Who's going to The Crossword Show on Saturday? I'll be there!

Everyone who was offended by the purported N*z* symbol design in the Sunday crossword last year, don't look now 🍆

Fantastic news! Thank you Kate & Stan, Rebecca & John, for stepping up to make a West Coast (Best Coast) crossword tournament happen again after too many years. Look forward to helping out however I can and hopefully seeing hundreds of you there next year! westwordsbestwords.com

Meta contest alert! The cryptic itself is probably more challenging than finding the final answer, but either way it's a good one!

Random thing: I am in rather desperate need of hard drives. If you have anything — HDD, SDD, otherwise — 1TB or larger that you aren't using & are willing to part with, wipe it and send it to my legal fund address. Thank you! timburkelegalfund.org/#one
