What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPresident Trump posted at twelve forty-two this morning that Obama is a grossly incompetent President, after Obama rallied in Cleveland and Detroit ten days before the November third midterms.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwelve forty-two. Nothing good has ever been posted at twelve forty-two, apart from my warnings.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn other news, scientists have described a chunky Jurassic squid relative from Wyoming.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIts fossil is about ten centimetres long, and local fossil hunters call these remains squid butts.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSquid butts. Science has peaked.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd Jaylen Brown says there's no beef with Jayson Tatum, but it might be a little lamb chops and some gravy.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe also answered Tatum's claim of surprise with a blue hat emoji. That means cap, which is slang for a lie.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLamb chops, gravy, a hat. It's a dinner party that ends badly.
