I accidentally typed Octoberr as part of a date, which seems kind of fitting. #boo #boo #booboo

Why don't we have a Song of the Spring? It scans better than Summer, and with less global warming. #cooltunes

Um, I can't help pointing out it's Seth Meyers. Sorry, @ScrippsBee

[Scripps National Spelling Bee @ScrippsBee]

Remember that time in 2017 when Emma Stone had just won an Oscar but told Seth Myers it's her 4th grade spelling bee trophy she still displays? Win or lose, the power of the bee always stays with us.

In honor of #EarthDay2024 , don't just re-use, three use if you can.

[Todd Gross @TGinNV]

Shouldn't I be more worried about muddy and missing dangers versus clear and present ones? #icantsee #thatsthepoint

[Todd Gross @TGinNV]

@TrudeauRoss I call my more-fun-to-construct-than-solve puzzles museum pieces. I once created a puzzle using only RSTLNE, and yeah, definitely a museum piece that one.
