Me too, Howard. How can one lost hiur wreak such havoc?

Was positive my fourth guess was wrong & I’d be getting a 5/6. Surprise!

Ihave a vague memory of a personal bot crisis over something like ‘ditsy’ vs ‘ditzy’ recently. Yeah, bite us, bot.

Sally, as a practical matter, your play is ‘hard mode style’. You stick with your orange squares and build on them, rather than making each guess an opportunity to try five new letters.

Thanks for this, Howard! Shout it! The big horrible question is just how much leeway he will be given as Commander-in-Chief on a matter he justifies as being under his national, security purview. As we have seen, even if he ultimately loses in the courts, he wins by entangling & stalling processes.

Well, FWIW, I don’t ‘latch on‘ to REAL people, much less online ‘screen people.’ But, for better or worse, I hitched my wordle wagon to yours based on liking the way you spoke out on Twitter. (Then again, there was no one to convert here. You just said what I was thinking better than I ever could!)

It feels like the head of our new “Department of War” is having a grand old time naming his latest foray “Operation Epic Fury.” He’s like a twelve-year old with new toys.

Well, I’ve never known you to rant— but perhpas you do that elsewhere. It seems to me you used to opine & advocate in a very considered way. But I hear you….the overarching point is that we’re all too exhausted to rant. I’m still stuck on the gutting of healthcare subsidies & nothing done about it.

Now, now. Calm down. It’s very pretty.

Opinion | What Happened in Chicago When Science Became the Enemy

"She found it exhausting to explain how irreversible the damage was. They had lost years of research in a matter of weeks. Labs had been closed & successful, decades-long careers ended. The decisions were political & ideological, arbitrary & needlessly cruel.”

Do you remain dry thru March, or does today represent the end of a New Year resolution?

If you’re thinking of coming to the US as a foreign national on vacation, maybe it’s time to think again…

Robust, haha.
At least the games still permit an occasional “hmm, that was cool” as the novelty wanes.

Third guess might be a first! I’ve had 4 out of 5, but never 5 out of 5 with four incorrectly positioned.
