Headline: "Cinco Ranch: 'Large void' leads to emergency closure of Mason Road and Westheimer Parkway, Fort Bend Co. officials say"

I will skip over the (obvious) Dave Sim joke here and instead say that a lifetime of gaming has prepared me for the sudden appearance of an underground "void".

I'll get my shotgun. Who's our wheelman?

My son's best friend is a trans woman living in Switzerland. She was going to come visit this summer. Dammit, dammit, dammit. My son is going to be crushed.

Too many young men are using online gambling platforms like FanDuel & William Hill to place bets on the Booker Prize, the Golden Wreath of Struga, the Fishing News Fisherman of the Year, and the Gramophone Classical Music Awards. This poor young boys go broke!

Won't somebody think of the children?

Elton John put on a hell of a show, far far better than I expected.

Lou Reed did a great show, but on one song he achieved transcendence.

I wasn't expecting much, the first time I saw the Ramones. My mistake.
