Universal Studios Japan recently released the first trailer for its in-construction Super Nintendo World attraction, and now Disney has gone one better by building an actual physical model showing off its upcoming Star Wars Land (unofficial title). Due to open in 2019 at both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida, the new area "will transport guests to a never-before-seen planet" — which just happens to look like every weathered, forgettable world characters from the films briefly touch down on to get a ship part or intel or what have you.
There should be plenty to do at the "remote trading port" once you’ve filled your boots with expensive merchandise and your bellies with Yoda burgers. Ride specifics are pretty hazy, but Disney has revealed that visitors will control the Millennium Falcon on a secret mission as part of one signature attraction, while the other main draw will drop guests "in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance."
Star Tours, a Star Wars-inspired flight simulator, and several other attractions were up and running at various Disney parks long before the company waved a check in front of George Lucas he couldn’t pass up. Now Disney owns the rights to the extremely popular franchise, it makes sense to create a more elaborate live experience for fans to visit — especially after the shot-in-the-arm that was the last two movies. Though a few years off completion, anyone visiting Disney World in the future will be able to kill two film-inspired birds with one stone, diving into the mind of James Cameron through the new World Of Avatar experience.

Yesterday, activists advocating for a free and open internet rallied individuals to submit over two million comments and millions of emails and phone calls to the FCC in support of Net Neutrality. Popular sites across the web, from Yelp to Pornhub (and Engadget!), urged users to contact the federal agency and Congress with a singular message: Don’t let internet service providers create faster and slower connections to boost their profit margins.
Internet advocacy nonprofit Fight For The Future tallied the participation numbers, which are still climbing: Five million emails and 124,000 calls to Congress, while protestors actually visited twenty Congressional offices. The two million comments made to the FCC almost tripled the previous record made during the "internet slowdown" advocacy day on September 10th, 2014.
Even if they didn’t take action, tens of millions of users saw the messages plastered across the web. Big sites and services like Reddit, Twitter, Netflix, Spotify, Airbnb and Amazon all either urged advocacy or pointed users to sites like BattleForTheNet.com, which supplied premade form letters to fire off to the FCC and routed users to their Congressional representative’s phone number.
The stock message to the agency, echoed by statements from Google, Facebook, Dropbox, YouTube and internet advocates, is simple: Don’t do anything. During the Obama administration, the FCC officially classified the internet a utility, meaning ISPs (in theory) can’t limit users’ speed or access to sites. Shortly after he was appointed by Trump, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai started vocalizing his disdain for Net Neutrality, calling his agency’s previous support of it a "mistake." Whether yesterday’s activism changes his mind is a question for tomorrow.

A new USB-C adapter and cable from Vinpok will soon return MagSafe-like functionality to the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, complete with 87 watts of charging power.
The Bolt-S cable has a USB-C detachable end that inserts into the computer, with the cable itself held in place with a magnetic ring. Vinpok claims that it is the first and only magnetic power cable solution able to provide full charging power to the 2016 and 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro With Touch Bar.
The cable will not carry data, meaning users will have to plug a standard USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cable into one of the MacBook Pro’s three other ports for external devices and accessories.
The Vinpok Bolt-S will come in black or silver, and will retail at launch for $29 according to company representative.

Hey, it’s not The Onion, but it’s pretty darn close!
In a brilliant video posted by Liberal Revolution via Facebook, a sharply dressed genderqueer individual speaks into the camera to deliver an impassioned, and very much satirical, call-to-arms to his fellow liberals in the revolution.
“Remember how I was talking about how I want everyone to steal ammunition from gun owners’ houses cuz it’s a public health and safety risk,” the liberal rant begins.
But they don’t want to take your ammo from us so we can’t shoot it, their line of thinking is mucho más caliente.
“If there’s a house fire, bullets are gonna go everywhere and they’re gonna kill us!”
Wait – is somebody going around setting gun owners’ houses on fire!?!
The satirical shenanigans continue when he enlists his friend Sabrina to help him break into his new neighbor’s place to steal the ammo they’ve indicated they do not keep in a gun safe, but rather in their laundry room.
WARNING: this is a parody of how liberals really think. You may experience fits of laughter. Some viewers have reported snorting as a result of watching this video. Consult your physician if symptoms persist for more than four hours.
RIP Sabrina: we’ll never forget you.

HILARIOUS!! Liberal Revolution Tries to Steal Ammunition From the Gunnies Next Door
One of humanity’s worst decisions has to be the pairing of darts with bars full of drunk patrons making terrible decisions. Throwing tiny pointed spears when you can barely stand once seemed like a dangerous way to have fun, until the lads at How Ridiculous decided to play darts off a 150-foot-tall observation tower.
From that height the darts hit the board with such force that they leave tiny craters behind when they’re removed. And even with no breeze, you probably don’t want to be anywhere within a 200-foot radius of that board while these Aussies try to hit the bullseye, as those darts aren’t just going to bounce off your head.

Playing Darts off a 150-Foot Tower Is Even More Dangerous Than in a Bar
One of the most mind-boggling discoveries I made while becoming a professional humorist is that a large segment of the general public has no sense of humor. I mean that literally, in the same way that some people can’t tell the difference between good wine and bad, and some people are tone deaf. Humor appreciation is like every other human capacity. Some have it, some don’t.
My best estimate is that about a third of the public don’t possess the capacity to even recognize humor when they see it. But they pretend they do, for social reasons, the same way I used to pretend I liked expensive wine. The reality is that I couldn’t distinguish an ordinary wine from a great one. Both gave me the same type of headache. (I no longer drink alcohol. I see it as poison.)
I don’t mean this post to sound judgy. We all have different skills and different capacities for enjoying different things. I appreciate humor but I don’t get any joy whatsoever from drinking wine, and I don’t have much appreciation for music either. So let us not feel superior for having one type of appreciation that others do not. None of us have the full stack.
In support of my hypothesis that one-third of the public do not even recognize humor when they see it, I give you this satirical video as Exhibit A. On Twitter, lots of folks believed this was serious. Including the part where she mentions Morse Code via blinking.
I made a similarly satirical video yesterday that generated a lot of hate-tweets from Trump supporters who didn’t realize I was joking. To be fair, my video ended with technical difficulties before I could clarify to the audience that I was presenting satire. That made it worse. But the people who are not humor-challenged knew it was a joke from the title alone. See if you can tell I was joking. My video is here.
