Here's a good example Silly NYT, you're not supposed to burn the stuff we told you was bad, you're supposed to give more diverse voices their cut No points for guessing who those more diverse voices are (they're currently 60k in debt and working a dead-end job in a bookstore)pic.twitter.com/pEWEZOyrzv
