While the campaign to save @the-independent.com #crossword continues, worth continuing to point out what a fantastic opportunity this is for @theipaper.com . No better daily cryptic - they know this already, as recycled ones form a key part of their strong puzzle section. @olyduff.bsky.social

I feel like Mike Hutchinson is Mikey’s dad in the Goonies, and we’ve got to go and find One Eyed Willy’s treasure to save the Goon Docks from being replaced by an ill-advised and unwanted new development. Sure we might have to fight off the Fratellis, but we’ll meet legends like Sloth along the way
