Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes, I'm Siskel, yes, I'm Ebert
And you're getting two thumbs up

Does anyone else read these in Neil Dudgeon's John Barnaby voice
A woebegone lexicographer is found attacked by crabs dropped from drones. Suspicion falls on Midsomer Sonning’s bridge club, confused that the opening of a McDonald’s store might threaten unicorn conservation plans.

Science will often take you to unexpected and delightful places. In this study, researchers hypothesized that riders in a crowded subway car would be more likely to offer their seat to a pregnant person if there were someone in the subway car dressed as Batman 🧪🦇

The city that works
All you need to know about Chicago is this: we put our literal shit into the Chicago River, which flowed into Lake Michigan, which is where we got our drinking water, and where a lesser city would’ve said “let’s stop throwing our shit into the river” we reversed the flow of the goddamn river instead
