Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

The New Left Review is quite good as well, I don’t have time for another sub with my current work schedule though. I guess if I quit posting I could manage all of my intended reading.

not really, monthly review is closer to an academic journal and viewpoint is monthly review with better graphic design

Academic is fine as long as it's possible to understand as a layperson and they're talking about things that actually matter

my boss has a subscription to the economist delivered to the office that i've never seen him read. i've read it a couple of times and its so loving bad. That 30 year old article criticising it is still spot on

then it should still be fine, because that's still the case.

the issue is that it's a magazine that's essentially nothing but a series of op-ed, it's not a news service

yeah a few years ago the writing was genuinely better though you would get things like "against chairs" and sam kriss writing about age of empires as clickbait

i havent read an Economist in a decade lol

Jacobin has the occasional interesting op-ed but is overall just not very useful, as noted there's no news or journalism

I don't know of any consistently good sites, but I also haven't looked in a while
