Fill Me In #441: Protected vellum out of a sleeve.

Fill Me In

This week, Ryan and Brian are each a little pestier than usual, and ... okay, being real, Brian was super grumpy and Ryan wasn't making things any better. No Kealoa this week, but there is a useless fact, plus a Thunder Round of non-NYT puzzles:

• "Permanent Record" by Daniel Bodily (Universal, April 24)
• "Academic Terms" by Erica Hsiung Wojcik (The Modern Crossword, March 30)
• Crossword Club by Ada Nicolle (April 22)
• Los Angeles Times by Sarah Sinclair and Kelsey Dixon (April 25)
• "Ambitious Constraint Practiced Thoroughly" by Kieran J Boyd (April 5)
• "Fie! (Themeless)" by Ada Nicolle (Lucky Streak XWords, April 13)
