@ChrisJansing @gabegutierrez Ms. Jansing, I heard you today refer to the President Biden as "Mr. Biden." Disrespectful and unprofessional. The proper way to refer to him is "President Biden."

At Saturday’s goodbye to New York/ hello DC party for our new senior White House Correspondent ⁦@gabegutierrez⁩ !! SO thrilled he’ll be a integral part of our great team there. See you on ⁦@JansingReports Gabe⁩

@FarOutMag Mistake in your article: The Ed Wood actor who won Best Supporting Actor was Martin Landau, NOT Walter Matthou!

The movie Samuel L. Jackson thinks he should have won an Oscar for: “They weren’t trying to make me a star” faroutmagazine.co.uk/movie-samuel-l…

@SawbonesHex Happy Birthday, Colin! I'll always have fond memories of your visit to Des Moines!

@Toadspotter32 The Charles Atlas ads always said that his training system involved no need for weights or other apparatus. Atlas never sold exercise devices of any kind, including this one.

A Charles Atlas Bull Worker I think. "Dear Mr Atlas, I have completed the Bull Worker course, please send muscles by return of post." 🤣🤣🤣

Are you simply incompetent or are you just con artists?

@DMRegister A few months ago I canceled my Sunday Register subscription. You kept charging me for digital (even though that should have been cancelled too). So I canceled my digital, BUT YOU ARE STILL CHARGING ME! Stop it or I will sue you in small claims court. I'm serious.

@TaylorOSoule Wow.

Valley of the Dinosaurs ran for 16 episodes in 1974. Featuring the voice talents of Frank Welker (Fred in Scooby Doo), Shannon Farnon (the first actress to voice Wonder Woman), Alan Oppenheimer (Skeletor) and Jackie Earle Haley (Gravedale High). #saturdaymorningcartoons

@jmcknutler1517 Yes, totally normal. Takes a few years, like 3-5 in my experience as a lawyer.

#lawtwitter can someone else please tell me it's normal to be over a year into working as an attorney and still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing? Thank you.

Hey @GeneralMills and @Chocula and everyone! I was a kid in 1971 when Count Chocula was introduced! I ate a bowl of it on Halloween morning that year -- AND EVERY HALLOWEEN SINCE! This morning I had my 53rd annual bowl of Count Chocula on Halloween morning!

@TaylorOSoule I used to teach political science courses evenings at a local college. Once, I gave the students a research project & gave them the phone number of the Legislative Information Office at the State Capitol. Instead, I accidentally wrote my home phone # on the white board!

@Godfly__ @KittyGrumble @hessenjunge76 It happens. There were those stretchy chest exerciser units being sold in ads in comic books the same time that the Charles Atlas ads were running. Memory is a weird thing, it alters and edits over time.

@MarkoLambert @KittyGrumble @hessenjunge76 Ah. My memory has let me down. 🙁

@Godfly__ @KittyGrumble @hessenjunge76 Charles Atlas didn't sell equipment. He sold a no-equipment-needed exercise program.

@KittyGrumble @hessenjunge76 Once upon a time, you could send away to Charles Atlas for a chest expander ...

@ElvingJack @starwolf_oakley @PrathamAjila Your "Snake oil" comment indicates you've never actually tried the Charles Atlas course. I bought it as a teenager and have done the exercises for about 40 years. I do 100 push-ups a day and I'm in my early 60s.

@starwolf_oakley @PrathamAjila That's straight out of the 1930s Charles Atlas commercials (aka the snake oil of its day).

From Conway’s ASM#123. As they say these days: shots fired from Luke Cage. I wonder if this is among the earliest class critiques of Batman in comics.

@harryhenry6 @ElvingJack @starwolf_oakley @PrathamAjila Charles Atlas started selling his course in 1929. Doc Savage magazine #1 was published in February 1933 (cover date March, but on sale in Feb.) Likely, Lester Dent was inspired by Altas when writing about Doc's muscle-vs-muscle workout routine.

@ElvingJack @starwolf_oakley @PrathamAjila Didn't those ads come a bit later, in the '50s? Regardless I think they got the idea from pulp hero Doc Savage, who had trained from birth to be the "perfect man".

@ChrisMaluta FYI, the Charles Atlas course did not involve lifting weights.

The CN obsession with working out reminds me of that Charles Atlas cartoon where the skinny kid gets sand kicked on him at the beach. But then he starts weight lifting and the girls finally say he is a “real man after all” I’m sorry so many bullies kicked sand on the CN leaders
