The Conversation ( https://theconversation.com/ ) publishes news-style articles by working academics and graduate students, so the contributors typically have a technical background relevant to the subjects they are writing about (making the publication comparable to Quanta). Nautilus magazine also publishes excellent science journalism ( https://nautil.us ) with high-quality writing comparable to Quanta. In contrast…

Seconding the recommendation for Nautilus. I used to subscribe to their print edition for a while, and had loved it.

Nautilus' print quality is next to none!

Works in Progress: https://worksinprogress.co/

Most articles are focused on public policy but there is a good spread of topics. Strangely, it was acquired by Stripe last year.

A bit more tech and tech-impact focused, but I've enjoyed https://logicmag.io .

You may also like Emergence Magazine. It's significantly more humanities/culture oriented but similarity wide-ranging and imaginative. Come to think of it, I think imagination is one of the qualities that makes Quanta so magical. Ostensibly it's a magazine about the interactions of formal and natural sciences, but they're not afraid to include a bold dash of imagination.

Harper’s magazine is great for general interest (much less pretentious than the New Yorker). One of the oldest magazines in the country.

Noema has some good stuff, although check out their advisory board. So many high profile neoliberal ghouls that the first time I saw it I thought it was a joke. It introduced me to Byung-Chul Han, for which I am forever grateful. Hope they can keep it up since they were hiring for a senior editor for a while there recently…

Just wanted to say that your contributions to HN were missed the last few weeks.

Please, start a blog or something. I mean you don't have to...but, yeah. Thanks.
