The mayor is so anal. He just wants to sit on all the money.

Sounds like a fun place, and it seems most people there actually know how to take a joke. The first things that show up in searches on the town show the water tower with "Home of the Pirates" (butt pirates?) and the Uranus Fudge Factory and General Store. Also, the Grauniad needs to visit Missouri or at least brush up on its geography. I don't know if I've driven through Uranus, but St. Louis, Kansas City and Jefferson which I have visited are decidedly Midwestern in looks and character, in addition to the state being surrounded by Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas, and only having one very long border with a decidedly southern state.
Wait an hour, and it will be now again

Oh wow.. this shit just got real. That mayor name did set off alarms for me. I'm sure I wiki'd before to get the 'Uranus is not a town, it's a destination' line but maybe I got from elsewhere, if not the article itself.

It can hurt in this particular instance.


I've heard some men achieve orgasm from prostate stimulation alone. Not me tho. :(

We're not going to control the pandemic!

It is a slaughter and not just a political dispute.

"The scraps of narcissism, the rotten remnants of conspiracy theories, the offal of sour grievance, the half-eaten bits of resentment flow by. They do not cohere. But they move in the same, insistent current of self, self, self."
