TIL that New York Times has occasionally experienced gaps in publication due to multiple strikes in its history. One such strike occurred in 1978. Various papers formed to fill the gap including the satirical Not The New York Times.

You could buy Not The New York Times at the newsstand on the way to work. Me, who had never bought the real Times ever, bought the Not Times almost every day.

Imagine the minds behind Wordle striking now, the carnage that would ensue

I prefer Mulldog’s New York Ass Times

I was at Queens college during one of them. One of the school papers changed it’s masthead to read “All the News That Fits, We Print”
