"Something is preventing JavaScript on your computer" - that's just a sign of a security concious person.

Blocked from NYT? Oh, darn. Anyway.

It's just neoliberal garbage.

The problem with the NYT is that it continues to produce genuinely valuable and important journalism. But that journalism is then co-mingled with native advertising, reactionary propaganda, and imperialist propaganda to the point that it feels like I'm dumpster diving for my news.

If there was a way to subscribe to just the good stuff, they'd still receive my money. As it stands, my only real interaction with the NYT is through archived links and repost transcriptions, because I don't have the time or the energy to sift a few nuggets of silver out of that river of shit.

“I mean you’re not helping Leon. Why is that?”
