@Morn "rent" as a synonym for "torn." You rip something to make it rent.
So much pearl-clutching over 29D—fascism is widely considered right-wing, so to be opposed to it would reasonably be coded as left-wing. And a "group" does not imply a tight-knit organization, just a bunch of people with a common goal. Let's stop granting the other side's propaganda more power than it deserves.
Got all fired up to complain that while Heinz is ketchup, everyone knows that Hunt's is catsup! Except it turns out they changed it to ketchup in 1988. Oh well.
I was sure that "Raider in times past" was going to be HAN (as in Solo, Harrison Ford's previous role before playing a certain Raider of the lost ark). Overthinking it!
As a jazz guy I had the eldest brother of a musical trio as ELVIN JONES for quite a while. But even then I would've been wrong—Hank was the eldest! (Then Thad, then Elvin.)
For more about MANSAMUSA check out the great-but-cancelled Time Bandits TV series (even down to giving away so much gold)!
@Darren it looks like an O with an I through it, so your get both the I and the O, thus hIphOp, dIngdOng, tIptOp, etc.
@Lise You can describe a noun with an adjective. "An American is tall." "An American is foreign."
@Asher B. How can you expect to be persuaded if you don't want to be told the explanation? It seems you are determined not to figure it out. (It reminds me a little of people who are not content to dislike certain kinds of music, they have to accuse those who claim to like it of lying.)
@Julie I imagine 3-letter all-consonant words are really useful to constructors! I'm guessing that's also the reason I tend to encounter a certain Japanese conceptual artist, or the actress Ms. Edebiri, more often here than anywhere else.
I completed the puzzle last night, even copied and shared the result as usual with my crossword buddy, and then this morning it's somehow unfinished itself! All the letters are still there (and I can't change anything) but the app isn't recognizing it as complete and the timer is still going. Has anyone else had this happen?
Anyone get the bug on the app where you solve the puzzle and get the completion screen, then a few hours later it goes back to "you still have clues left to crack"?
Anybody else have the issue where you complete the puzzle, hear the music, but if you go back to watch the circles spin the timer starts again and it goes back to unsolved? (And there doesn't seem to be a way to make it completed again?) This has happened to me a couple of times with puzzles that that have an animation at the end.
@DB I look forward to all the variations of HBO Max Go Now Plus haunting puzzles for years to come
