Cue the ‘Paw Patrol’ Theme

Whenever we mention CNN on The Other Podcast, the Paw Patrol theme song is featured to mock the news network whose programming gets lower ratings than the Nickelodeon kiddie cartoon.

The Ignorance of Professor Paul Campos

Excuse the poor quality of that screencap, but Professor Campos was Skyping into his interview with Bloomberg, and apparently didn’t have a lot of bandwidth.

The COVID-19 Fetish Community

John Hoge blogged about the person pictured above with the headline “I’m Not Making This Up, You Know,” and yet at first, I didn’t believe it.
