I hate that newspapers make it so easy to subscribe online but don't let you cancel online. So, I guess I am calling the NYT to cancel tomorrow. Despite my love for the recipes and reading the paper since I was a kid, I have to stop subsidizing their crap. transphobia, antivax, now antivoting!

The increasingly brazen endorsement of political violence by the GOP is a tremendously dangerous development that warrants high-profile media coverage.

It's not as if things are "broken," no matter what CNN says. It's that right wing people are deliberately making it this way all over because they hate humanity and everything good about humans, and they don't love anything.

Project 2025 was from the Chris Rufo school of fascist communications, where you discuss your evil schemes out loud, confident the "normies" are not paying enough attention to notice.

But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice.

I am certain that they are seeing a wave of subscription cancellations and negative comments on whatever social media dashboards they use, but NYT's Sulzberger will ignore that. Rather burn the country and navel-gaze over the ashes than get over the fact that Biden didn't give them special treatment
