ABC News was having fun with me yesterday. Got my hopes up for a second there...

Getting this too much with today's Bee. Kinda sucks the fun out of it eventually.

Great Bee for a Monday morning. Rest of the day doesn't matter now. @spellingbee-play.bsky.social

The "these were not war plans" defense sounds like "I didn't rob a bank- it was a credit union."

Surprised they didn't just use Twitter.

Not shocked, and I have no religious sensibilities to be offended, but I think it's an inappropriate Bee word. Sam regularly excludes many words potentially offensive to far fewer people than this one surely is. No bone to pick, just my opinion.

Solving the Bee without any grid, lists, or hints is so very satisfying.

FURTHER UPDATE:

I let Col. Shappert (Ret) know that many people wanted to express their appreciation and thanks to him. He has set up an email for that purpose (he doesn't do social media.) If you want to send your appreciation, he's at B52Dpilot [at] protonmail.com.

Music? It's ok.

Lyrics?
Video?

Priceless.

Modeling one's face to look like Dr Zaius hardly counts as "unique style."

Got to about 200 pts before checking the @sbsolver.com grid. Adding to one's vocabulary should never be resisted, even if it means trawling the dictionary for that last word.

Post a photo you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline.
