IRGC is Schrodinger's Iranian government... ;-/

Oh glory be - you post a puzzle but then present the solution - that is sort of poor form in my book.

https://no1sdailydigest.substack.com/p/daily-digest-2026-06-01

What is the point of posting a puzzle with the solution thereafter?

This is a serious question cause I got plenty of puzzles to solve - and I don't read this place for the puzzle solutions - for a puzzle proffered.

Explain yourself on this #1.

EDIT: the puzzle - https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_0RC!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faabdd972-9b12-42ba-ab88-fe723cefeda3_632x688.png

the solution

I just checked a bit more closely - that puzzle and solution - they are bullshit - I call you out on this.

~

I literally prove this is shenanigans - and your puzzles - not the same beginning to end are proof of it - cause is the "reader" not to assume the puzzle presented and the solution are associated with the same puzzle? If not - then my advice to you is stop playing head games.

~

Oh Glory Be I appreciate what you offer but look at the numbers in the puzzle images above - they are NOT the same. So tis evident you post one puzzle and then a solution to another and I literally call you out on that - that is BAD form numero uno!

No, it is not 😉

You should have looked UNDER the puzzle. It says in light grey: "Yesterday's Solution".

And for the ones amoungst us with diminishing sight, I am now changing the title of the solution to "Solution for <date of yesterday>" 😉

Thanks for improving the publication!

ha, ha...

Oh so you are trying to endear readers who solve puzzles?

Is that correct - ein?

~

I mean really - is that advertisement?

~

By the way:

Ein is the German indefinite article meaning "a" or "an", used with masculine and neuter nouns in the nominative and accusative cases. It also serves as the numeral "one" when preceding masculine or neuter nouns (e.g., ein Mann for "a man" or "one man").

~

Whatever - good improvement - I guess I didn't read the last article with the sudoku puzzle within. Now I know- but really better puzzles beckon - and time for some better ideas is what I think.

No1's avatar

Not especially. It was a fun exercise for me to add an ever changing one. I have also a crossword puzzle in there with words from the article itself 😉. But there was a bug with the randomisation, so it didn't turn up yet.

Now I'm a full fledged daily publication... Fun corner and all 😂

Sudoku eh? Kool.

Here's another fun time waster.

https://www.mahjong.com/game/Mahjong+Connect

See if you can beat my high score: 63.264

I'll even help you get started: on level one, concentrate on the bottom row. Only go up if you can't find a match. Each level has its own dynamic, so after that you're on your own:)

No1's avatar

Hej! It was you who asked 😂.

I'll check it out tonight (blocked by corporate proxy)

Buffalo_Ken's avatar

This sounds like a challenge and usually I am up for it - but this challenges seems a tad ingenuine ebear....why should I check out your time "waster" as you call it.

OK fine - I got a challenge for you all - play this game -no longer available but I got it on my older Ipad - Square Valley is the name of the game no longer supported by IOS - and my scores are in the top on many of the settings. So see if you can do better. I await your scores "ebear".

How exactly am I supposed to play a game that's no longer available? Also, why is my name in quotation marks?

Buffalo_Ken's avatar

Well I guess you can’t play it if you don’t have it already and I put your name in quotes so you knew I was thinking you would enjoy said game is all. No big deal and one wonders why the fella no longer shares the game. It really is clever but no harm meant.

But with that said you know above you claimed a high score and that seemed like a challenge ebear.

ebear's avatar

It's not often that someone takes me seriously when I'm actually joking. Usually it's the other way around:)

No1's avatar

Ej! I have exactly the same issue 😉

Buffalo_Ken's avatar

I can't deny sometimes "my fingers type" too fast before my brain discerns....I probably ought not be looking at a screen during these moments.....and would be better off working in the garden!

With that said I'm basically a "gamer" - and pretty much like them all - as long as the play is fair.

Have a great day!

Presumably for all these atrocities, sanctions are being applied, Russian-style, on Israel.

No1's avatar

Huh? Seems I missed that 🙄

Fake war in the sense of a lockstep of governments pushing a global disruption agenda by "war means" to the detriment of populations. So on the cover its a clown show.

The image from the X post on "IDF officer assassinated in Beer Sheva" is from a terrorist attack that injured two teenaged girls next to Bethlehem. Easily refuted propoganda. I must say, your reporting on Israel is embarrasing.

Let's cut some slack with x reports. Musk and many others including Ellison and Ackman have Jewish or Israeli backgrounds or family connections and they bankrolled twitters purchase.

It's called the fog of war for a reason.

It’s an automated update. It is no longer done by an individual.

As we know, anything pulling from the internet will have issues.

No1's avatar

Exactly. I think overall it's pretty awesome if I say so myself.

But as with everything automated: it's only as good as the sources.

Which I try and hunt constantly updating this feed.

Volland's avatar

I understand that. But I consistently notice that you (or your agent) chooses propaganda accounts that make no effort to source their reports.

No1's avatar

Is it possible to give me some X accounts to follow so the news becomes more balanced?

I'll check them out and see if I can integrate them into the feed.

Volland's avatar

I sadly had to leave X after the Musk takeover since it became so inundated with propaganda and bullshit. Which is why I appreciate you wading into this mess and fetching out useful info, at least with regards to the oil market.

No1's avatar

I find it's pretty balanced

Both sides fighting for "The Truth". I personally think it's a pretty balanced feed I created, but if you ever dare wade back: let me know which you think are a good addition and I'll surely check them out

Sadly my bot only speaks twit 😜

It’s my “go to”. Then if I have time I check out Ritter, Escobar, MacGregor, Wilkerson, Napolitano, MoonofAlabama, Wauk, Fu, Caitlin Johnstone, TheGrayzone, TheDuran, TheCradle etc.
