NYT Spelling Bee

Bullshit! They need to update their word list. Pinko commie rag!!

...and leave my Windows 7 alone, dammit!!!

If you're looking for bullshit, the NYT is definitely where you'll find it.

I don't see the problem.

 

[Servant King]

Well I wouldn't say I'm looking for bullshit, per se. These days, it tends to do an exemplary job of looking for (and finding) me instead.

At least I got to use the word tobacco. I should probably be happy with that and call it a day. Small victories!

Tobacciani sounds like some sort of exotic drink.

So in the great pandemic we made quantinies. Yes it’s a real thing. (Suggest you watch the video by Mat Best)

So why not have a tobacco deprivation drink and name it Tobacciani drink.

You know that AI is capable of---and does---track individual word usage of Net users, right?

And lists are made and kept of anything the people who direct/target the AI find useful to them, right? (if something can be weaponized, it will be weaponized... humans will always human)

And the substance "tobacco" has been hated with irrational passion by the screeching rage-frenzy Government Karens for decades, right?

Just sayin'

The Covid killed John Prine and Charlie Pride, but the rest of us old Twangers ducked down and hid out for the duration, you know?

Pandemic Lockdown Video Hit by Rhonda Vincent (b 1962) with a special appearance by Dolly (b 1946) and the Rage and the Zac Brown band in seperate locations.

I Ain’t Been Nowwhere

Only Hillbilly Twangers with stars, bars, diamonds and oak leaf clusters know every word of the definitive Singing Canadian Hank Snow North American 1962 cover.

I’ve Been Everywhere

Hank Snow (1962)

I play that game daily. They seem to disqualify a lot of actual words.

You lost me at NYT.
