Major Muddle

You’ll have to use all of your senses to solve Kareem Ayas’s crossword.

By Sam Corbin

Jump to: Today’s Theme | Tricky Clues

MONDAY PUZZLE — Today’s puzzle is for those who believe that rules were made to be broken. If that’s you, read on — and if it isn’t, welcome to the party.

Since they serve as ideal entry points for newer solvers, and format changes might intimidate those just learning the ropes, Monday crosswords rarely break with tradition. But an unusual grid isn’t necessarily an impenetrable one, and this puzzle, constructed by Kareem Ayas, bends the rules in a way that solvers of any level will enjoy.

Christina Iverson, a puzzle editor for The New York Times, emphasized the accessibility of Mr. Ayas’s crossword. “The trick would be too easy for any other day,” Ms. Iverson said, adding that solvers will be further aided by explanatory clues and a theme that, once revealed, has a domino effect. “Once you get it, you can write in all the three-letter words.”

Today’s Theme

The reason all the three-letter words can be identified so quickly is that they’re all the same word. That word is the “Guinness world-record holder for ‘English word with the most meanings’” (71A): SET.

SET has 430 senses recorded in the Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, according to the Guinness entry , so the “Complete collection” (62D) of meanings (that is to say, the SET) could not be featured in today’s puzzle.

Canada’s Extremist Attack on Free Speech

A bill making its way through the Canadian Parliament would impose draconian criminal penalties on hate speech and curtail people’s liberty in order to stop crimes they haven’t yet committed.

Listen to this article

Produced by ElevenLabs and News Over Audio (NOA) using AI narration.

In 1984 , George Orwell coined the term thoughtcrime . In the short story “The Minority Report,” the science-fiction author Philip K. Dick gave us the concept of “precrime,” describing a society where would-be criminals were arrested before they could act. Now Canada is combining the concepts in a work of dystopian nonfiction: A bill making its way through Parliament would impose draconian criminal penalties on hate speech and curtail people’s liberty in order to stop future crimes they haven’t yet committed.

The Online Harms Act states that any person who advocates for or promotes genocide is “liable to imprisonment for life.” It defines lesser “hate crimes” as including online speech that is “likely to foment detestation or vilification” on the basis of race, religion, gender, or other protected categories. And if someone “fears” they may become a victim of a hate crime, they can go before a judge, who may summon the preemptively accused for a sort of precrime trial. If the judge finds “reasonable grounds” for the fear, the defendant must enter into “a recognizance.”

A recognizance is no mere promise to refrain from committing hate crimes. The judge may put the defendant under house arrest or electronic surveillance and order them to abstain from alcohol and drugs. Refusal to “enter the recognizance” for one year results in 12 months in prison.

This is madness.

The proposed law, the result of efforts that began in 2019 after a terrorist attack in New Zealand, does many other things too. One section concerns the obligations of online platforms to police content. Another bears on the worthy goal of protecting children from viewing pornography and stopping the distribution of child-sexual-abuse material, raising the odds that the bill will pass with too little attention to its worst provisions. (In February, it passed its first reading in the House of Commons. Becoming law would require a second and third reading in that body, where amendments can be proposed; passage in the national Senate; and approval by the governor general .)

Even the bill’s most Orwellian sections have powerful supporters. Justin Trudeau’s government brought the bill before Parliament. Arif Virani , Canada’s minister of justice and attorney general, is championing it. “We need the ability to stop an anticipated hate crime from occurring,” he declared last week. “The Conservatives need to get on board. Now.” According to The New York Times , some version of the bill is likely to pass, because “Trudeau’s Liberal Party has an agreement with an opposition party to support government legislation.”

Ali Breland: The MAGA internet calls for war

Just countries do not punish mere speech with imprisonment, let alone life imprisonment. Just countries do not order people who have not committed and are not even accused of a crime to be confined to their home or tracked with an ankle bracelet. I have reasonable grounds to fear that the Trudeau government is going to trample on the civil rights of Canadians. That is hardly sufficient to secure the house arrest of its officials.

Earlier this year, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association urged substantial amendments to the legislation. “The broad criminal prohibitions on speech in the bill risk stifling public discourse and criminalizing political activism,” it warned. “The bill imposes draconian penalties for certain types of expression, including life imprisonment for a very broad and vaguely defined offence of ‘incitement to genocide,’ and 5 years of jail time for other broadly defined speech acts. This not only chills free speech but also undermines the principles of proportionality and fairness in our legal system.”

But amendments would not go far enough. No one who favors allowing the state to imprison people for mere speech, or severely constraining a person’s liberty in anticipation of alleged hate speech they have yet to utter , is fit for leadership in a liberal democracy. Every elected official who has supported the unamended bill should be ousted at the next opportunity by voters who grasp the fraught, authoritarian folly of this extremist proposal.

Kendrick Lamar Gives Surprise Speech at Compton College Graduation Ceremony

The 'Like That' rapper paid a visit to his hometown's college for his first public appearance since his feud with Drake

Charlotte Phillipp is a Weekend Writer-Reporter at PEOPLE. She has been working at PEOPLE since 2024, and was previously an entertainment reporter at The Messenger.

• Kendrick Lamar gave a commencement Saturday at Compton College
• When I walk out in these cities, in these countries, I can be proud and say, 'This is where I’m from,'" the rapper told the crowd of his hometown
• Lamar's speech marks his first major public appearance since his beef with Drake began dominating headlines and the rap charts

Kendrick Lamar  is honoring his hometown with a surprise appearance at a college graduation ceremony.

On Saturday, June 8, the seventeen-time  Grammy winner, 36, stopped by Compton College's graduation in Compton, Calif., to address the 2024 graduating class and share some words of wisdom as they prepare to make their mark on the world.

"I wanted to come out here just to tell y’all how much I appreciate y’all. I’m proud of the city of Compton, I’m proud of Compton College, most importantly I'm proud of the graduates out here,” Lamar opened his speech.

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty

"I know what it takes. You had a lot of hardship, not only in your house, in your communities, but most importantly, within yourself, and that's the toughest thing to overcome," he continued, addressing the graduates. "We still growing day by day, brick by brick, making sure that we develop, not only in physical form but in the spiritual as well."

“Seeing y'all out here, it is not only a representation of the world, but it’s a representation of me. When I walk out in these cities, in these countries, I can be proud and say, 'This is where I’m from,' " he said.

Lamar continued to speak about his love for Compton, and also took time to address the members of Gen Z in the graduating class about to enter the working world.

"Some people tell us, 'This generation, they don't have what it takes, Gen Z,' " the "Like That" rapper said. "We talk about it all day. They try to pull us down and say we don't know what we're doing. They wrong, though. You know why, because not only y'all have what it takes, but y'all have something even bigger. Y'all have the heart, y'all have the courage to be independent thinkers."

Lamar continued: "Now it's all about taking these resources and taking what you learned and applying. It's as simple as that. You'll have hardships, you gonna have tribulations as you had coming up here, but guess what? You have someone special in your corner and all around you and that's God, period. Every step of the way."

Lamar's speech marks his first major public appearance since his feud with Drake began dominating headlines and the rap charts. One of his diss tracks against the "First Person Shooter" musician , "Not Like Us," has been topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a month since it was released on May 4.

Vaughn Ridley/NBAE via Getty

Drake and Lamar's exchange of diss tracks first began when Lamar joined forces with  Future  and Metro Boomin for "Like That." In the song, Lamar took aim at  J. Cole  and  Drake , prompting quick responses from both of the musicians, and several more disses exchanged between Drake and Lamar over the course of the last month.

The father of two also recently set his first concert date since the feud began . On June 19, Lamar is set to perform at a one-night-only "Ken and Friends" show put on by pgLang and Free Lunch called The Pop Out. The concert will take place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Doors open at 4 p.m.

Tennessee politician's 6-year-old son upstages House speech with silly faces: Watch

As republican rep. john rose gave a speech on the house floor lambasting the prosecution of donald trump, his 6-year-old son guy was making a barrage of silly faces in the background on c-span.

A 6-year-old boy stole the show inside the House of Representatives on Monday as he made silly faces for the C-SPAN camera as his father spoke at a podium.

Rep. John Rose, a Tennessee Republican, was on the House floor addressing the trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on Friday.

But whatever message Rose had was upstaged by his son, Guy. The boy was seated behind Rose and made a barrage of silly faces for the C-SPAN camera during his father's serious talk. Guy eventually grew bored and moved outside of the camera's view.

The video had been viewed more than 1.5 million times since it was posted on X as of Monday afternoon, drawing numerous responses, reactions and GIFs.

"So sorry I was slow responding to your email," wrote X user Aaron Fritschner . "I was tied up watching this over and over again."

Watch Guy 'have his moment' below

Who is John Rose?

John Rose, 59, is a member of the U.S. House, representing Tennessee's 6th Congressional District. Rose has served Tennessee since 2019 and is running for re-election in 2024.

During his speech he lambasted Trump's conviction.

"Using the justice system to engage in a politically driven prosecution and now conviction of a major political party nominee running for president, especially on the charges brought against Donald Trump, should gravely concern every member of this body, as well as every American across our country," Rose said.

Many amused by Guy's antics, including his father

Rose took his son's viral moment in stride, writing on X that: "This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother."

The congressman's office said that Guy was with Rose for the week to "job shadow" his father after recently finishing kindergarten. Rose's other son, 3-year-old Sam, and wife Chelsea are in Tennessee.

Many felt that Guy got the job done and then some, writing that he provided a bit of a joy during an otherwise serious moment. Many said they struggled focus on anything Rose said because they were too busy looking at Guy.

"I didn’t hear a word he said," X user @clalter59 wrote. "This kid will be a comic one day."

You know, when cameras first got brought into the House, Tip O’Neill was adamant that they be at fixed positions and angles, so members would know to stay *out* of those zones if they didn’t want to be on the screen.

D-Day 80th anniversary in Normandy

Our live coverage of the 80th anniversary of D-Day has ended. Read more about D-Day here or scroll through the posts on today's events below.

French President Emmanuel Macron: "Let us be worthy of those who landed here"

From CNN's Joshua Berlinger and Emmanuel Miculita in Paris

French President Emmanuel Macron closed the international ceremony marking 80 years since D-Day with a speech honoring the soldiers who fought in the largest seaborne invasion in human history and, as other leaders have done throughout the day, drawing parallels to the current geopolitical unrest — most notably the war in Ukraine.

Perhaps the strongest part of Macron's speech was its end, in which he honored Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — who was in attendance — and the Ukrainian people's fight against Russia.

"Faced with the return of war to our continent, faced with the questioning of everything they fought for, faced with those who claim to change borders by force or rewrite history, let us be worthy of those who landed here. Your presence here today, Mr. President of Ukraine, says it all,” Macron said, followed by a brief interruption of the roar of a fighter jet flyover.

Europe has not seen the type of ground conflict that is raging in Ukraine since the end of World War II, and this year’s anniversary comes as Russian forces advance on the battlefield – handing Kyiv a series of tactical defeats and poking holes in the already fragile Western alliance opposed to the Kremlin’s war.

"We know that liberty is a fight for every morning," Macron added. "For everyone in this world that lives hoping for liberty, for equality, for fraternity the sixth of June is a day without end, a never-ending dawn."

World War II veteran dies while traveling to France for D-Day anniversary

From CNN’s Dakin Andone

Robert Persichitti, a 102-year-old World War II US Navy veteran, died last week while on his way to France to commemorate  the 80th anniversary of D-Day , according to Honor Flight Rochester, a veterans organization.

Persichitti was a “wonderful, pleasant, humble guy,” who was “easy to talk to,” said Honor Flight Rochester President and CEO Richard Stewart, who told CNN he learned of his friend’s death last Friday.

“We miss him,” said Stewart.

While Persichitti passed away bound for Normandy — where the Allied forces’  landing on June 6, 1944 , laid the foundation for the defeat of Nazi Germany — he served in the Pacific as a radioman aboard the USS Eldorado, Stewart said. His tour of duty included Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Guam, according to Stewart and  the New York State Senate Veterans Hall of Fame , into which Persichitti was inducted in 2020.

Persichitti fell ill last week during a stop in Germany while headed for Normandy, Al DeCarlo, a friend who was traveling with Persichitti, told  CNN affiliate WHAM . Persichitti was airlifted to the hospital and died soon after, DeCarlo said.

“The doctor was with him. He was not alone, he was at peace and he was comfortable,” DeCarlo said. “She put his favorite singer, Frank Sinatra, on her phone and he peacefully left us.”

Persichitti had heart problems in the past, “but for 102, I would say he was in superb health,” Stewart told CNN.

Persichitti was born in a coal mining town outside Pittsburgh, Stewart said, describing his friend's “humble, poor beginnings.” After the war, Persichitti worked as a carpentry teacher in Rochester, New York, according to the Veterans Hall of Fame, and in 1972 received a degree from SUNY Buffalo.

Trump posts tribute on 80th anniversary of D-Day landings in Normandy

From CNN's Kate Sullivan

Former US President Donald Trump on Thursday posted a tribute to the “immortal heroes who landed at Normandy” to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. 

“Today, we honor the immortal heroes who landed at Normandy 80 years ago. The men of D-Day will live forever in history as among the bravest, noblest, and greatest Americans ever to walk the earth. They shed their blood, and thousands gave their lives, in defense of American Freedom. They are in our hearts today and for all time,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

France's Macron awards 3 more people the Legion of Honor

From CNN's Emmanuel Miculita and Joshua Berlinger in Paris

French President Emmanuel Macron used the international ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day to award the Legion of Honor, France's highest military or civilian distinction, to three more American veterans: Joseph Miller, Richard Calvin Rung and Arlester Brown.

Earlier in the day, Macron awarded the Legion of Honor to Christian Lamb , a 104-year-old British woman credited with having made the maps for the D-Day landing, and 11 other American veterans.

Testimonials and musical performances are taking place during international ceremony

As the international ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day on Omaha Beach is underway, testimonials from those who fought in the war are currently being read out.

Along with the testimonials, musical performances are demonstrated in front of attendees.

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to deliver an address later during the ceremony.

Austin says "Ukraine matters" in the midst of D-Day ceremonies

From CNN's Shania Shelton

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin discussed Russia's war in Ukraine while participating in D-Day ceremonies, telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer that "Ukraine matters."

"I have engaged members of Congress on both sides, in both parties. I have seen throughout strong support for Ukraine, and even though it took a while to get the legislation through, I was confident that that the right thing was going to happen."

He continued, "Because anytime you see that type of support on both sides of the aisle for a cause, Congress will find a way to get things done, which is what they did in this case, because it's the right thing to do."

The international ceremony is underway

From CNN's Josh Berlinger in Paris

The international ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day on Omaha Beach has begun.

More than 20 heads of state and government and representatives from royal families across Europe are in attendance.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives at international ceremony to standing ovation

From CNN's Joshua Berlinger in Paris

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at Thursday's international ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day to a standing ovation and a rousing applause.

Zelensky's presence — and Russian leader Vladimir Putin's absence, despite Soviet Russia's key role in winning the war in Europe — is highly symbolic given how the war in Ukraine is casting a shadow over the day's events.

Several world leaders have already used their speeches to cast parallels between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the aggression of Nazi Germany that sparked World War II.
