“For both Pfizer and Moderna, the recommendation is that after six months, people over the age of 65 or who have pre-existing conditions should get a booster. But for Johnson & Johnson, the panel recommends boosters for people 18 and older, and it can be given two months after the first shot. Cool! Hey, you know when that information would have come in handy? Two months after the first shot!” —Stephen Colbert
“In related news, the F.D.A. has asked Johnson & Johnson to rename its ‘No More Tears’ shampoo to ‘Legally Speaking, Probably a Few Tears.’” —James Corden
“There is major news about the most powerful man in the world. That would be Superman, whose maker, DC Comics, announced a new motto for the 83-year-old superhero character: ‘Truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.’ The change tweaks his long-running catchphrase: ‘Truth, justice, and the American way.’ You know, it makes sense to change it. If Superman really followed the current American way, he would fly to school board meetings to scream about how the vaccine gave him heat vision. Changing the slogan for this cartoon has made a lot of people angry – which, of course, is the American way. The ‘American way’ wasn’t Superman’s original motto – it was added by the Superman radio show during the second world war. But a lot has changed since the 1940s. Back then, Superman was also doing ads for cigarettes – ‘be like Superman: smoke Chestertons and you’ll never die!’” —Stephen Colbert
“In a statement, DC Comics said the slogan change was intended to ‘honor Superman’s incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world’. Or, as Fox News put it: ‘New communist Superman cancels Mr Potato Head’s Christmas penis.’” —Stephen Colbert

of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
