It’s been ages since I’ve sat down and read a magazine. But there are times when I don’t have the motivation to read a book and I just want a quick, well-written article to enjoy.

To give an example of the sort of content, someone shared this interesting article on Lemmy the other day about the ways in which far right tech CEOs mimic AIs being trained on their own data. It was a really fascinating idea!

I’m not too fussy about the content - science, technology, gaming, nature, opinion pieces, politics (but not too heavy).

For the longest time I used to get the National Geographic, which always had good content. But I feel a bit burnt out with those. Something along these lines on another topic would be perfect.

Can anyone recommend any particular magazines?

    The Guardian does a weekly magazine of their long form articles. I’ve impulse bought it a few times when going on long journeys and it’s very good.

    I’ve considered subscribing but it’s £18 per month (discounted from £27 for the 1st year) and that’s a lot for me.

      Oh neat, that’s one I’ve never really considered but it sounds ideal!

        The subscription lets you use the App ad free and some other bits like their food guide, and most of the time it’s real journalism without the usual right wing bias… which apparently makes it left wing… but to me it’s just center/apolitical.
