Just putting this out into the world—buttons for FlameCon that do the Fall of X “Red Triangle” defense but with rainbow letters for pride.

Anyone wanna see Dead Outlaw with me before it closes Sunday?

Love the guy who posted on a FB chess puzzle “why must the queen always sacrifice herself”—what a way to discover the patriarchy.

For any fans of Only Connect & NYTimes Connections, I designed this for friendly games at Lollapuzzoola 2024 and ran it with @benbassandbeyond.bsky.social
on Twitch. Really proud of the grid, but didn't get as many full games played to show it off, so here you go.

Please sort into 4 groups of 4!

Less than a week from ACPT and I haven’t solved a crossword puzzle in 2-3 months…

Heading over to @taskmaster @TMTheExperience Live to show up some Brits. You best believe I will look under the table. My time starts now.

It breaks my heart to tell you that we lost our home to the Altadena fires. It’s completely gone. Thankfully, we’re safe with our dog across town, hosted by some dear friends. I never thought this would be me, but a friend made us this GFM, which I post here with incredible humility:

They’re really—uh—sharp, don’t you think? I hear black is this year’s pink.

Challengers up against Wicked in the comedy/musical Golden Globes category could tear the gay community apart.

The movie choreography for Dancing Through Life somehow turned me gay again.

I got outbid in an auction for a pinup page from one of the old Marvel Swimsuit issues, so all my best to some other thirsty X-Men queer.

I can’t explain it, but this hotel signage feels very crossword-coded.

Well well well, in 2025 I'll be part of the LearnedLeague team smithing our Crossovers 2 sequel MiniLeague *and* doing a solo 1-Day Special on Santa Claus in Pop Culture. Bad news for my haters, who honestly made some valid points.

So *hypothetically* if we were to try and do an escape room in Manhattan tomorrow, would anybody want in?

I’m sure everyone will be shocked, shocked I say, to hear that I’ve got a brand-new Only Connect question set teed up for potential groups at Lollapuzzoola tomorrow, if the internet is good enough.

Will be available for Zoom matches afterwards!

For anyone who didn't get a chance to play my last Only Connect set at ACPT in April, probably have a couple spots open in a friendly match tonight at 8:30 Central time.
