Does this mean our generation has officially come to power?

I sat down to do the NYT crossword puzzle today, for the first time in maybe a year, and was pleasantly dumbfounded by what I saw. Did you look at it today? Here are some of the clues!

  1. “Cries from Homer Simpson” only notable because,
  2. “Kwik-E-Mart clerk”
  3. “Enters Facebook, maybe” 
  4. “Any Beatles song, now” (answer: “oldie”)
  5. “Rapper’s crew” 
  6. “Director Apatow”
  7. ‘Boy Meets World’ boy”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Exclamation points allllllll mine. Never even dared to dream I’d see the day when I could emphatically pen in ”CORY”.)
  8. “Keanu Reeves’s role in ‘The Matrix’”
  9. “Unwanted plot giveaway” (answer: “spoiler”)
  10. “50 ____ (‘Candy Shop’ rapper)”
