4:13, a struggle - only had 1D for a while, had to change 1A and 9A a couple times. PW fell into place easily enough though
8A would have been garbage and annoyed me in an NYT Mini, goddamn it
Yeah, fucksake on that one. Apparently this took me 6m 18s which isn’t a surprise. Got 2D and 1A off that then it took ages to get 5D and after that a LOT of hmmmm time to get the rest.

don’t get the “propel” part of PRESS - also didn’t we have TRESS in one of these just a week or so ago?
one of the easiest PWs ever
Yeah, tress is a favourite.
Gonna be press in the sense of push for the propel thing, I presume.
hmm, feels weak
I suppose they probably agree, and that’s why there’s the second ‘newspapers etc collectively’ part to the clue.

IRATE here and in the NYT Mini. Can remember a few instances where we’ve had a word crop up in one then the other shortly after, but never on the same day. Bound to happen at some point I suppose.

Would’ve been sub-1m without the input faff and going for HIPPY for a first guess at the PW
1:58, similar first PW guess
initial GRAPE for 7A slowed me down a bit

Had TAPAS in place of TACOS for too long.

quite fun to do the PW with no greens, been a while since we had that
felt a bit haphazard, but 2D and 3D started me off
