Try it again

Me too. Any execution in our name is barbaric, but this is the stuff of the bread and circuses section of The Brothers Karamazov... Truly horrible people!

If you are as horrified and appalled as I am by the prospect of a televised firing squad execution, here are some ways to protest: * The White House comment line: 202-456-1111 * The Pentagon switchboard: 703-545-6700 And, of course, call your Representatives and Senators!

Oooh, very good!

@janoldenburg.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 12:26 PM

Sam, this omission tells me you haven't read enough 19th century British novels! #nytspellingbee

I tried off-road multiple times, in disbelief!

@janoldenburg.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:57 AM

Yes, that's my next step--and calls to the White House. But my Reps and Senators are all Dems, so I know they agree!

@janoldenburg.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 12:35 AM

Who should we protest to?

NEW: The big new Aaron Sorkin film The Social Reckoning opens tomorrow with a plot centred on Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen....but we need to talk about *another* Facebook whistleblower, Sarah Wynn-Williams. And why Zuck is gunning for her..

Yeah--I looked this up last time it was a fit. Learned it's generally capitalized because it comes from a place name. But I'm sure there are others like it that the Bee accepts--I just couldn't come up with examples

Finally got to QB on my own. Pangram 21st word. GN4L. This was my 600th QB out of 1162 puzzles. #nytspellingbee

Why we need to overturn Citizen's United (at a minimum): a 2014 study out of Princeton showed that politicians rarely pass laws their constituents want but respond to corporations & donors.

Los Angeles and San Diego if you are not protesting after this then what the fuck?

The Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass response to Trump: "His statements against our city are dangerous and could potentially compromise our safety." Trump: "[Iran] can take out a city. Let them take out Lo Angeles or San Diego. This is a very small price to pay. It's essentially almost over with,"

Congrats to UW Madison on the Nobel in Physics! He is an immigrant to the US. Immigrants make up 40% of US wins in science chemistry, medicine, and physics in this century.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Agree. Saw him on @arimelber.bsky.social last night and it was almost entirely unrepentant BS. I didn't think Ari was hard enough on him and I thought his self-justification of his own cowardice was pathetic.

@janoldenburg.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 3:03 PM

For today, please add "valval" and "valvar."

@janoldenburg.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 9:47 PM

Pangrams first. GN4L. But now I'm stuck two words short of QB. Except total words, no hints yet. #nytspellingbee
