Sunday Overnight Open Thread - June 28, 2026 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Sunday ONT. Hope your weekend has been a good one. Open thread, as always. Fashion and music, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

***

So it's Sunday. First day of the week. Ever wonder why we have seven days in a week? Of course you have!

Why Is a Week 7 Days?

The seven-day week is so deeply baked into modern life that it feels almost inevitable. Workdays, weekends, school schedules, streaming release dates — nearly everything runs on the same seven-day rhythm. But there’s nothing especially natural about a week. Unlike a year, a month, or a day, it doesn’t neatly correspond to a major astronomical event.
While a year is tied to Earth’s orbit around the sun, a month is roughly one full cycle of moon phases, and a day is one rotation of Earth on its axis, the length of a week isn’t cut and dry. So why is it seven days instead of, say, five, eight, or 12?
The seven-day week has endured for thousands of years, surviving empires, revolutions, religious shifts, and even a few determined attempts to replace it. Its origins lie in a mix of astronomy, astrology, religion, and ancient practicality — with a healthy dose of historical debate.

Check out the whole thing. Be a history nerd!

My predecessor as Sunday Night ONT host would often feature a "Genius Award Winner" segment. I'd like to foray into those waters tonight.

Man Uses Massage Gun on His Eyes with Disastrous Consequences

Doctors Niamh O’Connell ‍‍and Ashraf Khan were shocked when the unnamed patient showed up at an eye treatment center in the Scottish capital, because both of his eyes were in terrible shape. His right eye had multiple retinal tears, widespread retinal bruising, and a condition called retinal dialysis, while the left eye also had significant retinal bruising and six small horseshoe tears.
***
Left without a real explanation, the doctors asked the patient about anything “untoward involving the eyes,” and that was when he reluctantly told them that he had been using a percussive massage gun both around and directly on both eyes, on a weekly basis, for around three months. He hadn’t noticed anything unusual until a few days prior to his visit to the eye treatment center, when he started seeing floaters and flashing lights in his right eye.
***
The young patient reportedly used the massage gun on his eyes to relieve the feeling of tiredness, but the percussive action had unintended consequences. The massage gun is believed to have rapidly compressed the eyeballs back, causing them to squish out from the sides, leading to retinal dialysis.

How'd I do, Mis Hum?

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

The Evolution of Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses have transformed dramatically over eight centuries from clunky medieval tools reserved for scholars to sleek, high-tech accessories.

Long before modern spectacles, people experimented with magnification. Ancient Romans and Greeks used polished crystals or water-filled globes as simple magnifiers. In China, smoky quartz panes served as early eye protection as far back as the 12th century.

The first true wearable eyeglasses emerged in northern Italy around 1286–1290. These “rivet spectacles” featured two convex lenses set in frames connected by a rivet at the bridge. Worn by balancing them on the nose or holding them by hand, they primarily were used by scholars for reading.

The 18th century introduced temple glasses with side arms. However, many preferred discreet handheld styles like lorgnettes, elegant opera glasses with a handle. Monocles emerged as a sophisticated accessory for the upper class. Benjamin Franklin’s bifocals (around 1784) added functionality.

Mass production made glasses more accessible. Pince-nez (“pinch the nose” became hugely popular; spring-loaded clips gripped the nose without temples. Often attached to a chain or cord, they projected an intellectual or bourgeois image. Monocles reinforced upper-class sophistication. Glasses increasingly signaled education and refinement.

The 20th century marked the true shift from medical necessity to style statement.

1920s–1930s:

Round metal or tortoiseshell frames dominated, evoking the Jazz Age and intellectual chic. Women began wearing them more openly as fashion accessories.

1940s–1950s:

Browline frames (half-rim with prominent upper plastic or horn) became iconic for men, think Buddy Holly, projecting a smart, modern masculinity. For women, dramatic cat-eye frames symbolized femininity and confidence. Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe helped popularize upswept, playful shapes

1960s:

Round wire-rim or teashade glasses exploded with the counterculture movement. John Lennon’s round frames became synonymous with peace, rebellion, and artistic expression. Oversized and geometric shapes also emerged.

1970s:

Aviator styles exuded cool, adventurous masculinity. Oversized square or geometric frames captured the disco era. Sunglasses trends heavily influenced ophthalmic eyewear.

1980s:

Large, colorful plastic frames dominated, think bright reds, neons, and geometric shapes. They matched the era’s bold power suits and shoulder pads. Oversized was in for both men and women.

Late 20th to Early 21st Century:

Designer brands (Gucci, Chanel, Ray-Ban) turned glasses into luxury items. The 1990s favored thin metal frames and minimalist looks, while the 2000s saw hipster revivals of round and Wayfarer styles.

And in 2026? Oversized and architectural frames dominate, but with more thoughtful proportions than previous years. Expect deep bevels, volumetric acetate, thick fronts, and sculptural details that play with light and shadow. These create strong presence while remaining wearable.

The palette leans toward calm sophistication with new neutrals taking center stage:

Soft sage, sand, dusty rose, powdery olive, and slate metallics

Warm tortoise remains a perennial favorite

Tone-on-tone combinations (frame and lens in harmonious shades) create refined cohesion

Bold accents appear as pops: rich reds, teals, purples, and metallic shines.

Current trends build on historical evolution: the cat-eye glamour of the 1950s, the counterculture rounds of the 1960s, and the bold plastics of the 1980s all echo in today’s revivals, now elevated with better materials, comfort, and technology - something that is a discussion topic on it’s own.

30 Eyeglasses fashion is limited when you're a male of significant hat size. "Choose from these rectangular-ish wire frames in one of 3, or possibly even 4, strikingly similar styles."

Or try to wear glasses for a person with a normal-sized head with the bows..... bowed out. Looks kinda silly.

37 I have worn glasses for most of my adult life. I do not like them. When I was younger I could not afford lasik. Now that I am past 29, I think, what's the point?

My next set of glasses will not be bi-focals. Why? Because they are useless. I take my glasses off to read my computer monitors. So what's the point? Single lens next time.

All that aside, I loathe eyeglasses to make one look smart, or edumacated. Stupid Hollyweird posers. Blech!!

Love that Marc Cohn song!

Only once in Memphis in college. Tried tequila (to kill you) for the first time with very bad results.

This song is great!!!

My first pair of eyeglasses, 5th grade,was a disaster. Mother picked out cat eye glasses and sort of flesh toned and hideous because I was only 10yrs and my eyes were dilated.

Thank God for contact lens at age 16yrs! Until Then I only wore them in class. If I did not know the color of shirt you wore that day I probably did not say hi.

42 I liked the “cats eye” grandma glasses the ladies wore in the 1960’s. Often or usually paired with those thin scarf things worn in their hair.

Skinny or straight ties looked nice. I’m not sure what happened, but sometime in the late 1960s and 1970s fat, garish ties and polyester prevailed, along with stupid hairstyles. The past is a different country, so the saying goes. But the 1970s were a different planet.

Posted by: Tuna

They weren't much better in the '90s.

Chemical reactions are moderated by temperature. Wear them outside in the -25F in the winter, and they don't clear up until they also warm up. So, ~15 minutes to clear up indoors. I called them my John Lennon glasses and never bought a pair again. Carrying a separate pair of sunglasses is fine.

68 It's worth mentioning that one no longer needs to go to the store to see how a pair of glasses will look on your face. There are many online purveyors who will use your computer's camera to superimpose the glasses on your face. Sure, they're scraping your image, but it still makes the process much easier. There is no longer the need to endure nose oils from all the preceding tryers-on.

Do check out the near-full (99.3%) Moon tonight. It's the lowest of the year, rising and setting about as far south as it gets. This is due to an 18.6 nodal precession cycle. Anyway the Moon's orbit is inclined close to the maximum, about 28.5 degrees it can get. The peak of that 18.6 year cycle was around Dec. 2024, but it's slow, and because of the timing/alignment of the full Moon points, this month is about as low as it was in June of last year.

It's also near apogee, so this is a micromoon. A low, small Moon.

While you could tell the difference in size if a big perigee full moon was next to a micromoon right there in sky, the difference is otherwise not noticeable. Anyway, low on the horizon near rise and set, it will looming large and yellow.

78 They weren't much better in the '90s.

Chemical reactions are moderated by temperature. Wear them outside in the -25F in the winter, and they don't clear up until they also warm up. So, ~15 minutes to clear up indoors. I called them my John Lennon glasses and never bought a pair again. Carrying a separate pair of sunglasses is fine.

She's in good spirits (she usually is). They've been pumping her full of lasix, and she's pee'd out a bunch. Her kidney function was a concern, but at this point, with the fluid build up on her lungs, they've got to get that down, and just hope it's not too bad for her kidney function.

Her blood pressure is still on the high side, but not quite as bad as it was yesterday. Her heart rhythm is showing afib, and she's throwing PVCs every so often, but nothing really bad. Her heart is 96 years old, and is just flat wearing out. No heart disease in the usual sense we think of it, just old age wearing it out.

It mentions how the Germanic cultures used the names of Norse gods, but glosses over how they just took the Roman names and made direct substitutions.
Mars’ Day became Tiw’s Day, but it’s still Martes in Spanish . Mercury’s Day became Wodens Day, but back there it’s still Miercoles.

Looking at it right now! Always love to see it. I remember times when it’s come up due east, but tonight it’s shining through the pecan tree on the far south side of my yard.

162 Diddling your intern with a cigar in the Oval Office and lying about it to the entire country is not at all degrading.

To be fair, the boys weren't exactly breaking down the doors to date Lewinsky, so you could see the cigar episode as an act of Christian charity.

On the road he said, Brae, look in the glove box, see the leather packet, take it out. He said it as if it were a precious stone. I took it out and handed it to him. I was a black snakeskin case. He opened it and took out tiny gold wire framed blue glasses. He thought he had levitated to the next level.
