 ooooh it came it came! I've taken a Luddite stand on the new periodicals I've subbed to, refusing to read them online and reserving print copies for Before Bed winding down. Will report back once I've had I dunno 5 evenings to digest this, the 13th issue of The Point.

Reporting: I was immediately hooked and may be biased because the first two essays were about A) Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum where I spent a large potion of my childhood summers and B) North Carolina where I went to school and my parents now live. My family has roots in Chicago as well so pretty neat to get some local content, all around felt very personally connected and super pleased that I decided to subscribe. The theme fit the format, it presented a pretty good blend of cultural and political content, a bit light on analysis and critique (I'm a scientist and fascinated by hard theory and examination) but deep enough and actually a bit more literary/poetic than I was expecting. you can tell that The Point is still a young endeavor, as the contributor list and content still reads a little bit like flexing the staff's personal connections rather than soliciting submissions and curating them, but outside of one particularly navelgazey piece and an interview that floated off into disconnected scholarly minutiae, all the articles were enjoyable. Worth it, 8/10 happy I dug in on your recommendation GalacticAcid.
