What periodicals do you subscribe to? I use to subscribe to Tin House, back when that was still a thing. I miss looking forward to a new, physical thing I could read.
The Spectator, Apollo, The Princeton Tory, Country Life, Proceedings of the US Naval Institute, Hemming's, Porsche Panorama, Type 7, Barron's, and the journal of International Monarchist League.
>>24715247Tell me, how are the Navy’s proceedings?
>>24715249Shambolic. I was in San Diego recently at NASSCO and it was in a sorry state. The actual journal - Proceedings - is good though.
>>24715254Sorry to hear, I fear it shall be a dreadful thing in the Pacific once the conflagration begins. Cheerio!
NYT
None. I haven't subscribed to a magazine in at least 20 years. I assumed they had all died out by now. Are there actually good magazines in this year of our lord 2025?
>>24716064Harper’s, Atlantic, New Yorker, etc

>>24715238I'm the king of periodicals. I still subscribe to some. My pro tip is that you can find them readily available on Ebay and if you want to "try" one out then start by buying them there.One thing to keep in mind is that for that many of them their primary motivation is to sell you something. I think this explains why you often see more book reviews of "recently published." For some of the more academic/university issued this isn't always the case.But here are some thoughts :1. Three Penny Review : I had an issue with my subscription, and found the editor slightly off-putting. Also they do things like in the Spring 2022 where all the photographs are black people. Even as a liberal, I found this kind of forced and contrived. 2. Vanity Fair : I actually like this one - randomly interesting stuff, celebrity gossip, beautiful women in the ads. Check out March 2016 issue with the beautiful Jenifer Garner and a great article on a a prep school sex scandal.3. Cabinet Magazine : I really like this one. Beautiful photos, good articles. For example Issue 61 has an article of how the author has to pack his library and move. Another one is about the famous guests at the Savoy Hotel and their check in cards. Cool stuff like that.4. The Sun : by UNC I think. I like this one, rather small periodical but good articles. Check out the October 2022 issue for a good article on masturbation.5. Music & Literature : Defunct - but I liked it a lot. #3 had a wonderful article on Gerald Murnane's archive.6. N+1 : Can't go wrong with this one. I enjoyed the Winter 2017 issue with an essay about Trump's hotel empire from Joshua Cohen as well as being Azerbejani in Georgia (country).7. National Geographic : Not sure about more recent years..but you can find 80's,90s and early 00s at thrift stores. Wonderful articles and photographs.8. Harpers : I think they're pretty good.9. Vice : I really like this one. As a nerd, it's fun to see what the cool kids were doing back in the day.10. Nautilus : I have the issues that Cormac wrote articles for. Obviously focuses on the sceinces more, but still pretty interesting stuff.11. Baffler : Another one of my favorites. Good articles about crypto in Issue 64.12. Laphapms : This one is awesome - each issue focuses on a topic. The one on Ways of Learning was really good.13. Granta / Paris Review : Can be good - I generally try to find the old ones with articles from authors I like. Granta 172 (the latest) has Vollmann.14. London Review of Books : Usually has good reviews of books coming out (pseudo-ads)..but helps keep abreast of new stuff.There are a whole bunch of other ones (River Journal, Hudson Review, Kenyon etc...). These can be fun. Again, I'd start by buying a mixed lot from Ebay and see what speaks to you.
>>24716273These in order of recommendation?
>>24715238Good thread. I subscribe to Ploughshares, POETRY Magazine, and the NYer. I mostly keep up with online journals nowadays though>ZZYZZYVA>The Creative Writing Department>Joyland Magazine>American Short Fiction>Adroit>Kenyon Review>DIODE Poetryand a few others whenever I remember them. I miss Tin House so much.
>>24716730nta but Granta and N+1 are the two best magazines on that list; they publish high-tier, cutting-edge literature pretty consistently. Excellent excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Paris Review/LRB probably second best, LRB to keep up with the litworld zeitgeist (NYRB also works too) and Paris Review to keep up with the lit establishment (mostly good but sometimes they're just publishing names, although the Writers At Work interview series is worth its weight in fucking gold). Baffler's excellent, recommend. Vanity Fair's got very, very good longform pieces on various topics relating to culture/politics, you'd be surprised at how consistent they are. They're all good periodicals. I think Harper's is kinda boring though.
>>24716252No, I said good ones.
>>24716818Fuck off chud
>Not a single good magazine recommended Just accept it already, newspaper and magazines are dead and books will follow soon since we're heading towards a post-literate society
>>24717030>doesn't recommend a magazine
>>24715238At the moment, only First Things.
