Reasons to be fearful

[kernelbogey]

So do I. As part of my German degree I spent the year 69-70 in West Germany. I got to know a student on a study visit from the US. Dreading being drafted to Vietnam he was seriously considering not going home. Sweden was an option, I remember, or maybe West Berlin. I don't know what happened to him.

Many slipped quietly out of the US across the border into Canada. Rich guys - you know of one for sure - wangled medical exemptions. A disproportionate number of casualties of the war were poor young Black men.

Couldn't help noticing the absence of Lesbian/Lesbianism from that extraordinary list. Perhaps because, "Hey dude, didn't one of your queens believe it to be impossible?"

I think I have a £2/month sub.

So did I - went up to £12 last week. It was promotional - maybe a year. Buggers reeled me in with Wordle.
It's a decent newspaper though.

Try Quordle or Octordle here instead (though I don't need a subscription for Wordle):

Just checked and yes it was 2 euros a month for a year, then 12.
That's still the case for new subscribers, and imo 24 euros a year is a bargain. 144 a year, not so much.

Thanks, and I think it was the streak tracking and stats I wanted. I'm also hooked on the Connections game. And the history quiz.
Might just re-sub with a different email.

Ah, I can understand that aspect.

Just cancelled. I think the increase to £12 was flagged right from the start.

I access Wordle without subscribing but don't do any other NYT puzzles. You might like to try Byrdle if you have an interest in choral/church music. No subscription or sign in but you lose your streak if you forget to do it one day.

Cancel - wait a few months - and then rejoin when there's an offer. The NYT has perhaps the best stuff, but the Washington Post and the Boston Globe often cover the same stuff- and also have offers, again with the cancel anytime deals. Best to make sure you do cancel as the year long deals run out.

I don't have to think about them, do I?

No, you don't have to, but I was just thinking about the political chaos being caused by a trio of incompetent amateurs.

Understood! It's ironic, in a way, that a TV comedian-turned-statesman is trying to 'deal' with a TV show-host-turned-dangerous-clown.
