Welcome to day 5 of our ULP strike against the @nytimes. We just published even more strike games for you to play while you #Breakyourstreak. https://t.co/nZpCmnVbi8
I am shocked that this remains a befuddling thing for DC democrats and pundits. For fuck’s sake, in the last two years of the Biden administration, we took away expansions of the child tax credit, Medicaid, and unemployment insurance; we let the Fed raise interest rates on everything from cars, to homes, to credit cards; and then (!) we largely stood by while dominant firms raised the cost of rent, groceries, and everything else. Why would voters think the economy is anything BUT “not so good/poor”?!?
As a result, I do not know whether we will be able to publish the needle. There are good reasons to bet against it, though perhaps there are scenarios where things are running super smoothly; alternately, we hit bugs at the start and there's no chance.
If I had a nickel for every time I blogged about breaking your NYT Games streak to support a union I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

every once in awhile a screenshot of this lede goes around and while I agree it’s very funny, the piece itself (which I edited) is also super thoughtful and good https://t.co/54ui2QkG6C
Watching a Diners Drive Ins and Dives from 2008 and it’s a completely different world. A bacon cheeseburger was braggadociosly only $4.75. I looked up the website and that burger is $17 today.
The Flavortown you were raised to live in no longer exists.
Most underrated part of Christine Sinclair's presser today:
Christine to moderator: "So what do I do?" *pause* "Oh, JUST ME?!" *looks at Jessie Flemming* "Jessie, come on."
Flemming: "Absolutely not."
Christine: *Sits down with players*
Teammate: "Your chair's up there, babe. Get up there."
Christine: *Begrudgingly goes to podium*
