Zoom having a total meltdown minutes before my therapy appointment is a little on-the-nose for my tastes.

The crossword tournament sure didn't go my way, but between the UConn women's title, my second-place finish in a big bracket pool for the men's tourney, and this, it was a damn good few days in college sports for me. www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/04...

Every year since Covid, I've won the crossword tournament XOR UConn basketball has won a national championship. 🤔

Fifth place it is. Crushed the championship puzzle in my seat, so I'm sure the A final will be over very quickly.

It’s okay Duke. It takes a truly special program to hang six banners. Five is nothing to be ashamed of.

Looking like I'm not quite where I want to be in the #ACPT standings. What's more, I've clocked an :00, :03, and :04 so far, so I'm actually quite lucky it's not substantially worse.

Left my wallet at the front desk when checking into the Stamford Marriott. I'm sure this isn't a bad omen for anything. #ACPT

I'm playing some homemade Only Connect on Ben Bass's Twitch stream at the top of the hour. Come on by to see me inevitably beef at least one eminently gettable question. www.twitch.tv/benbassandbe...

You're a few months late, Warfield, but in any case, that's not very nice.

I continue to put out Sporcle quizzes occasionally, particularly Order Up. Just made two more short ones inspired by tonight's Joe Schmo Show finale. www.sporcle.com/user/thatpuz...

Bummed the Huskies lost, but I'll admit I'm a little relieved not to be unemployed and trying to justify dropping multiple hundo on a Sweet 16 ticket at Chase Center.

Feature request for the YouTube TV phone app that I think would be really cool: When watching a close, late basketball game live, don't suddenly jump back to the beginning of the broadcast for no fucking reason

We're gonna have a tough opponent Sooner or Gator. Thank you, thank you.

Not a profound or nuanced observation, obviously, but I am really struggling with how fucking evil everything is every day. Everything I love and admire about this stupid and amazing country just constantly getting vandalized and brutalized by people who hate all those things. Not digging it.

I won my first American Crossword Puzzle Tournament championship twenty years ago today. Crumble into dust with me.

Only natural that another miserable RPI hockey season ends with me disgustedly shutting off their last game less than halfway through. I can just as easily spend the time doing something far less painful, like working an Allen wrench entirely into my urethra.
