Is thirstily the right adverb? I thought that meant sexily

Thirsty works here. It means you really want it, not that anyone really wants you.

I imagine you just broke bernieecclestoned's heart after having been called thirsty and misinterpreting it for years

The way "thirsty" is normally used is not "sexily" but "desiring sex". Like, the OnlyFans model isn't thirsty (but she might try to appear to be for extra tips) but the guys who pay to watch her are thirsty.

Maybe the Verge was secretly giving MS a compliment?
