A fun Saturday solve. Southeast corner came together first, I attribute that to too many years watching South Park. Always get a chuckle when ASSHAT shows up in the NYT.

Fun solve though it took a bit for the lightbulb to come on. GOLFRANGE was my first theme solve and "ambit" did not resonate with me. Eventually an "aha" moment at SIERRA CLUB and the rest filled in nicely. And after a post-puzzle Google search, I now know the meaning of "ambit". Always a good day when you learn something. 😎

The "aha moment" came with Andy Warhol. Figured it had to be POP and my eye drifted up to where I had ABCS and the INFINITE SCROLL theme clicked. Nice theme and a fun Thursday solve.

If I did this with paper and pencil I would have worn out my eraser today. Went in lots of different directions and then came back when the crosses filled in. I think I used four different answers for "Dear ____". 🤦🏼. Excellent puzzle, I really enjoyed the cluing.

Enjoyable solve this morning, nice to not need a lot of trivia knowledge for this one. Might have set one of my better Sunday times if it wasn't for that darn hockey game stealing my attention. USA!

Loved the cluing in this puzzle. Lots of smiles when they came together. Excellent entry into the weekend!

The Who's "Eminence Front", I always heard "unlimited funk". Still do. 😎. And one of their best intro beats.

Not my favorite puzzle but probably because I had not updated the NYT Games app so the circles were not visible when I worked the puzzle. I got the revealer but had no idea how it related to the starred clues. Doh! Note to self, check for updates before the Thursday puzzle!
