NYT Games and Cooking are BEHIND THE PICKET LINE. Please don’t play or engage with Games or Cooking content while the strike lasts!
News coverage — including election coverage — is NOT behind the picket line. It’s okay to read and share that, though the site and app may very well have problems.
Believe it or not, that is a seriously hard ask for a lot of people, especially the part about the games.
They should do it anyway, but I bet a lot won’t. Like my uncle used to do the NYT crossword every day in pen. Because he’s super smart and says it’s cheating if you use a pencil. I never talk to him, but he’s probably doing it online these days. Either way, I could picture him in the corner, twitching and going through NYT crossword withdrawal.
As a fellow NYT-crossword-every-day guy, there’s very little chance he’s doing it on the computer. It’s not the same. It’s like a decades-long pack-a-day smoker switching to vape pens.
They’re asking that people stay off NYT games and cooking-related pages:

That makes sense.
But, I’ll lose my streak!
Calm down. It’s not Duolingo. Your family is safe.
