(Presumably, the only way to stop a bad guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law is a good guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law, and thus transgender-friendly privacy law rights need to be enshrined in the Constitution as well)

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the event is a total lunar eclipse, but it’s made up of a trifecta of other designations for the moon, which is where the words “blood,” “super” and “wolf” play in. During the total lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, which casts a shadow over the moon. According to the Almanac, total lunar eclipses can be viewed without any eye protection, unlike total solar eclipses.
The Almanac states the term “blood moon” comes from dark red color that the moon glows when it’s in the Earth’s shadow.
The word “super” is used to designate a “super moon,” which means the full or new Moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. However, according to the Almanac, most people won’t be able to spot the difference.
As for the “wolf” description, the term originated from Native American tribes and early colonists to define a full moon that occurs in January.

CALLER: Hi. I was just wondering how you were able to get over your bout with agoraphobia, because I have something similar to that as well.
CULKIN: It's just one of these things. I didn't even realize I wasn't leaving the house a lot. I kind of just -- I just kind of, you know, there was always photographers in the bushes and things like that, and there was a lot of things out there that were trying to consume me.
KING: Do you ever go out of your house?
CULKIN: So I almost never left the house. And it was just one of these things, where, you know, one of the reason why I got the dog was to get me out of the house three times a day, at least to just walk around the block and things like that.
KING: If you're a true agoraphobic, you can't go out.
CULKIN: You can't really go out. I mean, it wasn't like -- I wasn't even -- like I was more of just -- it was more of a self- diagnosed agoraphobic. It wasn't like I went to a therapist and he said it. It's just I realized -- I started going outside, and it felt like the buildings were going to eat me. So I kind of just...
KING: That's what happens, right?
CULKIN: It is kind of what happens. And so it is one of those things...
KING: Is it true that you make plans to go out and then always change them?
CULKIN: Sometimes, things like that. Yeah, and you know, I kind of -- but I just kind of started dragging myself out of the house a little bit more and more. I guess the dog helps and things like that. But it's just kind of...
KING: Did you do it yourself, you did not have help?
CULKIN: It was just a matter of realizing where was this coming from, and kind of just figuring it all out for myself. And why was I, you know, why, you know, am I this way, why did I feel the need to, you know, do these things to myself.
KING: You almost wrote to J.D. Salinger...
CULKIN: We were joking about that.
KING: ... a famous writer who's a recluse.
CULKIN: Yeah, yeah, and so I was thinking, you know, when I was especially in that place where I wasn't leaving the house at all, I was like, yeah, wouldn't that be funny if I wrote him a letter. It's like you don't leave the house, I don't leave the house; let's talk.
KING: Do you understand recluses?
CULKIN: Do I understand -- yes, I do. Very much so.
