Good Morning - Hello! It is Friday, September 26th (Day 269). Welcome to ExitEnter, your daily newsletter of the day ahead of you. There is lots of shit happening and ExitEnter wants to help you plan for it. But first, you should probably catch up on all the news this morning and check out your sports scores. Also, see what the weather is going to be like wherever you are. Thanks for reading and/or subscribing.
Note: ExitEnter is on a small sabbatical through the rest of the month.

HOW-TO: Deal with a Fear of Nuclear War, Grow an Apple Tree, Use a Condom, Use a Female Condom
JOKE: A man walks into the pharmacy with his 8-year old son. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad?" To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called Condoms son. Men use them to have safe sex." "Oh I see," replied the boy pensively. "Yes, I've heard of that in health class at school." He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?" The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys, one For Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday." "Cool" says the boy. He notices a 6 pack and asks, "Then who are these for?" "Those are for college men," the dad answers, "two For Friday, two for Saturday, and two for Sunday." "WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up a 12 pack. With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replies. "Those are for married men, son. One for January, one for February, one for March..."

TRUMPED: Yesterday in one sentence: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals to assemble at Quantico for an in-person meeting without giving a reason; the FBI said the Dallas ICE shooter planned to “maximize lethality against ICE personnel” and cause “real terror”; the Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making a false statement and obstruction; every living former chair of the Federal Reserve urged the Supreme Court to block Trump from firing Fed governor Lisa Cook; the Justice Department sued California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania for refusing to turn over full statewide voter registration rolls; Trump signed an executive order declaring a proposed TikTok deal compliant with U.S. national security requirements; Trump personally called Rupert Murdoch from Air Force One to try to kill a Wall Street Journal story about a 2003 Jeffrey Epstein birthday book, insisting a letter with his name “didn’t exist”; and the Trump administration ordered agencies to plan permanent layoffs if the government shuts down Oct. 1.
WTF?!: I just found out over lunch a couple of days ago that my Brother and Sister-in-Law have abandoned their son because he is not a sports loving bro. He ran away a few years ago because he lived in crazy christian MAGA home. He is Autistic and sexually questionable (we don’t know because they won’t talk about it.) His father is abandoning him and his mother is straddling the line on it - spineless to do the right thing, spineless to be a mother. This is their son - blood and guts. This is their goddamn family. They are choosing their church over their family and they have chosen Trump over their country. They are going to end up with nothing in the end with only themselves to blame. I am so happy that he escaped and is free.
WORD: Dad Bod’ and ‘Rizz’ Among 5000 Words Added to Merriam-Webster Dictionary
HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2023 - Joe Biden visits striking UAW workers near Detroit, Michigan, becoming the first sitting American president to join a union picket line. Awesome. 2023 - Trump fraudulently inflated the value of his properties by as much as $2.2 billion, a judge ruled. He could lose control of several properties, including Trump Tower. Ha! 2018 - Holden and Mariah go on a date. 2006 - Lisa started at MT. 2003 - A mass fungal infection sparks a global pandemic and turns its victims into bloodthirsty attackers. 2000 – Anti-globalization protests in Prague (some 20,000 protesters) turned violent during the IMF and World Bank summits. 1990 - The Motion Picture Association of America announced that it had created a new rating. The new NC-17 rating was to keep moviegoers under the age of 17 from seeing certain films. 1983 - Stanislav Petrov, a lieutenant colonel for the Soviet Air Defense Force single-handedly saved the world from nuclear war. While on duty he received computer readouts in the early hours of the morning suggesting several US missiles had been launched. "I had all the data (to suggest there was an ongoing missile attack). If I had sent my report up the chain of command, nobody would have said a word against it," he said. "All I had to do was to reach for the phone; to raise the direct line to our top commanders - but I couldn't move. I felt like I was sitting on a hot frying pan." Although his training dictated he should contact the Soviet military immediately, Petrov instead called the duty officer at army headquarters and reported a system malfunction…"Twenty-three minutes later I realized that nothing had happened. If there had been a real strike, then I would already know about it. It was such a relief," he recalled. A later investigation concluded that Soviet satellites had mistakenly identified sunlight reflecting on clouds as the engines of intercontinental ballistic missiles. 1969 – Abbey Road, the last recorded album by The Beatles, was released. 1960 – In Chicago, the first televised debate takes place between presidential candidates Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy. It was sweaty. 1937 - Blues singer Bessie Smith died after being refused admission to a whites only hospital. What a fine christian nation we live in. 1933 – Gangster Machine Gun Kelly surrendered to the FBI, he shouts out, "Don't shoot, G-Men!", which becomes a nickname for FBI agents.
