Heading to Dublin in a couple of months, so I figured I'd read this travel guide. Dublin seems like a very interesting place! #booksky
Why isn't this a pangram in the NYT #SpellingBee ? I know the rules say "no obscure words", but is 'Caryatid' really that obscure?
In a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town? The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.

Fam, there's a little Weinermobile on the dashboard of the Weinermobile!
Traveling the Midwest means there's a non-zero chance of meeting up with a Weinermobile.
I remember listening to Alice Cooper in the 70's, but I didn't realize just how long he'd been performing!
