@ManuclearBomb this thread has had me in tears but somehow it's missing poor Joey JoJo https://t.co/T72LEKH6vR

threw my legs out at the gym so I spent the day in bed hacking on Applesoft BASIC, 6502 asm, and the emulator I did it in https://t.co/IjrFNCl5tx

I never met them personally, but I really can't say how much Near's work, philosophy, commitment, and grace has meant to me over the years. Absolutely gutted.

Imagine: you are Will Shortz, the most important xword editor in the world. In 2021, with all the information in the world at your fingertips, cannot fact-check a themer for the Sunday puzzle? About a country a few hours away by car? About events that happened in your lifetime?

FFS Trudeau Sr. didn't introduce FREE HEALTHCARE to Canada in 1984. That's not what the Canada Health Act did. We've had it since the 60s, courtesy of Lester Pearson & Tommy Douglas #NYTXW

My Japanese has apparently reached the point where I can express snobby nostalgia (even if about cars), so I think I'm set

I completed Super Mario Picross today and it feels like less like an accomplishment and more like being freed from imprisonment.

just bought tickets for my first post-COVID show and boy is that a *feeling*

It's actually pretty bad (there's serious natick potential on a MONDAY) but nevertheless I, personally, am extremely psyched about tomorrow's #nytxw #32down

[Adam "Not The Economist" Smith @wk_end]

friday's #nytxw was really good except for that NE. 7A/12D was rough, nice "Upper Midwest" trivia in 21A, and 15A is a thing no one says ever.

@YRDRBLBST @bestalbum95 the extra songs are just bonus tracks aren't they? what's the standard rule for bonus tracks? (IMO: do not count. Seamonsters *has to* end with "Octopussy".)

u ever have a cat meowing & rubbing their head against your hand and realize that if they were human instead of meowing they'd be screaming "RUB MY FACE" 🤔🤔🤔

so uh that Saturday #nytxw was...not a Saturday, huh

...and it goes without saying, but Western companies' cowardice regarding the follow-up, Devotion (looking at you @GOGcom) is disgraceful.

Very late to the party but I'm finally getting around to playing @redcandlegames' Detention. About an hour in and it's absolutely gripping. I can't shake the feeling that (like Conrad observed) the correct way to look at human history really is through the lens of horror.

John Dean Provincial Park was spectacular today (as I'm sure it is every day)

My cat and I are solving the Sunday #nytxw right now over at https://t.co/OXCSPg3PIy if you're inclined to jump in and help :)
