A sigh inducing passage from Josh Levin: A large part of Michael Jordan’s legend stems from the fact that he won six titles with Scottie Pippen and a bunch of role players. Magic Johnson, by contrast, is probably underrated because he won all of his titles with loaded Lakers teams. Anyone who watched basketball in […]

But you know, credit where it’s due. I can see why we call you one of the good ones, Reihan: Yet over the subsequent seasons, culminating in the brilliant TV movie Is It College Yet?, Daria became something different. Rather than worship its all-knowing alternateen protagonists, the series humbled them, persuading them to let their guard down, […]

Posted by Laura Crawford: How can Slate survive in the ultra-competitive blogosphere (kill me)? Slate has been sliding steadily in quality of articles and sources.

Bad start for new Slate editor David Plotz. In the hurry to nail Tom Cruise on his shitty new movie where everyone somehow has either a British or American accent whilst being German, Slate kinda didn’t do any fact checking. AP gotcha!

What’s almost as dumb as invoking the assassination of a Civil Rights leader when you’re losing to a candidate that happens to be black?
