> Low-tech Magazine questions the blind belief in technological progress, and talks about the potential of past and often forgotten knowledge and technologies when it comes to designing a sustainable society. Interesting possibilities arise when you combine old technology with new knowledge and new materials, or when you apply old concepts and traditional knowledge to modern technology.

#24Monocle, great mix of art, lifestyle, politics, food, architecture and style

#25Circuit Cellar [1], if you're into electronics. Good mix of industry coverage, recent trends, and experiential projects. It's like a more sophisticated version of Elektor.
Maximum PC [2], for the PC enthusiasts out there.

#26I've been reading the Economist for about 10 years. It provides great coverage on big issues, and recently, some fun ones (billie eilish comes to mind). It's unique in that it feels "slower", more deliberate, and thoughtful than most newspaper/tv channels. It gives context and covers multiple viewpoints before giving an opinion. Its daily espresso newsletter and quarterly tech issues are always interesting too. I've…
Thank you! I used to read the Economist a few years ago but had to stop for various life technical reasons. The latest one is that my infant tries to tear anything made of paper apart -- but your comment made me look up whether there's a Kindle edition of the Economist and there is! Maybe not on par with the print one for me, but certainly better than nothing!

#27The Economist and Real Simple. Great recipes in the latter.

#28Current Affairs strikes me in some ways as the anti-Economist. Brilliant and even if you disagree with their politics their critique of the current state of capitalism is well-researched, well-argued and insightful.
Jacobin is the house publication of the resurgent socialist labor movement. Given the generational sea change in attitudes toward socialism, the resurgence of fascism, and economic conditions we haven’t seen since the Gilded Age (1/4 of the US population unemployed or earning starvation wages) it seems wise to keep an eye on what may become future policy.
The Believer is a simply amazing literary and culture magazine nurtured by Dave Eggers / McSweeneys. Amazing interviews, off-kilter features and some of the best illustrators / graphic novelists of the past 20 years.

#29Stripe has a software magazine called increment that’s pretty cool.
I’ve also liked a lot of writing in the Atlantic.
Recently I subscribed to some Substacks: Persuasion, The Weekly Dish, The Diff which are usually interesting.

#30Sorry in advance for the negativity. I'd love to rediscover the joy of reading quality periodicals so I'll read other comments here and try anything that looks good.
As for my experiences lately...
I subscribed to The Atlantic after reading it online.
The print edition is disappointing for the quality of its typography and illustrations. The layout subediting should contribute a lot more to the experience. Instead, I feel like I'm wading aimlessly through a swamp without landmarks.
I like the online typography and layout of NYT and WSJ, and I subscribed to both for the quality of their newsrooms and the depth of their resources.
I lament the polarisation of journalistic publications into left and right. This is particularly jarring in the comments sections of NYT and WSJ. The partisan tropes are unedifying, repetitious and dull. I'm happier not reading them.
For hardcopy, I'm reading books.
