I’ve stopped reading most of the comments after completing puzzles, so much whining and griping, but I’m here to say I thought this was a fabulous and creative puzzle today, the most clever I’ve seen in quite a while! Congrats -

Great Tuesday, surprisingly tricky until it all fell into place at the last minute. I agree with Andrzej, people lambasting the AI clue completely missed the point - it was a clever mockery of AI poetry, purposefully banal and lifeless like all AI sludge.

Looks like a lot of people didn’t like 1D, but I thought it was hilarious! Great (rather easy) puzzle -

Very fun, Kathleen, congrats! Enjoyed it very much -

Thanks for the perfect Tuesday puzzle! I too see absolutely no problem with BLEH and BOLT - there are a lot of armchair crossword constructors out there!

Great puzzle, just tricky enough! Congrats to both of you - and stay cool!

Loved the puzzle today, very clever. Great job!

Very fun and so well-executed. Great job to the constructors!

Very clever and smooth, nicely polished! Wonderful debut, Herr DB!

Great puzzle! I’d heard the Sara Lee commercial hundreds of times in the 80s and 90s, but until today I always thought it was “no one does it like Sara Lee”! The ultra-processed “food” they make is garbage, of course -

Great job and a fun, clever theme!

Thanks, Kathy, I thought it was a great puzzle! I hate to admit how much of all those cereals I ate growing up… quite tricky but fun!
