Curious your thoughts on this publication/website.

Good work?

Awful work?

It's ok overall. Elevated by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is probably the single best writer in America right now.

It's quite nice to have a consistent repository of articles, stories, and examinations not written either by some shitty AI or an eight-grader. More often than not, you'll find something to chew through.

Mostly good, but doesn't feel like it has a clear voice to it (given how I bitch about Gawker's clear voice, maybe this is good?). These days I just see it as a great big repository of good online writing, like Thought Catalog for grown-ups.
