Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’d be curious to know why, since “sucks” didn’t give me quite enough context, oddly enough.

I could type a mess of puffery and lavish language or a ton of nuanced arguments and maybe that -- if you're an Atlantic devotee -- might persuade you.

But I think the easiest way to get you to understand my opinion is to encourage you to read it -- particularly their opinion pieces -- and see for yourself.

(Subscribe via RSS because they likely aren't tracking that and don't seem to have a clue that you can use that to get most of their articles ad-free without paying.)

Fair enough. I’ve read their articles over the years here and there whenever I happen to come across them, though I don’t recall ever looking at their opinion pieces. Great tip about the RSS backdoor!
