Of course I cheated. I’m a weasel.
Sorry! Uncle B just asked if I had posted and the answer was no, I have not. We got tied up doing the NYT crossword again and I plumb forgot. (I had to look it up. Plumb, as in plumbline).
Uncle B gets stuck on the American culture ones. We both get stuck on sports. Also, way too many recent pop culture references.
So when we’ve been at it a while and we’re totally stuck, I cheat. If you post the clue in the address bar, whatever the default AI comes with your browser will give you the answer. But it doesn’t let you off the hook – oh, no. It says “the answer to ‘—‘ from todays NY Times crossword is ‘—‘. Like, just let me cheat in peace, nasty robot.
The illustration is Grok’s for “cheating at the NYT crossword.” ChatGPT never misgenders me. May 13, 2025 was indeed a Tuesday. I wonder what the significance is. And what that barcode means.
