Puzzmo does do a big crossword twice a month, but admittedly I do somewhat miss the NYT Saturday. I also subscribe to AVCX to help fill in that gap.

It doesn't matter because I'm a big fat liar, I don't actually look at the leaderboards :D

I go through phases every few months where I will play a game every morning for a while. I like a lot of Puzzmo stuff. Can never be arsed to sign up for anything, though. If you haven't heard of Raddle, that's worth checking out, too.

Is your nickname derived from the noun "skep" meaning basket or beehive by any chance?
skep's avatar skep 1 week ago

Nope! I actually chose it as an oblique tribute to Jonas Grumby.

This is the second time today I am hearing about Flea's jazz album. It must be causing some meltdown.

It's been fun to see how by surprise this has been taking people because as someone who doesn't find RHCP so repealing, this feels like it's been coming for a long time as he's never been quiet about his love for jazz and desire to do something in that sphere (his first instrument was the trumpet and all) - it's just been his own confidence stopping it. Been nice to see these random, kind of positive reactions to it

(on the other hand I've not listened to it in full because it's jazz and therefore I know it's very much not for me)

the maggot brain cover made me go, "wait, is this maggot brain?" and then afterwards i went and listened to the original to remember how good it is. thanks, Flea!

Hey yes thanks for the cheers. I did find the prank funny! I don’t really believe in astrology but I do find it amusing, so fair play on riffing on the horoscopes a bit. Actually every month I try to go for a sillier, more irreverent tone, but they keep coming out sounding more serious than I intend. Maybe by December they'll be where I want them

(Also, I don’t know why you changed your site back. I think it looked better a few days ago.)

On April 1st it's parody, on April 2nd it's plagiarism.

You make the cheers look so effortless, but i think writing a short and to-the-point piece is just as difficult as a long one! maybe even moreso!

Okay, but enjoy June's too because I'm going to feel bad if her genuinely thoughtful efforts are overshadowed by some asshole making jokes

What do you call the ".place" part of your domain if not TLD?

Ah, I see. Yes, it's a TLD, but it's not custom. They released a whole bunch of new ones a number of years ago for more variety. They're generally not prohibitively expensive.
