'It wasn’t lost on me that this happened within hours of the news of Charlie Kirk's murder. If there was ever a time for coming together, it was now.'
'Let's make peace because a racist podcaster was murdered' is an incomprehensible way of thinking. My brain cannot make those thoughts.

1. Everyone on the right in the UK has had their brains irrevocably poisoned by US culture wars.
2. What do all these assholes think university education entails? Where are they going to hear these upsetting things? Bursting into a pure maths lecture to yell 'THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS!'

okay right so I am on record as loving horse chestnuts and finding them almost magical so I am going tamp down every grumpy fibre in my being and say this is good, actually, because even though is an unhinged way to approach it, at least The Youth are getting into horse chestnuts

A woman can't even have an affair with a presidential candidate while writing stories about how great the candidate is and besmirching his opponent while presenting herself as impartial any more, because of woke.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

They are wizardy, but like wizardy, you can do it when you know how.

I'm no expert and normally fill about half the answers, but it's fun to do the little puzzles.

They're more fun than ones that are just like 'Alien star' (9, 6)

It absolutely in no way is CRAZE.

Craze doesn't satisfy the literal, which is always at the beginning or end of the clue, so here it would have to mean 'place' or 'brew' or 'sweetened brew'. Craze does not fit those.

Craze also doesn't satisfy *any* of the cryptic formation.

This was the last one on the whole crossword and I couldn't get it, hence looking it up.

It's LAGER TOPS

Place (spot) | royal (regal) | knocked back (words are reversed) | sweetened brew (the literal meaning - lager tops, lager with lemonade in).

ohhh noooo AI is trying to understand cryptic crosswords and brother it CANNOT
AI overview of an entirely wrong answer to a cryptic clue: The cryptic crossword clue "place royal knocked back sweetened brew" likely corresponds to the answer CRAZE, a term used in the game "Word Craze," and suggests that "place" could refer to an area, "royal" could be a hint to a specific type of royal, "knocked back" means to drink or consume, and "sweetened brew" refers to a sweetened drink. The answer "CRAZE" can also be interpreted as a "fad" or "intense enthusiasm," which can be a more common definition of the word. Here's a breakdown of the clue: Place: A reference to a physical location or an area. Royal: Can refer to a royal family member or a synonym for regal. Knocked back: A slang term for drinking a beverage quickly. Sweetened brew: A sweetened drink, or a reference to a specific type of brew, like a sweetened coffee or tea.
