I can’t let 2024 end without publishing a single crossword here, can I? I did put out a Lil AVC X puzzle a few months ago. Hopefully you all played that one. That one got lovingly edited by Will Eisenberg. This one? Absolutely not. Editing ideally helps a puzzle out, or helps its solvers out. But this puzzle is committed to being unhelpful.
(If you stream it, thank you, and of course let me know!)
