Really like the idea of getting something in the mail to read. Which ones are still good?

occasionally i get the new yorker for free from my workplace and i agree, it's not bad. i think about every other issue has an article that i find to be very interesting, and usually has a couple duds, and sometimes something i find grotesque. i don't think i'd pay for it though.

the only magazines i might consider paying for are "the paris review" (the poetry is terrible, but i think they actually publish good prose), and n+1, which is a left wing long form publisher.

/lit/ had a good thread recently on literary magazines. Granta got the strongest recommendation, but a lot of stories connected to other magazines were posted:

Granta, Joyland, and the Stinging Fly seemed like the strongest magazines mentioned in that thread.
Lego catalog, Lidl flyers
The Economist. Insufferable but competent.

Features much less libshittery than I thought it would. Also makes me feel much smarter than I have any right to.

I had the LRB for a bit. It's good but it's quite hard to find the time to read it all. The pieces are long and demand your attention.
WIRED is actually pretty underrated in my opinion. the tone of the articles is often much more skeptical than you'd expect, in a good way (they had a really hilarious Alex Karp interview recently). and it's also pretty fun to flip through visually.
