What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

It was, Tep! I also had the pre-coffee weird choice, I guess (Eta high-five to brenda as well)

I don't think my brain works right for Letterboxed. I've only tried it a couple of times but it does not seem at all fun, just hard.

Pretty nails,, PMM!

That sucks, epic. I’m sorry.

Wordle lost all my history a couple of years ago and while I am still mad about that I am not emotionally invested in my stats or streaks anymore

The new(ish? I just noticed it recently) Connections bot says today was exceptionally tricky, fwtw. There's something I don't like about Connections bot, can't put my finger on it, but seeing what other people did in aggregate is interesting

Epic, you have maybe already thought of this, but in case you did not, have you looked into insurance through Covered California while you don't have employer provided? One of the things it's supposed to be good for, I think

Punishingly Intricate

My Mom got the Wordle in 2 today! I got it I. 4 but only after really staring at the 3 yellow letters I had at 2 for like 20 minutes. My longest streak was 263 so I can imagine how I felt when I broke that. V sad.

Jeez, a fireworks warehouse exploded in Yolo county. Kinda surprised it doesn’t happen more often, really, but still

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

For quite a while, my Wordle streak was good for letting me know how long the span between migraines were. I've been playing through more often lately.

I had to stop playing Letterboxed because it made me unreasonably angry. Connections varies wildly in enjoyment level. Today's was strange.

Those fireworks were like “YOLO!”

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Those fireworks were like “YOLO!”

I had a similar thought.
