re: #297 jaunte

For a long time, I’ve been able to justify keeping an Atlantic subscription based on a few articles each issue that are still decent reading (and memories of when it was a much better magazine), but it’s not long for my patronage if it becomes a monthly connection of shitty hot takes. It’s not like I don’t have plenty of other interesting magazines to read that have stayed saner (Harper’s, New York, New Yorker… I used to include Vanity Fair in that list but it’s getting iffy under its new editorship. Easy to forget how one much influence one person, in this case the recently departed VF editor Graydon Carter, can still exert over a magazine. It got very generic very suddenly when he left.)
