Terrible Washington Post Headline

This is a terrible headline. The racist election appeals are being made by Republicans. The headline should say that.https://t.co/pkF5F5iq2F

Ron Johnson is terrible

He’s leading in polls anyway.

Johnson is a pathetic excuse for a human being. https://t.co/6PWrzayOV7

Mr. Johnson stood by his past statements about mouthwash being an effective tool to fight Covid-19.

“I got all kinds of letters of support from dentists and ear-nose-throat guys saying, ‘yeah, that’s what we recommend.’”

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a brutal editorial urging voters to send Republican Ron Johnson packing:

"Johnson is the worst Wisconsin political representative since the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy." https://t.co/GXzNTiM29K

Seems that the @RonJohnsonWI campaign must have gotten worrisome feedback from polls or focus groups after the debate. https://t.co/K6mwCU1cMI

NEWS: Sen. Ron Johnson has hired a law firm to talk about a possible RECOUNT.

The firm? The same one run by a TRUMP attorney – Jim Troupis – who's tied to a "fake elector" scheme and texted Johnson about passing info to Pence before the Jan. 6 riot. https://t.co/F6Mqxc38sz

Nuclear war was a big concern in the 1960s

Putin’s threat to use nuclear war reminded me of how much we were concerned about it when I was young. Concerns about nuclear war were exacerbated by the Cuban Missle Crisis. We had drills at school where we hid under desks. With hindsight, I realize we would have probably been fried anyway. People built fallout shelters to hide underground with provisions to live. The Atomic Cafe is a good documentary on the period.

It was prominent in movies such as Fail-Safe (also a popular and gripping novel) and Dr. Strangelove which featured someone riding a bomb. Science fiction and horror films had monsters created through nuclear war.

More bad news about newspapers

In a meeting that lasted less than 15 minutes this afternoon, @Gannett announced mandatory furloughs at the holidays, buyouts, freezing our 401(k) match and stopping hiring. No details. Very little info on timeline.

I think most of us are either speechless or swearing rn.

We are now at a point where three biggest newspapers in the country (NYT, WaPo and WSJ) employ more journalists than 250 papers (inc. USA Today) owned by Gannett, which can't be good.

Have you heard this joke?

A guy goes to a doctor because he has an orange penis.

The doctor says “Could you have gotten this from your wife?”

The guy says “No. My wife left me.”

The doctor says “Could you have gotten this at work?”

The guy says “No, I lost my job.”

The doctor says “What do you do all day?”

The guy says “I watch porno movies and eat Cheetos.”
