Great thread idea, looking forward to it. I have so many opinions.

N+1 published the essay MFA vs NYC which is huge if you follow writing circles. I can't find it out from a paywall though

The New Yorker is known for publishing whatever neurotic NYC white male lit darling #1 shits out that week, which leads us to things like this hot garbage by Jonathan Franzen about how he is super sad after his successful book tour and misses his BEST FRIEND DFW

The Atlantic alternates between super amazing and astoundingly tone deaf. The amazing stuff is for example Ta Nehisi Coates' "The Case for Reparations"

Vox doesn't really count here but I'd like to say that it can suck a dick.
