Just did a puzzle that asked for a "supergroup." Turns out the answer was The Beatles, and I'm miffed. According to Merriam-Webster, "supergroup" has a second definition: "extremely successful group." That just seems like codifying a misunderstanding, right? The Beatles were a super group, but... 😠
So, the "gray" deck stain was actually blue. Very, very blue. As one observer commented, "Looks like Veruca Salt exploded out there." (Don't worry. I dug the Roald Dahl flashcards out of storage for a quick review.)
Deal alert! The Kindle edition of my dog-friendly cozy mystery is on sale for $1.99 for the rest of April! (If you don't use Amazon, Barnes & Noble has the ebook at the same discounted price right now, but I don't know how long that will last.)

A Halloween installment of "Cryptic Crossword Clues That Don't Quite Work In My Accent": Spooner says torn head is occupied by spirits (7)
To celebrate the release of How to Talk to Your Dog About Murder, Spotify's hooked me up with a few free copies of the audiobook so I can spread the love. Make me laugh with a story about a silly pet! I'll pick a couple entries randomly and send access codes.
Happy #pubday to these mysteries and thrillers! @lynliaobutler.bsky.social, @emilysoderberg.bsky.social
Argh! *shakes fist at hypothetical commentary* "Imagine if they didn't have those three turnovers..." We brought you in to report what happens. Not suggest some counterfactual alternatives.
Sometimes, when you get acronyms with multiple possible meanings, the options are related to each other and have a high degree of overlap, so you have to pay careful attention to the context to decide which is meant. "Tackles for loss" and "thermo-fused laminate" are not like that.
Whatever your opinion about the watering-down of the word "literally," I think we can all agree that, when used as an intensifier, it should be paired with something a little hyperbolic. Tony Romo just said of a call, "This is going to be literally really close."
Ah, college football season. When it's suddenly acceptable for an announcer in his sixties to get up on TV and describe a nineteen-year-old as "a really good-looking tight end." I'm surprised shipping isn't a thing in sports yet (as far as I know.)
Time for an installment of "Cryptic Crossword Clues That Don't Quite Work In My Accent." Cease, or listen to playground equipment (6)
I just want to watch a low-stakes football game before conference play starts. I don't want to have to see Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Get off the screen! wps.

Dogs are better behaved than people in this new cozy mystery where a pet behaviorist finds herself the prime suspect in an upscale murder, perfect for fans of Eva Gates and Victoria Gilbert.Nikki Jack...

Just found out that Ariadne Oliver, Agatha Christie's mystery novelist character, has a book called "The Affair of the Second Goldfish." German must have a word for when you want to read a book, but its existence is purely fictional. Unerreichbarwegenfictivsehnsuchtkeit? Probably not. ☹️
Is this weird? I just started a nonfiction popular history audiobook. When quoting people like Herodotus and Ovid, the narrator used the same (British) accent as for the rest of the text. But when quoting Ibrahim ibn Yaqub, suddenly he started putting on a foreign accent.

"Sequoia” is a vexing, junk word for my pangram, because of the vowel blitz. #pangramThursday

I was trying to look up which episode of "Landscape Artist of the Year" had a segment on Dylan Thomas. Google AI super helpfully bumped relevant results down the page to tell me this:
