20A made me giggle. A wonderful Saturday, easier than Friday but I'm not one to argue with someone who calls me out for a DIRTYMIND.

We've moved away from Pride and Prejudice (the 2005 version with Keira Knightly) too quickly as a society. That said, MATTHEW MacFadyen more than deserves his Emmy awards for Succession.

The ALBUMART clue really made me smile at my DESK(S). A clever Friday to end a personally stressful week-- much needed!

The NEW / NIX cross got me for a second, but this was a great solve! The right kind of crossword fun. I always love when Brian ENO shows up-- a genius of music and an even better "filler" word.

Hit my personal best for Tuesday! Always good to see my old friend Brian ENO on the grid again. 32A got a chuckle-- perfect early week cluing :)

Amused by 49A-- in my first fill I typed in GAY but figured it wouldn't be that explicit. One of the best books I've read, well deserving of a 5-star Goodreads review and homage in this puzzle.
