Back at ibercon 2026 we took this picture, and upon seeing it i realized it looked like a baroque drawing...
So today I painted an illustration based off it on stream, it was so much fun to see it come to life and explaining the process!

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Pensavo ci fosse qualcosa che non andava in me”: il cruciverba “impossibile” del New York Times Magazine manda nel panico gli enigmisti

Vi ricordate quando a casa sbagliavamo i compiti di matematica e, dopo mille tentativi, finivamo per dire ‘avrà sbagliato il libro’? Agli appassionati lettori del New York Times è accaduto esattamente l’opposto: si sono arrovellati per il cruciverba del 18 aprile senza poter immaginare che dietro potesse esserci un errore. E, invece, c’era. A raccontare quanto accaduto è stato il magazine Vulture. Nel famoso cruciverba del giornale c’era infatti una definizione mancante, la 5 orizzontale. Un errore che rendeva il gioco semplicemente irrisolvibile.
Come racconta anche Rivista Studio, la conferma è arrivata solo in serata, quando il giornale ha ammesso che “il cruciverba nell’edizione cartacea del New York Times Magazine contiene una griglia che non corrisponde agli indizi”. Troppo tardi per i tanti lettori che ormai avevano cominciato a dare la colpa a loro stessi. “Non mi è nemmeno venuto in mente che potesse essere un loro errore, ho semplicemente dato la colpa a me stessa”, ha detto a Vulture Irene Papoulis, ex insegnante di scrittura al Trinity College.
Una reazione simile a quella di Mike McFadden, dal New Jersey: “Pensavo che ci fosse qualcosa che non andava in me, non pensavo che potessero commettere un errore”. Un riflesso quasi automatico davanti a un’istituzione dell’enigmistica come il New York Times, dove l’errore non è contemplato.
E invece, per una volta, l’errore c’era davvero. Una griglia che non corrispondeva agli indizi, probabilmente a causa di un problema tecnico legato al recente redesign della rivista. Risultato: uno dei rarissimi, forse il primo, cruciverba impossibili nella storia della testata.

“I was thinking there was something wrong with me”: the “impossible” crossword puzzle in the New York Times Magazine is sending crossword puzzlers into a panic.

Do you remember when we made mistakes on our math homework at home and, after a thousand attempts, we would end up saying ‘he must have made a mistake with the book’? Exactly the opposite happened to avid readers of the New York Times: they struggled with the crossword puzzle of April 18th without imagining that there could be an error behind it. And, instead, there was. Magazine Vulture told the story of what happened. The famous crossword puzzle in the newspaper actually had a missing definition, the 5th horizontal one. An error that simply made the game unsolvable.

As Rivista Studio also reports, the confirmation only arrived in the evening when the newspaper admitted that “the crossword puzzle in the print edition of the New York Times Magazine contains a grid that does not correspond to the clues.” Too late for many readers who had already begun to blame themselves. “It didn’t even occur to me that it could be their error, I simply blamed myself,” said Irene Papoulis, a former writing teacher at Trinity College, to Vulture.

A similar reaction to that of Mike McFadden, from New Jersey: “I thought there was something wrong with me, I didn’t think they could make a mistake.” A nearly automatic reflection in front of an enigma institution like the New York Times, where mistakes are not contemplated.

And yet, for once, the error really existed. A grid that did not correspond to the clues, probably due to a technical problem related to the recent redesign of the magazine. Result: one of the rarest, perhaps the first, impossible crossword puzzles in the history of the publication.

I was on my front porch and spotted this turkey #vulture (Cathartes aura) soaring high overhead and started to take some photos of it when by chance this #jet suddenly passed through the frame. I live under an approach flight path to IAH so jets often pass in the skies above - fortunately we are far enough away from IAH that the jets are still at a high enough altitude that we don’t get much noise.
