Every year they don't ruin the New Yorker, I breathe a sigh of relief.

Granted, Si Newhouse bought it in 1985 - the only time the magazine's ownership changed! - and so maybe it enjoys a sort of grandfathered status at Conde Nast even with Newhouse dead?

I mean, I say that, but they recently ruined the previously-excellent iPad app, which has resulted in me going back to paper issues, but if that's the extent of the tomfoolery I'll take it.

I’m not so sure. I wouldn’t blame Condé Nast for this. But I’m sick of the New Yorker writers basically making shit up and pretending it’s true. Ragebaiting autofiction, but within the boundaries of acceptable Ivy League New York 23 year old discourse. Is that not ruined?
