@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."

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

@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.

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.

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

Marjorie Merriweather Post told her husband she wanted a little cottage by the sea. She ended up building Mar-a-Lago instead. Nancy Rubin Stuart shares more stories about this remarkable heiress and philanthropist.

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.

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

@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.

[Mark Lambert @MarkoLambert]

@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.

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

@IowaStateU 1. No.

@Jess_Plummer Just read this article and your article about the longest running comic strips. FYI, I produced a documentary film about the creator of Alley Oop: https://t.co/JPbDM2z2aW
