Green Gloves:

Figures that all this white space would be the fault of the affluent. I liked the text-heavy version of the old design, which, in this "clean window display" analogy, would sort of be like TJ Maxx in the aftermath of Black Friday.

That's a plausible enough sounding Slate pitch that I'll admit I went to Slate to see if it was real. But then I got lost in Slate's redesign so I couldn't learn anything except that its redesign sucks.

Joust, the Movie. (Michael Bay directing.)

"Coos." "Pleasant-sounding." "Innocuous." Lewis reviewed Middle Cyclone and basically dismissed it as "pretty." These are words that no one who's ever heard Case sing would use to describe her style (even those who aren't fans). Perhaps not coincidentally, these are probably words that would make Case bristle the…

Agreed.
Usually when I read a review I don't agree with, I'll chalk it up to

I don't understand how he can compartmentalize his brain to such an extent that he can't see how his beliefs are in direct contradiction to his actions. That level of cognitive dissonance is frightening and explains a lot. (Stuff like, "Get the government out of my Medicare!").
