Bittersweet to announce that @jessshulman.bsky.social and I did the second-to-last Browser. Edited as always by the wonderful @danfeyer.bsky.social www.thebrowser.com/crossword

I enjoy their cryptics

genuinely insane for the new york times to call a new york accent a "mispronunciation"

As a quick appetizer before the December issue, we have a holiday themed puzzle from @illogicaljoker.bsky.social and @joeadultman.bsky.social . This one's free, and might be light and breezy enough to spread the good word of variety cryptics to your family if you happen to be seeing them this week.

Oh this variety cryptic is a lot of fun. www.gnomoncryptics.com/trimmings-no...

Gnomon issue 4 is coming in one week, with five more variety cryptics. Now featuring more blocks than ever! With puzzles by @longyfan.bsky.social @matttheshirt.bsky.social @therackenfracker.bsky.social and @juffowup.bsky.social

good night, sweet prince (still there)

It's too long for Bluesky & I refuse to compromise. So here's a screenshot with the words in the alt-text.

It's like a bunch RFK Jr.s are loose.

I know I posted this on Twitter ages ago, but I came across it again last night and thought some may not have seen it yet. (From the Not the Nine O'Clock News spin-off book, 1980.)

If I am less than 1/3 of the way through cluing a grid, it is COMPLETELY unreasonable for the world to expect me to complete any other tasks this is SO urgent. When I have <3 clues left to do I MUST mop the bathroom it is so gross in there and then I really haven't gone for a walk in too long.

Brilliant and powerful.

Enjoy!

Reminder that my cryptic crossword solving stream is now twice a week (so I don't feel pressured to stay up as late). Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 PM to 12:00 PM Eastern on twitch.tv/thatcrypticguy, focusing mostly on discussion of US-style grids both indie and not; recommendations always welcome!

worth pointing out that game devs at xbox are some of the very few people at microsoft engaged in work that people actually want. no one wants copilot. no one wants to rely on windows anymore. no one wants teams and no one wants drone targeting AI. but i do want pentiment
