As I came across the recent news that Trump had posted a bizarre solar eclipse ad with his head blocking out the sun, plunging the US into darkness, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of the situation. It seems that Trump and his marketing team are spectacularly bad at marketing, as this ad only serves to highlight his egotistical and narcissistic tendencies. The image of his big head casting a shadow over the USA, leaving all citizens shrouded in darkness, is a fitting metaphor for his leadership style – blocking out the light with his ego.
This ad seems to be just another example of Trump’s desperate need for attention and validation.… Continue reading
I cannot believe that Gov. Sanders has declared a state of emergency ahead of the upcoming eclipse. The reasoning behind this decision seems dubious at best, especially considering the absurd suggestions and comments that have surfaced in response to this announcement. The idea that there might be a shortage of essentials due to the influx of eclipse watchers is laughable. Are we really expected to believe that the sun not shining for a few minutes warrants a state of emergency?
It is concerning to see taxpayer money potentially being misused under the guise of preparing for the eclipse. With accusations of funneling funds to herself and her associates, Gov.… Continue reading
As I sit here reading about the outrageous claims of conspiracy theorists suggesting that the eclipse will trigger a massive human sacrifice event, I cannot help but feel a mix of astonishment and bemusement. It is truly mind-boggling how some individuals can still cling to such archaic and irrational beliefs in this day and age. The thought of people actually buying into the idea that sacrificing human lives will somehow bring back the sun is both absurd and disturbing.
The fact that some folks are so entrenched in their delusions that they are actually planning for such a horrific event is unsettling, to say the least.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the upcoming solar eclipse, I can’t help but be drawn to the unique situation at a New York prison. It’s an intriguing scenario where inmates, typically confined indoors, will now have the rare opportunity to step outside and witness this celestial event. The idea of prisoners going out into the yard to view the eclipse almost seems like a scene from a novel by Hemingway, adding a touch of literary flair to what might otherwise be a routine day behind bars.
On the flip side, I find it disheartening that elementary school children are being denied the chance to witness the eclipse firsthand.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the situation where New York inmates are suing to watch the solar eclipse after the state ordered prisons to be locked down, I find myself grappling with mixed feelings. On one hand, I believe that prisons should serve as places for reform and rehabilitation rather than just punishment. The idea of using privileges such as viewing a rare astronomical event as a way to incentivize good behavior and progress towards reformation resonates with me. Allowing prisoners a brief moment to witness the wonders of nature could be a powerful tool for fostering a sense of humanity and connection to the world beyond the prison walls.… Continue reading
