Oh, head's up for tomorrow:
Washington Post workers are on 24-hour strike December 7, so try not to engage with the site. No podcasts, no media.
Will this strike improve quality of output from the sometimes *very* infuriating WaPo? Well, maybe - more empowered workers can push back better on top-down editorial decisions - but more importantly, the strike also covers drivers & those in production tech, & helps cultivate a stronger culture for workers' rights all around.

Sounds like the things you use never need a boycott! That's pretty nifty. :)
@MLClark
I do mostly try to deal with entities I trust and admire.
@MLClark Bezos still own that? Wish them luck.
Yep. AND he's become a more active hand in its operations this year. Be nice to these employees if you see them in any food bank lines next year, I suppose?

@MLClark
Sometimes I wish we'd all boycott something I actually use.
I always feel kind of left out :)
