I thought this game of waffle was fairly easy to figure out but hard to move letters around/no direct swaps.

(again) I wish there were instructions for this game.

Ahem.

We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

Why are people boycotting nytimes?

Why are people boycotting nytimes?

The Times Guild, the union for NYT employees, is doing a 24-hour walkout / work stoppage on Thursday, December 8 due to stalled contractual negotiations with management. They're asking readers not to engage with the Times' content on Thursday (tomorrow, which begins in about three hours in New York).

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Frelga! Easy enough to skip tomorrow's Wordle.

A planned Unwordle day! Gasp.

[Jude]

No wordle for me either. I'll just fantasize about posting a set of six rows with gradually increasing amounts of green squares, ending in an all-green sixth row.

*contented sigh*

[Inanna]

Eeks. I didn’t see that post above! Dammit. Well I’ll at least skip mini, letter boxed & not read on the app

[Jude]

But you can play Waffle!

I wonder when there is going to be a boycott of Twitter. That seems to be a more dangerous threat to the world at large, actively being used as a recruitment/indoctrination tool for extremism, violence, and hate.

Are there rules for animale advent? Is it supposed to rhyme? There is something about that I just don't get.

[Frelga]

Rose, the NYT boycott is in support of an ongoing strike, so it's less of "I won't ever deal with this company" and more of "I won't cross the picket line." There is no labor action going on at Twitter now that the public can support. Although I know many people are looking for an alternative platform, and if one of them reaches a critical mass, I will follow.

[RoseMorninStar]

Well, there's no labor action because I don't think they are union and a great deal of their employees have been fired/let go. It's in turmoil. Sometimes boycotts begin not just with a particular company, but with those who support it (via ads, for example). I am not on Twitter so I don't know how it works with ads (I have ads blocked via my browser). I saw an article yesterday which stated that Amazon and other large companies had ads on their Twitter page which were from a Nazi group. If these companies accept this as part of advertising on Twitter, this will become commonplace. Apple is back to advertising on Twitter.

Amazon, Uber ads appear on Twitter pages of white nationalists restored by Musk (I will also post this in the Elon/Twitter thread)

In another thread, Escaping the Echo Chamber, we are discussing political correctness gone too far. While I can see instances of that I find this far, far more dangerous.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

A boycott and not wanting to cross a picket line are two completely different things.

A boycott and not wanting to cross a picket line are two completely different things.

I understand this.

Back on the wordle train. Interesting that they reset our streaks to 1.
