Stumbling across Ta-Nehisi Coates' blog on the Atlantic (I think the first post of his I read was about him making a character in SW:TOR, come to think of it) was my first step on the road to understanding the huge racial disparity in equity and justice in America. I even subscribed to the magazine on my Kindle for a while, but when they put up their paywall my digital subscription didn't count, they'd shut off their comments ages ago (taking with them a lot of nasty for sure, but also squelching the communities that had sprung up around TNC and a few other writers like Alexis Madrigal), and the normal churn of writers meant that most of the folks who I like to read had moved on anyway, so I did too.

Once in a while I see an article I'd like to peruse from them, but it's just not worth the cost of admission anymore.
