Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I wish to register my objection to today's Wordle.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I wish to register my objection to today's Wordle.

I got it, but only because I guessed it just to see if Wordle even considered it a word. WTF, Wordle?

Oh, thanks, I had forgotten to do my morning games today...I will be back to comment after I get to that one

Wow I failed connections (after getting yellow and purple!) and then almost failed wordle too (there was only 1 answer left after my third guess! And my fourth guess. And my fifth guess. Neither of which were things I thought were words)

Punishingly Intricate

I slept all morning trying to get over this fucking cold. But it meant I read the hints here and that helped inform my Wordle approach

Did get the Wordle, but, come on, that ain't right

Same. I felt like my brain was soup, trying to figure out the rest.

I got yellow and green on Connections, and I knew what blue was, just couldn't get the right combo.

I thought I knew what Blue was but two of them mean nothing to me, so. I never got anywhere green or purple, brain=soup describes it well
