One of my hardest Connections-style puzzles. Not intentionally. Just based on morning scores.

Hey Chicago: I’m performing with ComedySportz at the Malarkey Comedy theater on Saturday 9/14. Who’s coming?

If you don’t try Conlextions 363, it’s a sin!

You can solve this one. Slow and steady.

I’ve gotten a slow and growing trickle of jingle work. I love it. Hit me up with your jingle needs.

Conlextions 361 and you. Like chocolate and peanut butter. A perfect match.

If a restaurant doesn’t put one of your dishes on the bill, do you tell them?

Yes
No
It depends (explain!)

Call Saul just wasn’t that good a show. I’m glad they made an improved version.

Today’s Lexicogs should be music to your ears.

Making daily full sized crosswords is probably the hardest part of running @lexgames.

And of course, I want them to be great crosswords.

Today’s is a good one. https://mastodon.social/@lexgames/113056166829499302

I'd forgotten about today's Lexicogs and worried something was wrong. Nothing was wrong. Just great clues. Hahahaha.

I regret to inform you that the actual lyrics are

The Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah

All of which came as news to me this evening.

@manton I'd still love an option to always show the title field, for what it's worth. Maybe if you're in podcasting "mode" it's always visible? Just funny that I always have to upload the audio for the title field to show up.

@jarrod I had the same question! Cc @manton

@manton Do you know if this one got fixed? I think I saw it again, but I deleted the post before I could 100% confirm.

@jean haha. Pretty much!

@manton Aw, thanks! micro.blog is a big part of why the show is doable this way. The frictionless posting matters a great deal.

(Although if I had my druthers I could have an option to always show the Title field, since I always want to type the title first, but have to upload the audio to make that field appear. Note that this is hyperpicky and not important 😂)

@manton It looks like draft posts are appearing in feeds before their publish date, for what it's worth. (There's one in mine for an audio post dated for Monday.)

@Moltz I'm trying to figure it out. Also today it feels like mastodon.social is down.

@manton I think scheduled posts are showing up in feeds before they should right now. Just flagging!
