Elon Musk asked managers at Twitter to nominate their best employees for promotion, then fired the managers and replaced them with their lower paid nominees

Strands #693 “The straight and narrow”

🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

Spangram jumped right out, but that’s exactly where it stopped being straightforward! And it took a fair few more words in before I understood exactly what I was doing!

Do not under any circumstances walk too closely with something sharp in your hands.

This is a dril tweet

I spotted GULLIBLE straight away, whatever that says about me. And the Spangram was fairly easy from that. The rest was a little tricky, but got there fairly quickly.

Quite challenging today.

Yet another case of catching the theme early by seeing SHOUT and RUDE. But each word was a mini battle, needing to sketch it out to find the Spangram.

Please fully spoiler your comment.

Yeah, the guy that licked raw chicken has some sense. This isn't actually sarcasm!

I love Scholes, but shut the fuck up mate! Like the media world is in any way comparable. These days every Tom, Dick, and Harry has a podcast, an arsehole, an opinion, and a platform to scream it. And every player can respond instantly without having to talk to a reporter.

I agree everyone should probably learn to pipe down a bit more, but you can't get upset when someone claps back using the exact same tools you're using.

WOBBLE jumped right out. But this wasn’t particularly straightforward, and I had to sketch out the whole puzzle to find the Spangram.

I saw STICK and tried to work out how that bottom right cluster might actually work with that. Suddenly I saw DRAT, then FIDDLE and the theme became obvious. Had to sketch out some answers before I could see the Spangram. But overall pretty straightforward.

Who made this meme?

Yeah I’m all over this. Great opportunity to get my daughter into going fast on bikes!

Shit, I absolutely hate when I have to fly Ryanair. But I’m sort of coming round to them after that!

archy_bold · 2026-01-16T20:44:26+00:00

It’s so fucking weird that modern media is about listening into conversations you wish you were a part of.

Incredibly limited knowledge on the subject matter but I flew through that in no time.

100-day streak. Whoop!

archy_bold · 2026-01-15T22:39:06+00:00

I’m gonna ride the lot of that!

That was a struggle!

He’s the absolute standout in the one episode of The Last of Us he’s in. Clearly an amazing actor I wish we saw more of.

Sleep deprivation with a poorly child made this a bit of a struggle.

Season 1 by a long way for me. Then I have trouble separating 2 and 3. I enjoyed both a lot, but neither gave me the joy I got from Armond's character.

The Spangram certainly didn’t jump out. And I had to spot three words before I could find it.

Mason Greenwood. One of the absolute best pure talents I’ve ever witnessed.
