Curious.  Ever since Teh Brain told me The Atlantic made him dry heave uncontrollably for a week solid I have stopped trying to flog it.

I read a couple of articles every now and then. I used to read Ta-Nehisi Coates and Jeffrey Goldberg religiously, but the latter's gone to Bloomberg (with Clive Crook) so I read the Atlantic site a lot less now.

I read it regularly, but specifically not Ta-Nehisi Coates or Conor Friedersdorf. Coates is a race baiting imbecile and Friedersdorf wrote about 89 articles in a row about the "evils of drone warfare" and got on my black list.

Other than that I read about every article they put out. Most of their stable of writers are very good. I tend to gloss over their tech writing a bit because as with most non-technical sources they do a mediocre job of reporting on the subject.

I do, I really like them. Thanks Yi!

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I like the recent Žižek-ian analysis of the McRib.  :)

Maybe he meant the ocean.

Sometimes I read Christopher Orr's film reviews.  He's ok, I guess.

theatlantic.com is a daily visit from me.

I've bought the mag itself a few times.

Yi's flogging worked on me.

I have them in my Facebook feed (together with other news sources), and check them once a day or every other day for news stories.

I don't buy the print edition, though. But I bought their special edition about the Civil War.
