My town had rooms going for $499 per night, 3 night minimum, nonrefundable. My town ain’t fucking around lol.

Funny how Trump was quick to condemn Barcelona as Terror and didn’t decide to blame the people in the way of the van for their deaths.
I know this seems counter-intuitive because it is a complex game with a ton going on and a crowd of people, but I always recommend craps as a go-to casino game for the following reasons:
My dad booked three hotel rooms hoping to later convince people to join him. I now get to take advantage of that! Have no idea whether I’m expected to reimburse him for the room... I think I’ll just not mention it and see if he asks lol.
This is good parenting. It contains threats AND taking advantage of natural phenomena. Have you considered a career in Improv?
Anything to distract from Trump.
I bought my glasses (actually a ten pack, to give some away) a month ago, and thankfully did all my homework to avoid the scams (a scammer was selling under the same listing!). I’m only getting 64% of an eclipse in MA, and it makes me actually really bummed. I will be nerdier and more prepared for 2024!
The founders were pieces of shit, pretty much without exception, and I have no problem with tearing down every likeness of them ever assembled. But it does not follow that because Confederate statues are coming down, all statues must come down. Even a very small child knows better than that.
I got welding goggles (shade 17. I think 14 or higher is what they recommend) from Lowes.
Now playing
It’s just kinda cool? Here’s a video from the 2006 eclipse in Turkey.
Oh, we’ve lucked out big time on this because when we were at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston this summer they were making them and handing them out to kids. So we got one!
Portland here. We’re about seventeen miles north and basically the main gateway to the state, so we’re seeing lots of preparation for all sorts of reasons. The main tips we’re hearing: Get your car refueled and get your groceries *now*. If possible, go outside the path of the totality for this. If possible, take…
I just happen to be visiting my dad in Idaho when this happens. Not a huge eclipse nerd, but being able to do something special with my 82-year old dad is a treat.
He may be the most powerful person in our society, but is it safe to say that he is the least powerful “most powerful person” since at least Gerald Ford?
God. Damnit.
I am not sure that that is necessarily genius. My 5 yr old does that all the time when he gets in trouble, “Hey, buddy, did you do this bad thing that got you in trouble?” “Daddy did you know I like Pokemon and I own a restaurant in Charlottesville”.
Not really. If you read and watch the interviews of the organizers, it was about organizing and showing that they had numbers and could put aside their petty differences. The statue protest was simply cover for this.
I keep waiting for the Trump presidency to reach critical mass when he tweets, “If there can be a BLACK history month, how is it racist to have a WHITE history month?”
There’s a sick genius in Trump’s tweets though. In one morning, he has changed the entire subject of conversation about Charlottesville to being about Confederate statues. Now look at how the media has responded; all of these talking heads and academics talking about the history and appropriateness of Confederate…
