible, which limits the options of what can happen.

Give me a mini-series, or even an anthology series, any day.

They probably do, eventually (same as if you'd edited or deleted a comment)

OP is not showing as a bot on lemmy.world, so - at the very least - it won't affect their future posts.

log into lemmy.world, ideally from a browser, not an app or a frontend, click your account in the top-right and choose settings. Then it's this one:

Unrelated to your question, but you seem to have ticked the option in your settings that indicate that you are a bot, so anyone with a blanket ban on bots won't see anything you write.

I literally did this yesterday.

I've since found chats with Bing are surprisingly informative.
