At Ace of Spades HQ there's a good recap of the perfeshinul meedi-uh and their sooper-smirt response to this ad. Ace notes that they've adopted their "feigned autism" reaction, pretending to be puzzled by this "bizarre" ad. The word bizarre appears in nearly every MSM response, so you know the memo has gone out. But - they just can't make head nor tail of it. Further proof of the stoopitude of the lowbrow sloping forehead flyover morons. Because, hur hur hur, they act like it's funny or something.
ReplyDeleteLord, how I despise these people. There are no words to describe how I feel... that will not land me on a watch list, where I probably already reside.
"Feigned autism" - perfect description!
ReplyDeleteCan I add, as some kind of expert because I was an accepted member of the local Amateur Astronomers association some years ago, that Trump is right and Biden is wrong about what is a 'safe' way to view the eclipse.
ReplyDeleteThese goofy glasses are not generally safe for everyone, while Trump merely glanced up at the sun with squinted eyes the way humans have done for millions of years, relying on natural instincts which tell you when to avert your gaze - you feel discomfort or pain when it's too much. And that's how you should always view the sun - with extreme caution.
The glasses otoh give a false sense of security with people staring directly at the sun way past what is safe - and now thousands are reporting 'burning' sensations as a result!
Oh but 'science' they'll say. Look here in Australia top scientists have always said it's never safe to look directly at the sun, and never recommend 'safe' glasses or any other method. Yes if your very careful you may be ok, but it's never 'safe'.
-One of the reasons I quit Am Astronomy is I got some retina damage from watching sunspots, it's real. Thankfully that was 55 years ago and the effect has faded.
As my old man used to say when describing something good.
ReplyDelete"It's the duck's nuts".
I saw a solar eclipse way back when, and I was seeing spots for days after even though I had the glasses. Didn't bother this time. I just sat on the patio and watched it get really dark for a minute or two without looking at the sun. It's great to witness a celestial event like that, but I once watched a total lunar eclipse and I thought it was more impressive. The moon turned red and you could tell it was a globe, not a flat disk.

ReplyDeleteYep, that's pretty much the way I do it.
They tried the "look how dumb Trump is, he doesn't use "proper eye protection" (quote NBC) like we smart people do" thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's all bollocks. Only astronomers have 'proper' equipment to view the sun directly: I had a professionally made black glass filter attached to my telescope's eye piece. But even that can go very wrong in a second: When I was changing the eye piece my retina got hit with pure amplified sunlight and I saw spots for years! A moment's lapse and years of aftereffects.
Bruce: That's pretty wild! I do try to be a little more careful, now that I'm what Rush Limbaugh called a "seasoned" citizen. My father suffered from macular degeneration, and I understand unfiltered sunlight can play a role in that illness.
ReplyDeleteWell I was young and reckless. There was probably a warning I ignored - it was 55 years ago as I say!
ReplyDeleteBut macular degeneration is pretty bad - you can see the periphery fine but the center of your vision is blurred. I used to take an old lady shopping who had that - she could see stuff but couldn't read the prices, and reading glasses were no use.
