To mark the start of a new semester, here's a new metapuzzle, "Academic Transfers." The meta answer is a site of higher learning. knottygrids.blogspot.com/2026/01/acad...
Panthers to the playoffs! This is definitely the strangest multi-way tiebreaker scenario to benefit a North Carolina football team since, well, last month. Keep pounding!
What happened to ear and throat?
When I was in Hebrew school, we put on a musical version of that story and did a performance at the local nursing home. As my mom describes it, it was surreal watching a bunch of chipper 3rd graders singing "It could be worse, it could be worse" to people for whom it really couldn't.

Excited to make my first AVCX Cryptic appearance! Many thanks to Stella Zawitowski for fantastic editing! Just one clue as a teaser: "Tori Spelling making comeback in latest Uno documentary (6)" @avcx.bsky.social avxwords.com/avcx-puzzle-...

Somehow my "I Am The Very Model of a Heegaard Floer Homologist" made it into a WaPo article, one paragraph after Tom Lehrer's "The Elements." I have nothing more to accomplish. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
Here's a (meta) puzzle I wrote a few years back, with a possibly timely theme. Happy solving!

A bit of belated Purim Torah for those needing a laugh in terrifying times! (Given at the Durham Chavurah Minyan this morning.)

I mean it is mid-century - just a different century.
Thank you for standing up and being there!
As I recall, the old Soncino translation euphemistically translated it as "waist."
Regarding the Dear Leader's patriotic indoctrination orders, no one says it better than Pete Seeger z"l. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAN4...
For my very first post on this newfangled thing, here's a crossword I wrote last year. It may keep you busy for a little while. knottygrids.blogspot.com/2024/05/less...
