I got the Pfizer COVID-19 booster yesterday, finally. I gave up waiting for Ontario to distribute the flu vaccine and my plans for a single visit to get both.

I've heard some complaining about a notable reaction to the shot, but I've had none except a slightly sore arm, which is par. Go get it.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

Rare moment of journalist solidarity as major news outlets, including WaPo, NYT, CNN, Newsmax, The Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, NPR, Reuters and the Guardian, along with the trade publications Task & Purpose and Breaking Defense, all reject new Pentagon reporting rules (no word from Fox yet)

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before signing deadline

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

Who was president in 2020? There appears to be a concerted effort to get you to forget

‘Who was president in 2020?’ Trump and GOP want you to think it was Biden | CNN Politics

If you asked people what the worst one-year period in recent American history was, it’s a good bet that many would choose roughly between January 2020 and January 2021.
