An excellent piece by ⁦@DrBalch⁩ Wildfires were once slowed by night and winter. Not anymore. https://t.co/u3b9WHSZyT

@DrJeanneM @beesolved @thegridkid @NYTimesWordplay And yet odd choices like tomtit are in the bee! Much more obscure than caracara, motmot, or anhinga.

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@beesolved My issue is the inconsistency with which alternate spellings are allowed - like so many things with the bee, it varies wildly.

Lots of great words in today’s 🐝 @thegridkid but what’s wrong with these two fairly common words? (I won’t even mention the weird bias against cool wild cats…).

This is such an important, underreported story, looking at the health impacts of the Marshall Fire, particularly for those whose homes are still standing. Kudos to @BoulderRL @hillaryrosner @stacyfeldmanbrl and the terrific @CU_CEJ grad students for this collaboration.

[Hillary Rosner @hillaryrosner]

A deep dive into the health impacts of the #marshallfire by some awesome @CU_CEJ grad students, in partnership with @BoulderRL and @KUNC. Here's the print story. So proud of these stories! https://t.co/s1y8pyQrDv

An important article. Climate change is hugely important, but it's not the only environmental crisis. “The lie is that if we address the climate crisis, we will also solve the biodiversity crisis.” #biodiversity #COP15 https://t.co/z8GA5SmU6Q

@thegridkid My vote is for an S in a puzzle with basic plurals disallowed.

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@jillian_dunham Congratulations!! ❤️

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@thegridkid I was thinking about the S conundrum. How about including an S, BUT not allowing any simple plurals? That’s how we play boggle in my house. (Meanwhile, looking forward to K).

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

Truly stunning.

A rare snow leopard roaming on Mount Everest at 18,000ft, photo published in @thetimes today by Kittiya Pawlowski. What a shot!

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@TomtitBaobab @thegridkid @NYTimesWordplay @NYTGames I can forgive INCENT (though I tried it) but the other two should have been there. ENCEINTE is also a pet peeve of mine. And I was half-hoping for FENNEC - have you seen how cute those foxes are?! (PIKA, ANOLE, and CARACAL should come first tho).

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@dremilyklein @LearnInHenry @HenryCountyBOE Congratulations!!

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@beesolved I could go with any of the bottom three, but mostly I think it’s ignorance of certain fields. (As an example, many serious birders have never heard of or use TOMTIT- it’s not nearly as common as, say, CARACARA, MOTMOT, or WILLET, none of which are allowed.)

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

@beesolved Now let’s bring on caracal. And pika. And anole… (but this is a start!)

[Amanda Paulson @AmandaPaulson]

Sobering, disturbing, and well worth reading. https://t.co/OTkxjA2Wtg

@1juliarosen @TheAtlantic Excellent piece, on a topic that gets far too little attention.
