Here’s a Mini I solved from the archives yesterday. It’s mirrored, but you’d think they’d disallow the shape. People just don’t think “pinwheel” first. Plus, the solutions, if you scramble the letters, offer up some nasty Rummikub plays, including “Himmler.” I keep thinking about it. So unsettling.

Eh, idk, not trying to get blocked, only sad and scared, like everyone. He’s not the problem. He just plays by the old rules still, even after all they did to him, all the sabotage; it’s an entirely different game these days. Kind of admire his fortitude there.

We trusted him, we put our faith in him, I voted for him twice, but it’s so hard to pretend he didn’t help make this the world we live in now.

Weapons-grade naïve.

This is the 2026 equivalent of when Walter Cronkite went on tv and said the Vietnam War was unwinnable
