Gotta say nothing shows the level of americanisation of media/internet than with this eclipse. Last year state in Australia (Western Australia) had complete totality of an eclipse in a dinky little town up north. It was inundated with tourists from around Australia and the world - we even had NASA scientists fly in for study.
I'm based in the only city of our hugeass state (Perth) and while we didn't get totality it was probably the most significant eclipse I've seen in recent memory. It was present in shadows, and there was a significant temperature drop during the experience.
Internationally? News probably didn't make a blip.
Meanwhile I'm sitting in my office overhearing the BBC on the tv (so british news) talking about an American solar eclipse like it's more significant? 🤷♀️
Anyway here's some of my pics of our eclipse last year: we had 72% coverage where I was, managed to catch some of the crescent shadows beneath our paperbark tree (I thank tumblr for bestowing this knowledge years ago).

The Tragedy of Touya Todoroki
Touya: Hey Dad, could you pay attention to m--
Endeavor: No.
Touya: Hey Mom, could you support me?
Rei: I wish I could, I wish I knew how, but I don’t, so no.
Touya: Hey Natsu, could you be angry with me so I at least have a friend in this?
Natsuo: I’m like, 7 here and don’t fully understand the situation yet and it’s 3am, so no.
Touya: Okay, so I tried to help myself and ended up burning alive on accident, which caused me to get stuck in a coma for 3yrs, and now I’m in this creepy daycare hospital where they sewed me up with other people’s skin and possibly limbs, and a voice from a TV is talking to me...
AFO: Hi, I’m AFO. Your quirk’s too fucked for me to get any use out of you, but I could train you and then you’d be--
Touya: No. I want my dad to train me and I gotta apologize to my mom, fuck you.
Touya: Dad! Dad, I’m not dead! This creepy guy kidnapped me while I was in a coma and was gonna train me and a bunch of kids so he could turn us into these monsters, and also he spliced my body up like this, but I got away and ran all the way back home! It was really scary and I’m sorry that I was mean, do you think now you could--
Endeavor, too busy beating the shit out of Shouto to notice him: Touya was almost perfect, but still a disappointment! I know you can surpass him!
Touya: .....
Touya: Oh.
Dabi: Cool, it’s been eight years and now I’m a wanted terrorist that’s killed at least thirty people. Gonna kill my dad and my baby brother next! Does anybody wanna give a shit? Feel bad for me? Do something about the corruption in Hero society and stop worshiping them blindly? Hold my dad accountable for creating the conditions that turned me into a villain, kinda like how you hold me accountable for being a villain?
Literally the whole of Japan: Ugh, Dabi is so annoying.
Dabi: Bet. Back to the arson and double murder-suicide then!

irvinis replied to your post "dustylyric replied to your post I'm amazed by the...”
Michael is very active - names for rats, "secrets between me and my Angel", helping artists. Someone is very bored.
It certainly seems like it. The "secrets" tweet is a personal favorite, of course:
I'm not sure why Michael is so active on Twitter right now (though I could think of a few reasons why he'd need the distraction). But what seems very clear is that he is brimming over with excitement to talk about GO 2 and all of his feelings and thoughts on it. So much more engagement with the fandom since season 2 came out at the end of July, giving little tidbits that are already sending us into apoplexy.
Just imagine what we are in store for once the SAG/WGA strikes are resolved and he can fully and openly talk about it. Imagine what he'll say about the kiss, the hands touching during the Ball, staring heatedly at David/Crowley during the scene with Muriel...oh, so many possibilities. I think Michael is aching to scream about all of it, and I absolutely cannot wait to see it...
