And ESPN. Which is the only way I can watch the sports teams of my alma mater, Wright State, here in West Virginia. (Their league, the Horizon League, appears to have a deal with ESPN for streaming through their Watch ESPN app.)

TBH, ESPN is the 800-pound gorilla of sports programming in general. Sunday night baseball, Monday Night football, college football, MLS, NBA, and on and on down the list.

No Fox’s news division will remain independent. Disney is buying the film and television entertainment divisions (including all previous works such as The Simpsons or x-men).
 
The man doesn’t sound very bright, and comes off as someone who stereotypes others.
 
Interesting, thanks. Still it’s a big takeover of another liberal company that goes against many Catholic core values.
 
Well at least EW & the movie made good money. She earned between $3 million to $15 million range.
 
All this talk of Beauty and the Beast is missing the real problems with the movie:

An eleven year old prince answers the door to his castle (huh?), and because he won’t allow a stranger into his home, he and the entire household are cursed unless he can find true love by the age of twenty-one???

🤨 Are you kidding me???​

 
Just an aside: Has anyone ever noticed how many Disney characters have no mom?
 
I don’t think there are many Amish who aren’t Old Order. The Amish I’ve come across who aren’t Old Order tend to be those who left the church, so I’m not entirely sure if they’re still Amish, if that makes sense. The guy who owns the company that put a new roof on my house is very definitely from an Amish background, but I’m not sure he’s technically Amish.

The Mennonites have a much broader spectrum of adherents. In many cases, you wouldn’t even know they’re Mennonite if they didn’t tell you. I have Mennonite friends up the street and they’re as secular as everyone else, and politically “Progressive/Liberal.”
 
Well, to be fair, when it was written - meaning the original fairy tale - people were married younger and died on average far younger than we do now.

Most are, but they’re not the single Ordnung of Amish that exist. Not all Amish are “old order”, by far.

Mennonites also have “Old Order” groups, though with them the converse is true: most aren’t that conservative.
 
I live in Amish country and I see young Amish at Buffalo Wild Wings having drinks, watching the game and some are on phones. That might be the thing where they leave for a year though, I don’t remember what it is called?

Did you ever notice how many figures in the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson have no mom? Dealing with the “wicked stepmother” is a very common theme in children’s stories from times past, because many, many women used to die in childbirth or at a young age. So stepchildren and orphans were much more common than today.
