I got in a lot of trouble as a kid for reading #ChooseYourOwnAdventure books. My parents and teachers didn't consider them "real books."
The Publisher of 'Choose Your Own Adventure' Is Now Aiming for Adult Readers

@sleepbaseball.bsky.social Congrats on the AMA! Saw a comment about box scores. A few months ago I used Claude to build game notes from the audio transcripts, tracking the drama. Some prototypes:

Argh! It's Talk Like a Pirate Day! 🏴☠️ Our concept of how pirates may have talked was indelibly impacted by the iconic performance of Disney Legend Robert Newton as Long John Silver in Disney's first completely live-action feature, "Treasure Island" (1950).

Has anyone told Disney Imagineering?
“Tony [Gilroy] finally turned to me, and he said, ‘Hey, you just got to stop pitching plot. Plot is bullshit. Plot is what happens when you get the behavior right. Pitch me a line of dialogue, pitch me atmosphere, pitch me something visual. Stop pitching stuff that happens.’” 1/2

If you archive enough Disneyland stuff, eventually you end up with some oddball things you can't explain.
Here's a 1990s concept for "Disney's Entertainment City" outside the Main Entrance you have definitely never seen before.
