Crossy

Overall this was a good crossword, but I was disappointed by a handful of poorly conceived clue/solution pairs: “Got clean, in a way” - “in a way” implies some kind of metaphorical or figurative solution, but “bathed” is completely literal “Dark side of the moon” for “mare” is bad phrasing as a lunar mare would never be described as a “side” of the moon, even given poetic liberties “Reefer” is slang for marijuana, and “joint” is slang for a marijuana cigarette, though loosely related they’re not synonyms and this clue should have included extra phrasing to make the leap from a specific method of taking a drug to a slang term for the drug itself “Ad site” being the “destination” for a popup makes no sense whatsoever. I get that popups are associated with internet ads, but how is it a destination? And what is an “ad site”? The entire point of internet ads is they’re jammed into other websites you’re already on for some other purpose

Wouldn’t a slot labeled TBA be explicitly non-empty? As in, a slot in a calendar or schedule would be blocked off and labeled TBA. I’d think an “empty slot”would be just that and have no label at all It wasn’t particularly hard to get but it seemed clumsy in an otherwise well made puzzle
