Enjoying a lazy game day and my #puzzmorapt

Screenshot of my personlized year-end stats from game site puzzmo.com. It says “You’re a Rotation Rockstar: You spin, you win. No notes.” I’m honestly not sure what that means. But apparently I contributed 10,947 of the 140 million words found by Puzzmo players this year, and did 1,044 of 25 million puzzles.

So the @washingtonpost.com policy to not cover itself is in effect when one of their editors gets poached by @nytimes.com (from www.npr.org/2024/12/09/n...), but not when one of their sports columnists gets a big honour (www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/...). Got it!

Screen shot of message at Elections Nova Scotia’s website that says: “Provincial General Election 2024
