Dang, Chairface Chippendale was a hack.
I dread the possibility of controlled nuclear fusion and petajoule laser technology being combined in Donald Trump's lifetime. Imagine a billboard that everyone can see at night.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There was a company that wanted to sell billboards in space. They were simultaneously telling potential customers how everybody would be able to see their space billboard and telling everybody else the billboards would not be that noticeable.
The project died, probably because it was both extremely expensive and extremely stupid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it's unlikely I'm having the best years of my life right now, but I don't see any reason they couldn't start next week...I've liked pretty much all of my life except the parts with the distracting pain, so we'll see.

I'm driving a couple of hours north to catch the annular eclipse. Probably doing the pinhole thing to see it, is that effective for annular? I think I've only seen partials before.

We are way out of the zone, sadly, for the eclipse. But! I should look up whether the local observatory has any events this summer.
EDIT: They do! And they are awesome!

I remember a SF story in Analog back in the 70s/80s called "Jill the Giant Killer" where they used tac nukes to disrupt giant tornados. What a brave new world we used to live in.
