#112"Delayed Gratification" is all of that for me - they 'revisit the events of the last three months to offer in-depth, independent journalism in an increasingly frantic world.'

Love all these recommendations btw! There is something about the combination of good writing, photos and layout that makes a magazine satisfying.

#113Monocle. Great pics and interesting articles. Also the New Yorker because practically they're the kings of long form articles.

Yeah, this is one I would definitely subscribe to if only I had a convenient way to get access to some issues without subscribing first. Alas, the only reseller in my area is no longer keeping them in stock.

#115Mine are IEEE's "Computer" and "Software". Their "Annals of the History of Computing" is also a great read. Horrendously expensive, unfortunately. IEEE also has the IBM journals behind a paywall. I real shame. ACM's "Communications of the ACM" is also very good.
IEEE Spectrum is their main flagship publication across all interest areas and is one of the best mags still in print. Also whatever happened to Byte - that was a good read way back when. [1] https://spectrum.ieee.org/
Spectrum is so thin however...

#116I'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…
Weekly news is such a great cadence and I love the audio recording they publish with each issue.

#117Lapham's Quarterly - each issue (4x a year) looks at a different topic with a focus on history and showing various perspectives across times and cultures. each issue has writing from the ancients through this year. Cabinet - I used to subscribe to this one but my subscription lapsed. it is kind of a hipster magazine and some of the stuff in there is obtuse garbage but every once in a while they hit it. this is a good…
well now I feel dumb for pointing out that a journal with the term quarterly in the title is published 4x a year lol - here's the link https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/
another thing to add - if you want back issues of magazines you can usually get them pretty cheap at https://www.abebooks.com

#118I like Research*EU.
It's free, made by the EU and every month I find some really good articles that worth reading.
I'll leave a link to this month's issue in case you're interested.

Heh... Whatever. It's gratifying to see Lapham's Quarterly at the top of the thread. Cheers!

#120Earlier quoted context omitted.
The obituaries in the Economist (at the back) are often poignant and insightful, and sometimes cover individuals who deserve to be better known. I remember a joint obit in 2008 of Jack Scott (weather forecaster) and Reg Varney (who starred in British sitcom On The Buses). Not an expected pairing. https://www.economist.com/obituary/2008/12/04/jack-scott-and...
reg varney - the first person to publicly use a cash machine
And the first cash machine used cheques with radioactive Carbon 14 rather than plastic cards!
