Jentacular libations à the Paris End of Fern Rouge. Friday’s usual #crosswordsinthepub from the SMH/Age, authored by DA aka @dontattempt.bsky.social Went soft on us, this week. **SPOILERS**

It's unattractive to brag but I figured out in January 2025 that the entire AI pitch was to professional status-insecure men who wanted secretaries and in a world where women had achieved educational parity and now the CEO of Nvidia says he's offloading cognitively to an LLM rather than his wife/PA.

#crosswordsintheppub on a Friday is usually a jentacular mission; day got away from me. Five bells in Sydney. 🍊 Negroni time. The first half went in, very swiftly; next quarter, logically. Last SW sector - wtf, DA? @dontattempt.bsky.social Will revisit. **SPOILERS**

The NACC explains why they currently have just 2 case workers managing all referrals, despite having more than enough in their budget for more staff. Apparently they’ve been mismanaging their own budget.🤦‍♂️ Does anything function correctly at the NACC? 🙄

Friday’s jentacular edition of #crosswordsinthepub hails (not hales!) from Fern Rouge, Sydney, Australia, cultural home of the Rabbitohs. DA aka @dontattempt.bsky.social has stopped me with three short. A couple more vessels of thinking juice, and will reengage. **SPOILERS**

An Australian political party needs to make a local equivalent. And force Hanson to watch it on repeat. Not expecting anything from the duopoly though: those hungry ghosts haven't realised they're dead ready.

#CrosswordsInThePub is tardy, because: a) Life is short b) @lrlr.bsky.social sent me an inappropriate anagram c) I’ve been jentacular imbibing, with both hands d) @dontattempt.bsky.social foxed me into thinking I’d nail this despite the handicap of day-drinking e) all of the above
