The evening was hectic, and I almost forgot about the #LunarEclipse. I had literally just put my son to bed when I remembered, "The #eclipse!" We went out to see if the sky was clear.

Clouds were rushing across the sky, but for the most part, it was clear, and we had a perfect view of the #moon looking like a dark brown chunk of rock in the sky.

(Then I spent 10 minutes fighting with camera settings while he went back to bed.)

Proof that people who disagree with AOC ideas only do so because they're bigots: they love high tax redistributive policy ideas when Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, and others advocate for them.

Had a surprising and fun brief conversation about fountain pens at work today.

: Trump said the food was piled a mile high.

Result : false. The food didn't literally tower one mile high. Impeach! Immediately! Liar!

Next up? : Trump once mentioned sunrise. Fact check false, the sun doesn't actually rise, the earth rotates. Trump must be a flat earther! Impeach! Now!

I wish I hadn't switched to a double edge razor years ago, so that I could drop their products now..

The federal "shutdown" would more accurately be called a default. It hasn't suspended any functions; it's just stopped paying for them.

Standard business practice is that paying employees comes ahead of nearly all other obligations, but Washington has defaulted on salaries. The answer to this ought to be healthy distrust in the federal government, but it's just going to be more partisan battles with no thought of fundamentals.

Get a double edge razor and stop buying from them. Also it's a more manly way to shave. Probably less toxic too, since it doesn't create as much garbage..

Democrats now in favor of foreign wars because Trump isn't.

A good example of the halo effect? If Trump is literally worse than Hitler then everything he does should be opposed... and he wants to withdraw military forces, then I guess the anti Hitler thing to do is engage in more war.

I've wondered if there's motivation to shrink the size of government a tiny bit this shut down by getting government employees into the private sector where there's the record low unemployment rate.
