I had to skip a week, but I'm finally back with a new Patchwork puzzle! puzzlesnacks.com/patchwork/

We already have this. They're called "puzzles."

Coming soon: Patchwork Country, a set of puzzles supporting immigrants' rights.

Now I want to write a screenplay where everybody is seeking a particularly rare McMuffin.

New Patchwork puzzle! A little tougher than usual, or so I'm told. But never fear, there's always Easier mode if you're feeling trepidatious. Try it here: puzzlesnacks.com/patchwork/ And don't forget to pre-order the book, coming out this March! www.amazon.com/Patchwork-Pu...

...and Tillis goes on to say that he thinks Johnson will resist that pressure, and further, that caving to it would be a dereliction of duty. Which is to say, the text of Rupar's post makes this clip sound far more inflammatory than it actually is. Which is a common, and tiresome, Rupar tactic.

Where are these Trickiness ratings happening? I've never seen this.

All this and also puzzles! Including one by me!

Some puzzle news! I've started contributing puzzles to LinkedIn's array of games. If you're over there, try out today's Wend -- it's mine! You can also find me there at www.linkedin.com/in/erberlin/ I also have a new Patchwork puzzle for you! You'll find that here: puzzlesnacks.com/patchwork/

This is quite a thread, and an awfully bad look for DraftKings. I'm sure the other online gambling sites are much more ethical, though!

This is now everybody.

In college, to a girl I didn't know very well but with whom I needed to discuss some classroom matter, I sent the following instant message: "Are you busty?" Followed immediately, of course, by "BUSY! Are you BUSY!!"

I'm told that this week's Patchwork puzzle is on the easy side, so maybe this is a good week to branch out from ordinary crosswords and try a new kind of variety puzzle! Solve it at puzzlesnacks.com/patchwork/

I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists

This might be the worst book pitch ever.

Today in interesting but 99.9% useless information.

Remembering the time DOLLY PARTON performed the Dallas Cowboys' 2023 Thanksgiving halftime show after TONY POLLARD scored for the Cowboys, and nobody noticed they were anagrams of each other web.archive.org/web/20231124...

This is excellent. Looking forward to their rendition of "Sweet Transvestite."

Takes a moment but it's worth the effort.

If he goes through with this, the new mnemonic would be SHAME.

If I had posted this picture, "here we go again" would mean "I am making another word search." No idea what it means in this guy's case.

Here's a new Patchwork puzzle! puzzlesnacks.com/patchwork/ If you've been enjoying these, you should join my mailing list on that same page. I often forget to update one social media thing or another, but I'm good about letting my mailing list know when a new puzzle drops.

When I was in jail, none of the Monopoly sets had dog pieces. Over a decade later, I decided to figure out why: boundlessplay.substack.com/p/play-behin...

I usually take great enjoyment in watching language evolve, but the suffix "-maxxing" is pure nails-on-a-chalkboard.

I am so puzzle-brained that for several moments I truly thought, the Onion is poking fun at Lollapuzzoola?! The crossword tournament?!

I have returned from the annual convention of the National Puzzlers' League, and naturally I brought puzzles to hand out to everyone there. If you'd like to solve them yourself, here they are! www.ericberlin.com/2026/07/12/t...

The GOP nominated Ken Paxton 6 weeks ago

Now comes the part where people who voted for Trump shake their heads and say "tsk tsk" that someone as awful as Platner garnered so much support. The Dem political/punditry machine took too damn long to correct itself, but at least it finally did. Can't exactly say the same thing for Republicans.

This Is Just To Say I told you so about that thing you disagreed with me about of which irrefutable proof has now emerged Forgive me it is too delicious too sweet not to remind you that you were wrong

data visualization is my passion.

Amused by Spotify’s attempt at parsing the lyrics of this jazz piece I’m listening to — which is an instrumental and has no lyrics.

There was supposed to be some sort of big deal special musical guest at Trump's America 250 debacle yesterday. Can't find any word on who it might have been. Anybody know?

Today's @merriam-webster.com Word of the Day is UMAMI. I can find only one other common five-letter word where the 2nd and 4th letters are the same consonant, and the remaining letters are vowels. Can you think of it?
