So gross. Really wish @wired.com was better than this -- but no, they sent me a glowing email this morning about all the deals. Maybe tomorrow they'll send out some indie recommendations? Doubtful.
twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
