This was the crossword puzzle in the New York Times yesterday.
Tausig’s crossword is a so-called Schrödinger puzzle, named for the physicist’s hypothetical cat that is at once both alive and dead. In a Schrödinger puzzle, select squares have more than one correct letter answer: They exist in two states at once. “Black Halloween animal,” for example, could be both BAT or CAT, yielding two different but perfectly correct puzzles. Only 10 such puzzles have now been published in Times history.
It’s the theme of Tausig’s puzzle, though, that makes it special. Four entries in Thursday’s crossword can include either an “F” or an “M.” Both are correct; neither is wrong. For example, “Part of a house” can be either ROOF or ROOM. The long “revealer” answer, tying those select entries together and spanning 11 squares smack-dab in the middle of the puzzle, is GENDER FLUID.
This puzzle, with “M”s and “F”s that aren’t fixed, is a masterful blend of subject and structure. “It potentially really evokes what gender fluidity is, which is not moving back and forth between two poles, but actually not being committed to either pole, and potentially existing in many states at different times,” Tausig said.

kermit and scooter riffing on how their physicality doesn't let them open the envelope to announce the winner. the audience immediately cracking up when it cuts to statler and waldorf because they know what the bit is gonna be. jim henson slipping into the kermit voice accidentally before bouncing back at record speed and riffing on it. richard hunt genuinely laughing at jim's joke but doing so in-character. prime muppets was something else man

if you, like me, are hesitant to enjoy what kinda sounds like "relaxes food standards" on the surface, I'm happy to report that this isn't "everyone can do what they want with your food supply without oversight" but rather a case where in NYC you had to have a permit to sell food and a second, superfluous permit to sell frozen desserts. This action simply removes the need for the second permit, rolling it into the first permit in order to help small businesses. Yay!
iirc it was like this terf who was absolutely fuming because her brother was dating a trans woman and she started claiming that she was clearly male socialized because the terf made quesadillas for dinner and the trans woman was like "wow :) this is really good, what is it?" and if she was a REAL woman she would instinctively KNOW what a quesadilla is
anyway it turns out the reason the poor woman didn't know what it was was because the terf had used hummus instead of cheese for some fucking reason so it wasn't even a quesadilla

This is a post about Minecraft Speedrunning (MCSR). Within MCSR, the biggest/most popular/most respected category is Any% RSG, which is when you load up a random world (seed), and beat the game (kill the dragon and enter the end fountain to roll the credits) as quickly as possible. And you can't use glitches.
Now come back in time with me. The date is June 3rd, 2025. The current world record holder is drip120, with a time of 7:01 (7 minutes, 1 second), which was set on January 3rd, 2024. That makes it the longest standing Any% RSG world record.
Enter Skycrab (Pinne). Skycrab has been playing RSG for a very long time at this point, and has a reputation as an incredibly dedicated RSG player, even when other top speedrunners have moved on to playing other things. Today, June 3rd, Skycrab uploads what many could consider the most devastating video in MCSR history.
6:17 Choke. Do yourself a favor and watch this video (it's pretty short) then come back and we can process what just happened.
After successfully completing the zero-cycle (that thing where went up the obsidian tower and exploded the dragon), Skycrab goes down to the fountain where the portal is about to appear. He can see the timer, and knows that he is about to cut the current world record time by 44 seconds. This is a *huge* timecut, the likes of which haven't been seen since 2021 during the original golden years of MCSR. He takes his hands off his keyboard, in awe. After years of grinding, after 206 days of streams, he has world record.
And then he dies.
When entering the end, he accidentally looked at an enderman for a fraction of a second, angering it. The enderman kills him, and a potentially category ending world record is lost.
The entire community grieves this loss. We've seen things like it happen before, but this is devastating in a special kind of way. The run was over. There was no more gameplay that was supposed to happen. To quote Skycrab himself, "Can't blame [it] on luck this time."
He takes a few days break, and on June 6th, he resumes the grind.
Five days later. June 11th, 2025.
Reports appear of another runner, Lowkey, having just broken the world record, but he wasn't live while it happened, and the video isn't out yet. We wait.
Sure enough, a few hours later, the video drops. Lowkey now holds the WR with a time of 6:50, making it officially the first any% RSG run to break the 7 minute barrier. After a year and five months, we finally have a new world record holder. But there feels something hollow about it, so soon after we all saw the extent of what could be possible. So we keep waiting.
In a few months time, MCSR will explode in popularity in a way no one could see coming. The community will grow exponentially, thanks to the influence of Midoffs and Ludwig. Although Lowkey has the official WR, the entire community holds Skycrab in a place of deep honor, with some even considering him the non-official WR holder.
Skycrab continues to play RSG almost every day, each stream watching the counter tick higher. 250. 300. He has a channel reward that viewers can redeem to make him play a game of Ranked (which is MCSR but 1v1 competitive). Despite only playing a total of 77 matches during Season 9, while the majority of top runners having played 900+, Skycrab manages to qualify for Season 9 playoffs, and walks away with 3rd place. Not long afterwards, he wins both the Couriway x EG Free4All and the first ever MCSR Ranked LAN event.
July 22nd, 2026: There comes a time every year, where in a period of about a month, everything happens at once. MCSR has just seen a new Ranked WR and a new No Reset WR. Several new top times have been completed, but Lowkey's 6:50 still stands at the top. Skycrab sits in a comfortable 9th place, with a time of 7:16. And then, on a pace that is hardly even in his top 20 best, he gets a new pb of 7:11, and posts the following on twitter.
[Image ID: Tweet from Skycrab, July 22. "NEW RSG PB 7:11. WR SOON?" A screenshot of the minecraft end credits and the time, 7:22 RTA, 7:11 IGT. /End ID]
July 27th, 2026. Around 14:00 UTC. Skycrab has been live for an hour, playing RSG as usual. His stream title is "RSG for something good idk day 345"
When he enters the nether, he spawns in directly on a housing bastion. That is a very good type of bastion for speedruns, as they're very consistent sources of gold blocks (and gold blocks are necessary for getting all the materials you'll need for the run, particularly obsidian and ender pearls.) In a normal run, speedrunners will hope to have 20+ ender pearls, so that they can maneuver around without worrying about having enough to fill in all 12 portal frames in the stronghold.
Skycrab gets 15.
This is followed up with sub-optimal blaze rod drops, (the other crucial ingredient for entering the end.) At this point, he'll later say, he basically given up hope that the run would be anything spectacular. He has to use a few pearls in traversing the nether, and doesn't leave with enough blaze rods to fill all 12 portal frames. This is a pretty big gamble. In order to enter the end, he would need 2 frames to be pre-filled, which is only a 23.01% chance. He also doesn't have much food, and, as previously mentioned, not many pearls.
He enters the stronghold at 5 minutes, 40 seconds. This stronghold looks nothing like normal, due to all sorts of weird cave generation. He's lost lots of good times to being unable to navigate the maze-like structure, and these almost seems like it will be one of them. He finds a chest with extra bread in it, and then he sees the portal room, partially exposed by aforementioned weird cave generation. He digs in, and sure enough. Two frames are filled.
Skycrab enters the End dimension at 5 minutes, 51 seconds. The zero cycle he has to hit is Back 92 (don't worry about what that means). The same as his 6:17 choke. He has to use his two remaining pearls to get there, and takes significant damage doing so. If not for the chest with bread, he couldn't have gone for it. He builds high, maybe higher than necessary, to y99, and successfully hits the zero cycle.
Live chat explodes with excitement, but restrained still. 6:17 taught all of us that killing the dragon doesn't mean the run is over. He descends from the obsidian pillar in a boat, leaping out just before it strikes the ground. Had he stayed in it, there's a real chance he could have died, and this whole thing would repeat. He jumps into the fountain and waits.
The credits roll.
The timer stops.
6 minutes, 39 seconds.
We have a new world record holder.
[Image ID: The video description of Skycrab's WR. FOLLOW: https://www.twitch.tv/skycrab / 6375991867154326391 / AFTER A WHOLE YEAR AFTER THE DEVASTATING 6:17 FAIL AND 3+ YEARS OF TRYING I FINALLY GOT THE WORLD RECORD!!! / THIS WILL ALWAYS BE MY PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT FOREVER! /EndID]
For three years, Skycrab has constantly demonstrated himself as one of the best Minecraft Speedrunners in the world, and now he finally has the title to prove it. After the most crushing failure the community has ever seen, he bounced back and kept trying. 345 days of streaming. Hundreds of thousands of worlds generated and discarded. Countless runs lost due to bad luck or small mistakes.
I got to meet Skycrab IRL a few months ago, and he is genuinely such a sweet and wonderful person to be around. The thing on everybody's lips, in the comments, in the chat, in the reaction videos, is the same thing I echo now: Nobody deserves this more.
I don't know how long this record will stand. It's absolutely not unbeatable, as even this run has quite a few small mistakes and timelosses. Maybe it will only stand for a few days, or maybe it will be at the top of the leaderboard for years. What I do know is that Skycrab has finally had his name recorded, permanently, in the books of MCSR history.
Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”
Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”
Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”
Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”
State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”
The vast majority of conservatives think of themselves as underdogs being repressed by the government/the elite, and they value personal freedom (specifically their personal freedom, they don’t care about other people). The will almost always agree with leftist points if you can find a way to blame the problem on their vague enemies (useful, since rich people are the root of most problems), and tie it back to their ability to say fuck everyone else. NEVER appeal to science, theory, logic, or human goodness. Make it seem as if you are a paranoid lunatic who trusts no one. They love it.
#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true
