The audience recording of this famous SY show landed in the #aadamjacobsaudioarchive yesterday. Unlike the official release, it includes the soundcheck. I will need to play both versions back to back, for research purposes. archive.org/details/ajc0...

The March 21 #blossomwordgame is the most difficult I've seen: E-DGINTX I got 333 (keep in mind I "cheat"). The stats say nobody has managed 350 ("mega boss"). Can't link to the specific puzzle but you can get there from "past games" www.merriam-webster.com/games/blosso...

I don’t read things written on substack if I can at all help it, this is true of many folks who are too polite to say it for fear of putting off those who write there, but you should know if you’re still on that platform!

Garrett’s clear-eyed missives on Musk and Trump are must-read material and a stark contrast from the mealy-mouthed, both sides, some-say coverage from traditional media. Even as someone who follows this every day, seeing it reported this clearly is jarring.

Among the all-covers sets in the #aadamjacobsaudioarchive this one of yacht-adjacent easy listening tunes sticks out. It includes this Starbuck tune faithful enough to include a mallet solo. archive.org/details/ajc0... I figure this was an ad-hoc group of Chicago scene folks but I don't know.

This town where I live is home to a nontrivial number of Tesla drivers, votes reliably left-of-center, and has a strong Jewish population. Watch this space. bsky.app/profile/sher...

I've had a Chromecast Audio plugged into my 50+ year old Sansui receiver for a decade. It stopped working March 9 thanks to an expired certificate. Some unexpected good news: they seem to have pushed out the fix because it's playing again. arstechnica.com/google/2025/...

Just saw the @northbrookpl.bsky.social lot and parking along Cedar are barricaded. The outdoor book returns are closed. The library itself is NOT closed today.

I think that people who like to use the word "creative" as a noun should do so as frequently as possible so we'll know precisely who they are and can easily avoid them.

As I sit home with a terrible cold, I can’t help but be pissed that we decided as a society that we’re just cool with getting sick. We applied technology to water-borne and food-borne illness, and you generally don’t get sick that way anymore. But airborne? Nah, let’s keep getting sick.

The stats say 0.000008650593863268713 of players got "blossom boss" for the Feb 18 puzzle. That number is 1/115599 so I'm going to say one person managed it, and this game has about 115k players. I'm still curious how anyone reached 350 for this game: letters CDEHLN with I in the center.

I do not believe it's possible to get "blossom boss" (350+) with today's puzzle www.merriam-webster.com/games/blosso... (I managed 348 with cheating)
