I wouldn’t worry too much… it will end up being at Madison Square Lawn and Garden anyway.

“Where is the firewall?!?” Well put, Walz. Well put.

Drink!

I love this! For anyone wondering, the author is Ian Hamilton Finley from his book Glasgow Beasts, an a Burd, Haw, an Inseks, an, Aw a Fush.

I think MST3K had the right idea:

“If you’re wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts
Just repeat to yourself “It’s just a show
I should really just relax”

I was sure it happened to the one you linked to, but in trying to replicate it now, I’m not getting the same result, so it must have been user error on my part. My apologies. The site was kinda buggy trying to load on mobile and you’re probably right— I’m guessing I clicked on something that sent me to a more recently archived version.

Unfortunately the archived article cuts off at the same place as the paywalled article.

I was, however, able to read it in full by copying your link to the original into a simple plain text converter (in this case I used txtify.it). Thanks for the article recommendation btw— I learned a lot!

Good Lord, what have they done?

Reminds me of Trump and his… frustration with low-flow toilets.

“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”

What a weird generalization to make. Maybe you’re referring to grocery stores, that have a small selection of beauty/health products.

My local Target here in the US (CA) was recently renovated to expand the body care section of the store, and now has two large distinct sections that obviously cater to specific genders:

The men’s section (deodorant, hair care, face wash, shaving supplies, etc.) is set apart by “wood” flooring, dark wooden display tables, and a kind of minimalist atmosphere. Several aisles away, the women’s section (hair care, makeup, face wash, nail care, etc.) is bright and colorful and chock-full of product signage.
