If you work in tech, like I do, then help support our fellow tech workers at the New York Times by not playing any of the NYTimes games or using the NYTimes cooking app (this is their ask) until the strike is resolved.

New York Times Tech Workers Go on Strike

The Times Tech Guild represents more than 600 software developers and others who run the back-end systems behind The Times’s digital operation.

The action, or rather inaction, the Times deems to be woke is that MIcrosoft is refraining from interfering with employee unionizing. Unlike Amazon and others which aggressively, sometimes illegally, interfere.

So when this paper's doing well, people who work there every day to make this paper a global phenomenon deserve to share in its success." - Nikole Hannah-Jones
