Hard to see what choice he has.

Very few examples of "This could have been a headline from The Onion!" actually feel like they could have been from the Onion, but I do think this one qualifies.

Enshittification.

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

We've all seen things like this a bunch of times now but it never fails to crack me up.

It would have been more impressive if ALL the blurb names rhymed.

Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.

But, you know, some Democrats still say "Latinx," so who can really say who's worse.

OK, @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social, this is perfect…

Looks like you guys had an interesting night.

Just posted a new puzzle on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@pzzlsncks/v... Also, Joon Pahk has opened subscriptions for his great Outside The Box Puzzles, and you should definitely get in on that. www.joonpahk.com

This is EXACTLY what I thought I read about this new executive order.

This would have been a great place to hand out Puzzlesnacks business cards, thought the marketing genius moments before the giant puzzle event concluded.

A new business that opened near me is two kinds of trouble.

I am having a hard time squaring things like this against the constant drumbeat of “AI is coming for your job.”

If lanternfly season begins on the day a lanternfly lands on your neck, then lanternfly season is here.

Casting an actress named Emma Mackey as the title character in a movie called Ella McCay is... confusing.

I guess I am not as Terminally Online as I thought I was, because I have no idea if Labubu is a person, place, or thing. No, I have no plans to look it up.

I guess not enough people were clicking on Adobe's "AI overview" in its PDF reader, because now it is giving it to you whether you want it or not. (You don't want it.)

Patrick Berry has a new suite of puzzles available, a bargain at $15.00. I found out about it accidentally and at random, so maybe it slipped past you as well.

My B'sky feed: - Trump suggests deporting US citizens - We built a concentration camp in Florida - The government is defunding schools just... because? - Paramount pays Trump a bribe - Trump cancels Ukraine weapons - Me, in a tiny voice: I'll have puzzles in the newspaper soon

Starting this weekend, I'll have a mini variety puzzle in each issue of the New York Times Sunday Magazine, taking over a spot previously filled by Patrick Berry. Only print subscribers will see it, alas. Hopefully one day the Times will come to their senses and get this stuff back on line.

Read the fifth-to-last word here as “scornfield,” and maybe that’s a worthwhile coinage.

Well, here's a new one. Having finished for the moment with the sizable book I am reading, put my bookmark in place, closed the cover, and reached for a cord to plug it in.

"You now have access to AI features in select apps! Try Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more!" No thanks, Google, I will instead cherish the remaining days before you start to force-feed me this crap.

Okay, damn my curiosity, why are we mad at The Onion?

This would make me question whether my flight was actually delayed.

This was, of course, my first thought.

Some days puzzle construction is a lot of fun and some days you search through 275 pages of wine brands looking for the handful that will be useful to you.

As a professional puzzle constructor, I feel like I should understand this joke.

Me: MUON! Spelling Bee: Um, no.

New definition of chutzpah just dropped.

It is hard to imagine a system being more broken than the one described in this thread.

The President of the United States....... didn't have access to lawyers? Didn't? Have? Access? To? LAWYERS?

I know not every possible word can be in the Spelling Bee dictionary, but every word I PERSONALLY KNOW should be in there, dang it.

(Opens up #nytconnections.) Oh, right. April 1st. Didn't come CLOSE to solving this. Got the yellow and that's it. Yeesh.

{peeks in to see how stupid things are getting} Oh, yes. Very stupid indeed.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry
