I'm chuckling at how quintessentially US-centric eclipse conspiracy theories are.
Colombian newspapers recently suggested a city six hours from Medellín where people might get a sliver of the view, but also pointed out that people can "just" wait until 2044, when one will be visible here.
But if an eclipse is happening over 'Murica, THAT'S IT. That's the bat signal for the apocalypse! 🤣 If you do plan to ascend, though, please be sure to keep the rest of us in mind when writing your wills. 😘
:/ Again I'm left to think that maybe we aren't ready for democracy, if the electorate still includes that level of profound scientific illiteracy.
(Which sucks, because the dominant alternative is worse. We are effed.)

People around here have been joking about "oooo an earthquake, better go pray."
At this point, it's gotten hard to tell when someone is joking or serious! 🙄 🤷 😂
