Wow these three sites have been ILX’s collective punching bag. This thread is just seven years worth of bitching. Why is it every time a site gets redesigned everyone hates it?

The Atlantic is cutting 68 staffers - 17% of the total. Imagine having a staff of 400 and not being able to produce anything better than The Atlantic.

Basically, the center-right is terrified of the far-left and the center-left is terrified of the far right, and that is causing both to be less willing to criticize the fringe that is closest to them, which many earnestly see as obviously the lesser threat.— Conor Friedersdorf (@conor64) September 6, 2020

Maybe! I certainly worry about far right terrorists more. But I don't trust my ability to know who is the bigger threat and assiduously oppose both— Conor Friedersdorf (@conor64) September 6, 2020

Saying nothing at all is an option that is permanently available to you, and that I urge you to more frequently consider. The same goes for tagging me into your thoughts.— Ed Yong (@edyong209) February 24, 2022

The Atlantic has run the "you just can't say ANYTHING these days" essay again. This time, it's credited to Sarah Hepola. What's infuriating about this essay, no matter whose byline it carries this week, is that it pretends there are "forbidden" opinions that cry out to be debated, but...never tells you what they are. Because they're "forbidden," you see. I would love it if just one of these pieces offered a list of the topics you "can't write about." But they never do. "I’d grown terrified of being banished for views I considered reasonable, or at least worth discussing" — LIKE WHAT? COME ON, GIVE US JUST ONE. I DARE YOU. She gets SO close, too: "suddenly we were living in a time when so much that was once considered fair game for discussion (education, biological differences, the benefits of policing) had become dangerous." Love that second one, tucked carefully into that parenthetical... I'm sure someone at the Atlantic would be happy to give Hepola Charles Murray's email address; they could talk "biological differences" all day long and into the night. Oh, but she wouldn't be able to "discuss" it with readers of the Atlantic! The loss to our culture is incalculable, truly.

Why do artists and designers keep doing this? And why don't editors tell them, "I see what you did there, ha ha. Now put together the real version by deadline."

This article is completely insane. It's like something out of National Review. I half expect the author to be on Tucker Carlson by the end of the week.
