My fellow setters seem to have no memory of the events leading up to the Great 2022 GAS/GAPP Switcheroo… I guess that means it’s up to me to tell the whole story.

It’s like something is preventing me from sharing this story with all of you. We need to get to the bottom of this… After all, by Saturday, we’ll REDACTED REDACTED made you look REDACTED.

Today’s GAPP is a Shakashaka!

Rules: Shade a right triangle in some empty cells, each of which occupies exactly half the cell it’s in. Each unshaded area must be rectangular in shape. A number in a cell represents how many of the (up to) four cells orthogonally adjacent to the clue contain triangles.
