Former TIME colleague Ta-Nehisi Coates has started blogging at The Atlantic this week, replacing the departed Matt Yglesias. There’s no real TV connection here; I just like his writing and always appreciated him for being the one person at Time with a name (arguably) as hard to spell as mine. And now that he no longer works with me, I can link to him without shameless intra-company shilling.
Oh, he also wrote a great profile of Bill Cosby, so there’s your TV connection.
