One test signal will be sent to radios and televisions using the same familiar audio tone in use since the 1960s, while a test of the newer Wireless Emergency Alerts system will be directed to consumer cellphones.“When a tornado is coming, you need to know your warning system works; you don’t have time for troubleshooting,” John Dooley, with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, said in a test announcement. “This annual test gives us confidence in our technology.”Some social media users, however, have been imploring followers to shut off their cellphones on the day of the test because they believe it’s part of a broader conspiracy to exert control over the population.One popular vid...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:44:00 GMT

Kiz: At the risk of starting a Twitter war with Jerry Jeudy, is it time for the Broncos to admit Marvin Mims Jr. is the receiver the team hoped Jeudy would be? In the comeback victory against the bad news Bears, did anybody make a bigger offensive play than Mims, whose 48-yard reception set up the game-winning field goal? So why has Mims been targeted only 11 times in four games? Do the Broncos need to trade Jeudy to give more opportunity to Mims?Glad you got to watch the game from the crib fam https://t.co/GCCypcAyRq— Jerry Jeudy⁴ (@jerryjeudy) October 1, 2023Gabriel: My Twitter fingers aren’t all that salty, but might I point out that the Broncos’ leading receiver Sunday was Jeudy (three catches for 52) and that he had receptions of 18 on Denver’s first touchdown drive and then nine and 25 on the third touchdown drive?
