#22The Economist’s Special Reports are amazing and worth the read!

#23California Sunday is my favorite.

#24Further left than the other recommendations but The Baffler has very high quality articles, though sometimes highly polemic. Also some of the content in Jacobin magazine, they have some great writers.

#25I'd recommend London Review of Books ( https://www.lrb.co.uk/ )
It is my favorite periodical of any kind. Great medium and long form articles on current events and social commentary, etc.
Also, long-running inside jokes and banter in the letters section which I enjoy.

#26I'd recommend subscribing to the New Yorker. You're supporting great writing and there's enough incredible pieces in the archives for a lifetime of reading. For example, John Hersey's piece "Hiroshima"[1] is perhaps one of the most consequential pieces of 20th century long-form journalism and also an engrossing read. It was later published as a short book. [1]: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1946/08/31/hiroshima?…
Although the London Review of Books is my favorite answer to this question, the New Yorker is a close second ...
I find it very readable on a kindle.
They are doing great journalism and I've been very impressed with their long form writing on topics such as the aftermath of the BP oil spill, the Ferguson shooting, etc.
I subscribe to the kindle version of the New Yorker (which includes the comics) and the print version of the LRB (which is a large format magazine).

#27The Economist
The Economist is required reading to understand current events the world over, but their specialty is very short form.

#29The New Yorker and NYRB have already been mentioned; they'd be my top two.
In terms of less mainstream sources, for thought-provoking long-form pieces mostly arising out of an economic justice perspective, I'd suggest Current Affairs.

And though it isn't a periodical, for long, smart pieces on sociology, history, economics, contemporary society, etc., I'd suggest Slate Star Codex.

Oh, and if you're interested in literature, which more broadly extends to culture throughout the decades, then the Paris Review has an incredible tradition of long-form interviews.

#30Longreads.org is a great aggregator for these. The Atlantic Vice The Economist Vox has a few really good ones Nautilus (for science) Vanity fair Caravan magazine is another (with a focus on Indian culture and arts) Edit: formatting and more titles as I remember them.
https://longform.org/ is a similar aggregator, just to sharing.
