Ask HN: What physical publication do you still buy?

I remember as a kid loving to read National Geographic and Club Nintendo in Bolivia.

I want to subscribe to a PHYSICAL publication, to get news or entertainment it's fine. But something physical.

I want to slow it down and have it be my little morning ritual. Like my dad used to read the newspaper.

The economist. I like that it’s the right volume that can finish it in time for the next one.

  And weekly is the right cadence for seeing the bigger picture for news too.

I subscribe to Wired, American Chess, and Architectural Digest. I had a sub to Raspberry Pi Magazine, but now I just read the free PDF version.

Buying boxes of NatGeo mags at estate/yard sales is not a bad answer. Lot's of folks want to get rid of them, and they are still in every way amazing.

It's absolutely not a 2nd Amendment apologist rag.

Make Magazine.
I’d be interested in other good physical periodicals.

Until it went out of print, The Modern Farmer. It was directed to the homesteading lifestylist wishful thinkers. It was quarterly. The quality was astounding. Each magazine like a book of shorts with exquisite photography. Perhaps it will return. Signs of the time.

Publications received go into the book stack to read, Tsundoku style.
