This is the FINAL ROUND of a double elimination tournament to determine the best K.K. song. If a song loses once, it gets sent to the secondary bracket for a second chance to win. Bubblegum won the primary bracket, while Disco won the secondary bracket, with Disco’s one loss being an extremely close match against Bubblegum in the final round of primary bracket. It’s still anybody’s game!
its called the D: drive because you look at how much space is left on it and you go “D:”
why is this mom joke getting notes
bc its true
you know how people do desperate last-minute house cleaning when they want to impress visitors? i can picture the teenage turtles doing this. hiiiii older counterparts please wait right here for five minutes and don't look behind the curtain (HIDE THE GARBAGE! TIDY THE KITCHEN! DAD PUT ON YOUR NICE ROBE) (don't they already know the lair is a mess? technically this is their mess too if you think about it?) (DOESN'T MATTER. GRAB A BROOM)
Meanwhile, the future turtles’ standards of cleanliness are so skewed by the apocalypse that they genuinely don’t care about the mess. Whether it’s their own or someone else’s haha
Still thinking about brand new mutated Dad Splinter figuring out the dynamics between his children. It wasn’t until I was lining some of this that I realized the unintentional angst in this cute comic, because Splinter seeing how distraught Leo and Donnie are at being separated would hit a little too close to home for him.
This is your friendly heads-up that if you want to travel to see the total solar eclipse coming up in the spring, now* is a good time to start making your arrangements!
This one will be visible as at least a partial eclipse to most of North America, with the path of totality cutting a diagonal from Sinaloa, Mexico to Newfoundland, Canada, including 15 US states from Texas to Maine.
Although we just had one a few years ago in 2017, we won’t have another solar eclipse visible in the continental US until 2045–and the path of totality for the 2024 one is within driving distance for a much larger proportion of the US population than either 2017 or 2045. The Northeastern US won’t see another until the 2070’s.
For millions of people, including me, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a total solar eclipse without getting on a plane. Hotels in major cities along the path of totality are already starting to fill up.
Last time, in 2017, I was able to see the partial eclipse from where I live, but it wasn’t feasible to travel to see the totality. I heard from people who did see the totality that it’s really quite something, so I decided back then that I was going to go to this one. (The one in 2079 might be a bit closer to where I currently live, but I’ll be 101 by then, so I figure I’d better not wait.)
Erie, PA is the closest place for me to see it, and I figured I’d camp. I started looking into it last night, and pickings are pretty slim already. I lucked into a camping cottage at a park 20 minutes’ drive outside the path of totality–I think someone must’ve cancelled recently, for me to get it, because out 87 spots, all they had left was 9 tent/trailer sites, and the one cottage.
So anyway, if you want to go, it’s an overnight trip for you, and you don’t want to end up sleeping in your car at a rest area, now’s* the time!
(*Actually several months ago would have been the best time, but the second-best time is now.)
Hey. Hey. Hey.
Buy your solar eclipse glasses and solar lens covers for your camera now.
I saw the 2017 eclipse and it was one of the coolest things I’d ever witnessed.
