Leave a comment and let me know how you like it. (I assume I'll mostly get 1 or 5 star ratings based on the political message, no matter what people think of the puzzle itself ... but that's fine with me, I encourage open discussion!)

This is not a political forum, but when a gang of crooks are hell-bent on burning the whole world down, ALL public spaces become political. And Germany is certainly no stranger to these types of things.

Thanks for making your statement on project 2025. The political messaging around this is important, no matter the forum (though I did chuckle a bit at "our country" on this German server). You're correct to call it out as horrible in all those ways.
I don't tend to like heavily clued puzzles much, but I did like this one. The end of it caused me more trouble than I expected, though it might have been the film I was watching in parallel causing that.

Excellent puzzle, very smooth
solution path. It's a very important and appropriate message, and very well stated.

I don't know too much about the American initiatives, but this has even been a major news story here in Amsterdam. It's definitely evil. Thanks for the good puzzles!

Logic Masters is no place for political messaging BS.

A lovely little treat to end 2024. Almost 1* diff with all those lines. Doable with your mouse in one hand and bubbles in the other.
Happy new year, everyone.
