The Atlantic is Smart
Today I learned (via Kottke) that The Atlantic has dropped its paywall. All of its goodness is now available for us to frolic amongst, squish between our toes, or spread on toast.
Hurray for doing something intelligent.
I have a copy of their 150th anniversary issue and thought it was extremely cool. I spent a lot of time with the short essays and illustrations in the “The Future of the American Idea” feature.
I’m charmed that the editor uses the word “trenchancy” in his announcement. Reminds me of the Geico commercial with James Lipton that always makes me giggle. “I’ve heard they are also quite beneficent and magnanimous.”
Last night I regretfully decided I would not re-subscribe to New York magazine and The New Yorker. I like both of them so much but have too much else to read and can’t keep up. It breaks my heart, print publishing having such a hard time and now I’m part of the problem.
But you! you should subscribe to all of these magazines.
