Chris Parker: they've lost me for life news is fungible & I give no fucks for wordle hasta la vista vichy handmaidens & nepo cat-killer

I just counted home page stories. The Daily Caller has five anti-Biden and six pro-Trump stories. The New York Times has seven anti-Biden stories and three that give this style of both-sides treatment to Trump. The Times really is sprinting off a cliff to satisfy their nepo-publisher’s vendetta.

The people who stay with the Times for Wordle are… driven by motivations I find opaque.

for a long time I would still look at the frontpage and see what stories they ran, but I can't in good conscience even give them those clicks anymore they and the people working for them are dead to me henceforth

There are so many Wordle clones on the web. Some are quite good! There are a lot of ways to scratch that itch!

I'll probably miss Wirecutter most of all oddly I stopped reading much of their arts coverage a decade ago lot of things I felt were slips that in hindsight were actually slides

I found the Wirecutter declined noticeably in quality after the buy out. It wasn’t trash, but it was less good.

total agreement

With the money I saved canceling my NYT I got a far far cheaper subscription to Consumer Reports which while it has blind spots is still really good

I canceled the NYT in a rage 7 years ago and am never coming back. I can play Wordle without a subscription but if that ever changes, I'll just stop playing.
