Can anyone tell me what this "Playmobil History" action figure is that my common-law-stepmother-in-law picked up for my son on her European cruise? #randomgreektoys

Maybe this should be my last post here. End of a terrible era?

Random thing: I am in rather desperate need of hard drives. If you have anything — HDD, SDD, otherwise — 1TB or larger that you aren't using & are willing to part with, wipe it and send it to my legal fund address. Thank you! timburkelegalfund.org/#one

Meta contest alert! The cryptic itself is probably more challenging than finding the final answer, but either way it's a good one!
I set this week's @TheBrowser #cryptic #crossword, out today. Sample #clues: 1A. Rambling host bores... rude to interrupt? (3,5) 8D. Beat cop: "Easy, pal, or it's the end" (10) There's (as always), a meta element to be found! thebrowser.com/crossword

I'm a bit surprised to learn that the @vulture 10x10s are edited by New York's senior copy editors... because a few big errors have fallen through the cracks. The puzzles are still great, and this convo about crossword editing is very interesting! link.nymag.com/view/5c01a162…

Let me know if that link works for people, including non-subscribers of NY Mag. Queries is a limited-run newsletter from copy chief Carl Rosen, and always a fascinating read.
