Faine Greenwood: It is time to stop paying the New York Times a dime. Yes, that includes Wordle and the recipes. Sorry.

It is time to stop paying the New York Times a dime. Yes, that includes Wordle and the recipes. Sorry.

The New York Times ratfucking operation in favor of Trump is so incredibly blatant that it’s beyond parody. If you saw ratfucking like this coming from a newspaper in a movie, you’d probably think it was a bit over the top.

I'm going thru Wordle withdrawal and when I looked at the NYT today on the web (sub canceled last month after 40+ years) I thought my gawd the paper has lost its damn mind over Biden.

I switched from Wordle to Octordle on rescue mode. I think @hatfield.bsky.social posted about it. I love it. And Squareword.

Octordle on rescue or sequence is my jam! Will have to try Squareword.

I have to use a pencil and a lot of fiddling but it’s great. My goal is always 7 but sometimes I can manage getting it in 6. This entire notebook is me doing that and octordle

Squareword is great! Much more interesting than Wordle.

Ooh me too! I also enjoy Referdle.

I play Quordle from Merriam Webster instead www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/

www.merriam-webster.com

Wordle is free and you can play without a subscription thanks to the deal the creator cut when he sold it to the NYT. I dropped the Times years ago for, I can’t even what inanity, and I enjoy using for free something they paid $1M for.

You were absolutely right

I like Waffle, but I don't know if that one has a problematic affiliation.

I need people to know about this. It's more fun and not NYTs. There are other variations as well but eventually you get to where one dinky box doesn't even scratch the itch. www.sedecordle.com

It's awesome. Adds a bit more tactical thinking to a simple word game

i post this I feel like almost every week and it's always over some article or op-ed that they've published. It's everything they do that should be viewed as tainted. Not even jamelle bouie balances all their awful shit.

when i say the NYTimes does not deserve your money, i also mean NYTimes cooking, NYTimes puzzles, and crosswords and wordle, Wirecutter, and all their podcasts

oyin.bo/receipts/?ha... (I also did an enormous thread of these back when I was on Twitter)

Search Account History: on BlueSkyoyin.bo When you want to stay clear of any toxic stuff, before following someone.

I also feel like this extends to the Atlantic (When i say the Atlantic does not deserve your money, i also mean their newsletters, their crosswords, and all their podcasts) And the grauniad, but I never bothered wrote one out like the two above as they've been rotten for years on trans topics.

Given court evidence on how openly Trump's handlers were writing stories to feed to media, how likely is it that NYT and Atlantic are doing it these days, that dark money writers the stories and media just spins a wheel to assign a writer's name to the byline?

You can play wordle and connections without a subscription.

Ah, but are they still benefiting from your participation in their platform? Just because Twitter, or Facebook, or Insta is free, doesn’t mean it’s free

They can't run ads if you use an ad blocker.

They can still track you, sell your data to third party assholes, and use your participation as a revenue generating statistic

If they were making money doing that, they wouldn't be charging for their "news". It's fine to play wordle.

I play games on wapo, nyt & usatoday. They are all free. That means these 3 sites are scraping as much data as they can from my device & anything connected to me.

You can play _bootleg_ Connections and not give them a click! connections.swellgarfo.com/nyt/389

Should I ruin NYT Wordle? Should I tell everybody how to get the correct answer every time on the first try - including predict all future answers?

Do ittttt

Just posted it for 5 minutes and deleted. But I can DM it if you'd like.

Does anyone know if you lose the recipes you've saved? bsky.app/profile/luan...

If you cancel NYT all access, do you lose all the saved recipes in the food app? Literally asking for a friend. I canceled years ago.

If you download them to a recipe manager like Paprika, that should do it

if you download them to paprika you can share them with other paprika users too 👀 who maybe didn't have a subscription 👀 and who cook a lot 👀

Yesssss thanks for mentioning that I am such a Paprika evangelical

me too and we should have a group chat devoted just to sharing paprika files since i don't think there's a way to "friend" someone on the app itself

Count me in to the group chat!

Possibly the only app I have ever paid for

Worth every penny, it’s wonderful

One time fee or recurring?

I misinterpreted this but in a way, same page-- www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn7U...

Yay thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

I just learned about paprika here and also as a native Austinite, love your name!

Plz tell me about this Paprikash

it’s an awesome recipe management app, I love it and highly suggest it

what i learned recently is it works even better on an ipad than on an iphone too, the scheduling tool in particular

This?
