        An awesome puzzle as usual! One little thing, for 36 across, PINED means to feel a strong desire or longing for something/someone. PINNED can mean located exactly. But as usual, I might not know something you do 🙃

          thank you! the themed clues are "missing the point", so the solution is pin(point)ed!
          • Kent D 🤓2:57 · 2023-08-04T01:35:48.159Z
            Gotcha! Like I said, I might not know something you do - turns out that's a fact 🤣

                            I loved that the theme revealer was near the top of the grid, not the bottom. Very nice!
