Friends, while we're all being distracted by the shitshow that has become our daily life, there is something going on - relatively quietly - in the USA that deserves your attention.
𝗡𝗢𝗪.
Even if you've never reached out to a senator before, TODAY is a good day to take a stand.
PLEASE READ, and if you are as troubled as I am, PLEASE BOOST and SHARE this link everywhere:

Happy Voir Dire Day
For the 1st time ever, Trump has to sit in a courtroom and face the possibility of imprisonment.
It is a good day for the USA.
Smooth vibes for my stressful morning. If you're also having one, I hope this helps.
Here is Kraan with "Silky Way"
(I would have linked the live version, but those mimes only added the stress right back)
Speaking of TFG, here is Eric Woolfson with "Little Hans"
Pinhole projection for solar viewing (eclipse or otherwise) is safe if done correctly.
Here are a couple of videos on how to to that:
FWIW, someone else just posted this article link from NBC News, which also states:
"However, during the few minutes of totality, when the moon is fully blocking the sun, it is safe to look with the naked eye."
This - again - is not intended to be a recommendation by me to anyone. Just stating what I MYSELF will be doing since I AM in the path of 100% coverage (totality).
Not seeing this in the news, I assume for liability reasons. For those same reasons, I'm NOT making a recommendation to you here in this post. However, I will tell you what I'm doing during the eclipse (backed-up by Nasa).
Because I AM in the path of totality (not 99%, not 98%, but 100%), I know that once totality has truly started, I can look DIRECTLY at the eclipse, no glasses, and can continue to do so until the moment that totality ends. I WILL NOT MISS THIS CHANCE.
Day 9: In general I love stories that involve time or time-travel. This book is a collection of fictional dreams and musings by a certain patent office clerk about the nature of time. The stories, exquisite and sweet, will linger in your memory for a very long time.

We all know ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+z, but for example WIN+. brings up the emoji panel. WIN+tab brings up activity history and that's super handy.
Win+V brings up clipboard history (you need to enable that in settings). Again super useful.
Holding Cmd+Opt+P+R whilst booting up will reset the Parameter RAM on your Mac and solve all kinds of freaky issues. (Wait for it to do the start up chime twice before releasing the keys).
Again on a Mac Cmd+i is "get info" for a file and that is handy too.
