An Apology from The Aspecticor Times Editor in Chief

We have a lot to apologize for, which includes but not limited to:

  • The previous mini crossword being so hard for no reason.
  • Not posting a midi crossword in a full month.
  • That Graham Platner article from a month ago.
  • Allowing Mounty Mole to contribute to the publication.
  • Engaging in internalized biphobia.
  • Replying “so he’s using hacks? isn’t that cheating?” under Aspecticor’s most recent YouTube Short to stoke rage and discourse.
  • Constantly referencing Nirvanna The Band The Show’s Matt Johnson and Jay “From Hinge” McCarrol in these articles.
  • Being gayer than I am straight.
  • Not using Bluesky.
  • Not verifying my age to use Bluesky.
  • Making the TAT logo rainbow.
  • Unmaking the TAT logo rainbow.
  • Putting “FSLUR” in the April Fools mini crossword.
  • Being too lazy to save the now-lost VODs from 2025.
  • Saving VODs that will get weaponized by soon-to-be-enemy livestreamers.
  • Mentioning likely soon-to-be-enemy candidates in the last article, potentially provoking them.
  • Finishing all the mini crosswords 10 minutes to when I post them.
  • Choosing not to publish the mini crossword Aspecticor made, that contained terribly offensive and outdated language, but was still a suppression of speech by hiding it away from the world.

This is nowhere near all of it, this is just what I was cornered about at that Aspecticor Fan Meetup in D.C. last week. Saw Mitch McConnell there, nice guy.
