Stage Fright: Trump has refused to debate Kamala one debate too late. Democrats taunt ‘chicken’ Trump for refusing second debate with Harris. (I find this decision to be a relief. I can’t take much more of the crazy.) I’m sure the folks in Springfield, Ohio have had enough of the debates and the election in general. “Bomb threats on Friday forced the evacuation and closure of public schools and municipal buildings for a second consecutive day, as the city continues to deal with sudden national attention due to false claims involving its Haitian population.”
+ Et Tua: “In the third quarter of Thursday night’s Bills-Dolphins game, Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion—at least his third in the last two calendar years—and left the game.” With his track record of head trauma, is it worth still playing? And if he plays, will he wear one of the new Guardian Caps?
+ Equal Opportunity Terrorist: “Many of the reports reviewed by American intelligence analysts involve Israeli actions: military strikes that kill large numbers of civilians, errant attacks on aid convoys or other deadly incidents. But a large number of reports involve Hamas, both its acts of terrorism against hostages and its abuses of Palestinians.” NYT: How Hamas Uses Brutality to Maintain Power.
+ Rattle and Hum: “Last September, seismologists around the world detected vibrations unlike any they’d picked up before. A monotonous hum seemed to be emanating from Greenland. It would last for nine days.” Relax, it was just a 650-foot tsunami.
+ Air Resistance: Things at Boeing, already bad, just got worse. Boeing works to conserve cash as 33,000 factory workers go on strike.
+ Doggy Style: “After pushing a stroller to a park near her home in a Seoul suburb, Kang Seung-min plopped down on a bench. Then an elderly woman approached, looking for a friendly chat with Kang about motherhood. ‘I’m not even married yet,’ Kang, 24, responded. The startled woman stared into the stroller and took in the little passenger: a brown poodle named Coco.” WSJ (Gift Article): Nation With Lowest Birthrate Is Rocked by Soaring Sales of Dog Strollers.
