There are so many excellent independent news outlets. People have made a bunch of starter packs and are consistently uplifting examples on here. People don't have to rely on the New York Times unless they want to do that.

The 80 Best Bob Dylan Covers In honor of a birthday milestone, Variety picks the 80 best Bob Dylan covers, from the Byrds, Joan Baez and Jimi Hendrix to Nick Cave and Ministry.

"Here are 80 tracks dating from 1963 to just last month, from musicians with the beautiful presumption to know what was in Dylan’s always mysterious, always revelatory heart when they interpreted these tunes… or that it didn’t matter if they could make them even prettier."

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.
