There was no postcard winner for last week's Sunday Challenge, even with six days of hints. Will anyone best this week's challenge? It's just a crossword, how hard can it be? alexweldon.substack.com/p/sunday-chall…

I'm very much an "old man yells at cloud" style of gamer. Some of that is personal preference, but I do think there are certain ways in which gaming is objectively worse now than it used to be. Foremost among these is the phenomenon of games that refuse to let you take a break.

Hint #3: Note that the decoy title, “BRIGHTEN PALM DOCK,” has 16 letters with no repetition. Today’s hint is that both answers (the real title and the author) can be spelled using only those letters.

Researchers trained pigeons to identify cancer cells in breast tissue slides. But why? Are hospitals about to start handing off your biopsies to pigeons for diagnosis? Not at all. Often, when we're studying animals, we're really studying ourselves. alexweldon.substack.com/p/pigeonware-i…

Clue #2 for this still-unsolved puzzle: Yesterday, I said the answers are 9 and 18 letters long. Notice that the central image consists mostly of bigger, blockier pixels, but also contains a number of anomalously smaller ones. How many are there?
