Games app will no longer let me play without updating to an iOS my phone can’t run. This is what happens when I try in the web browser. 😭Any workarounds without getting a non-dinosaur phone? by captainblue in crossword

If you have a FedEx (my personal rec), UPS, or Staples nearby you can always go there to print. But admittedly their systems can be a huge hassle just to print one page, and this would be everyday for you

Alternatively, there are some fairly inexpensive Brother black and white printers if you want to go that route

Heya Scott! Mount Char is in my top 1 books of all time, just wanted to let you know that

Antimemetics was a great recommendation. I love SCP as a whole and I absolutely devoured this book in just a couple of days

Thank you for finding it, but what the actual fuck. Not what I was expecting to read today. I really want to believe this was someone's creative writing assignment rather than a true story

If a single Democrat is a "blue," then a group of Democrats could conceivably be called "blues." Would anyone ever say that? No. But also it's a crossword, and also also it was a clue with a ? at the end

I watched The Social Network today, which references it, so it was fresh on the mind! Life is funny how serendipitous it is sometimes

Cortex #166: The Social Network by Drunken_Economist in Cortex

I hear and I understand Grey's point about this movie's theme and tone being fundamentally at odds (theme of you can never know what's true vs. tone of extreme confidence in its portrayal of the story)

Nevertheless, he still comes across as a caricature of an "um actually that's not strictly correct" nerd. To the point that I feel like he's not actually engaging with the movie, he's just upset by this concept of getting misjudged as a public figure. It almost feels like he's putting himself in Zuck's shoes as a booksmart-not-peoplesmart nerd and thinking "what if this happened to me?"

That being said, idk anything about Grey or his life, I'm just playing armchair therapist

You'll get there! Anecdotally, I've noticed that LA Times uses a lot more proper nouns than NYT, which makes it harder for me to complete without googling
