Hint: These are answer-adjacent.

This week, the Iowa caucuses sucked up news coverage like a Panera bread bowl absorbs turkey chili, or a freshly discovered space entity devours stars.

Low temperatures leached the charge from Teslas as fast as Elon Musk vacuumed the value out of Twitter.

P.S. Our friends at Goats and Soda published a nice quiz last week. How well have you been paying attention — to global health and development?
