Cryptic clues posted most evenings, usually an anagram (cold-solve friendly) and often topical. My (other) main hobby is wandering middle-class neighbourhoods on summer afternoons and shouting, "Alexa, set an alarm for 3am".

Today I wrote the best cryptic clue I've ever written. Also today, I found out the best clue I've ever written has been done AT LEAST twice before! The Times blog of the puzzle in which the best clue I've ever written appeared, didn't even warrant it a mention! It may not be as good as I thought!

I was going to post about anti-genocide and anti-Semitism not being the same thing, it's fucking ridiculous to conflate the two, but I'm not sure I should poke that particular bear. But how else do I show my absolute support for today's (rather tame) announcement? Hmmm...
