This week, Ryan and Brian do their best to stick to the script – it's a Thunder Round of fun puzzles, a new Contest of Now (download it here), and don't forget our Twitch stream for cryptic crosswords and P&A Magazine (Wed. and Sat. @ 7:00pm ET).

Today's hot links:

• MSSNG VWLS puzzles
• Self-referential story
• Will Nediger's Escape the Grid
• Boswords
• Puzzles for donations to #blacklivesmatter causes: Lone Shark Games • Erik Agard • Paolo Pasco

If you get bored, write something for the Fill Me In wiki.

And if you're feeling philanthropic, donate to our Patreon.
