If someone is trying to convince you of some fact-lite cosmic magic that involves both and eclipse and a new moon, a reminder that all eclipses are at new moon because they wouldn’t work very well with the sun and moon on opposite sides of Earth.

Soccer fans in the US almost seem to act like a player’s car getting vandalized when the team is shit is some rational expectation for the sport. Call me nuts, but I don’t think athletes should experience property damage for not playing well.

I swear to Carl that social media has, for the most part, turned into the AP feature we used to get called Today in History. Everyone who wants to get that engagement finds that damn list of birthdays and “on this day” stuff and fills half our feeds with it. You know, could’ve read it in 2 mins.
