Bumping this as a reminder NYT leans hard on revenue from their puzzles, games, Wirecutter etc to fund their billionaire apologist headlines, contrarian Op-Ed take havers, and iffy/yikes livetweeting style of journo
Alternatives to NY Times Games & Puzzles 🧵
If it bothers you that your passive games subscription and clicks to the NYT Games cartel is funding their awful OpEd army and "journalism," there are a wealth of puzzle/game options less iffy/yikes complicit, and many are direct clones to your NYT faves.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.
3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.
Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Once upon a time I was being extremely obnoxious and talkative on IPv4 and with DNS, and I found an interesting thing, as you are likely to do when scanning entire namespaces looking for weird.

@scottwiener.bsky.social Hi! I was wondering if you’d had a chance to consider the impact of federal grad student loan changes on physicians in training.

If there's one thing that getting yelled at all day for saying that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom in a hypothetical 2028 election has made me more sure of... it's that I will not be voting for Gavin Newsom (or any other politician who pushes anti-trans nonsense) in 2028 or any other year.

@repjuliejohnson.bsky.social hey, I please stand up for trans people’s right to access necessary medical care. Please keep republicans from trying to adopt bizarre and discriminatory sex and gender language into our laws. If we still have a country in a few years, please support the Equality Act.

we should always be demanding everything; never start with a compromise
Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.

Identity documents are a means for the state to seize control of personal identity and should be abolished
Borders as we know them are a recent concoction.
The passport system as we know it dates to the First World War. ICE was founded in 2003 as part of the so-called "War on Terror," a disaster for freedom in every way.
These institutions are neither beneficial nor inevitable.

When an authoritarian seeks power by trying to force you to bend the knee for fear of consequences if you don’t do what he wants …
You just say no. You don’t go along. It’s painful to say no, but saying yes does nothing except show him you’ll back down.
That’s how democracies die.

@scottwiener.bsky.social Please pull California out of federal registries like CURES (which tracks opioid use), as these are tools that will be used to target people with very thin justification. Unconscionable risk to Californians if eg a pharmacist allows an early fill without a comment added.

I assume Trump has gone for the treasury department because he believes this will be an important step for hiring a private army under the Secret Service. If he’s content literally illegally occupying the treasury with non-government henchmen I assume he’s eager to direct money where he wants.

“…reporting on an executive order directly impacting trans Americans, the Times didn’t quote a single trans person.
This isn’t an accident or oversight. It’s part of a consistent pattern at the paper that reflects an editorial choice — with material harm given its role as the U.S. paper of record”

Legacy media helped create this anti-trans moment
Mainstream newsrooms like the New York Times downplay Trump's latest attack on trans rights after years of helping lay the groundwork for it.

@scottwiener.bsky.social hey, some legislative requests for the trans folks.
Shield laws for healthcare providers (preemptively, all aspects of trans care), making it easier in California to issue new birth certificates for trans folks (including out of state births)
