I hope something is being done behind the scenes at the #NYTimes and other outlets. They need to work together on this. Every media company needs their own instance with accounts for their staff. They need to all put out editorials explaining the importance of social media and why it can't be run by corporations or government. They all need to agree and declare a date in the near future when they will only use decentralized social media and ask the public to join them.

I'm not surprised #X is trying to limit access to #NYTimes - the paper is notorious for anti-White House rhetoric. But I'm not sure why they would be doing it - it's not like they have anything to hide! #FreePress #FreeSpeech #TruthMatters http://www.techmeme.com/230910/p10#a230910p10

Why was I offline and away from my blog? I went to the #DirtRave. Yes, I was one of the 70,000+ people stuck in the mud at this year's #BurningMan, and when I emailed my editor at the #NYTimes to say I might be late on the op-ed I was working on, she asked me to write about what this year's mud crisis meant:

Today in Labor History September 9, 1919: Boston police walked off the job during the strike wave that was spreading across the country. The police had affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, prompting the police commissioner to suspend 19 of them for their organizing efforts, and prompting other cops to go on strike. Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge announced that none of the strikers would be rehired and he called in the state police to crush the strike. However, over half of them showed solidarity and refused to work. Coolidge then mustered the state militia and created an entirely new police force made up of unemployed World War I veterans, and Harvard students. The poorly trained “cops” killed 9 people during the strike. But all the blame was placed on the strikers. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson called their strike a crime against civilization. AFL President Samuel Gompers urged the cops, whom he represented, to return to work. The press attacked the striking cops as Bolsheviks. The NY Times wrote: “A policeman has no more right to belong to a union than a soldier or a sailor. He must be ready to obey orders, the orders of his superiors, not those of any outside body. One of his duties is the maintenance of order in the case of strike violence. In such a case, if he is faithful to his union, he may have to be unfaithful to the public, which pays him to protect it.” And ever since, the cops and their “unions” (professional association might be a more appropriate term) have overwhelmingly followed the NYT advice, rarely striking themselves (~25 in the U.S. over the past 100 years) and eagerly attacking other working class people who are on strike.

Had no idea that there were that many rhyming words for that particular spelling, I'm glad that tripped onto the right answer on my last attempt.

Every time I see an Atheltic article posted on the New York Times app, I don’t have the urge to upgrade my subscription to include it. No, I have the urge to cancel my subscription altogether in protest. I don’t want to see content I can’t read on an app I pay for. For fuck’s sake. Get it together, people. You bloated fucksticks.
