for everyone who's relatively close to the eclipse totality path i would suggest trying to go if you can at all, even if it's inconvenient, because it is honestly a life-changing experience to see a total eclipse of the sun while it's a funny anecdote to see even a 98% eclipse.

This website is very cool btw: https://eclipsefan.org/

It lets you place a point on the map, and it will simulate a horizon profile using the geography + a timeline of the eclipse from that location

Wondering why countries have “AI” secretaries and ministers now but not ones for fixing climate change and making people not die in heatwaves

Most people don't have blogs these days, and don't have enough long form thoughts to justify it. Also blog hosting isn't free.

The fedi equivalent of a blog / tumbler is Plume which isn't free.

I *do* have a blog, but a 5 post thread (2,500 characters) really isn't enough text to justify a blog post.

This is your friendly reminder that if you're a #mastodon user who regularly has something more to say than you can fit in 500 characters, I have a tool for that.

FediThready will break your long thoughts into multiple posts. It supports images, posting as a reply, and more.

Even better, NONE of the data flows through my server. Once you've loaded the page everything happens on your computer.

Hey, #Trump and his goons made sure this guy was in the headlines every day when they were trying to destroy him in a fit of petulant rage; let's make sure this headline gets spread at least as widely:
