If I don't consciously choose, my time will be sucked dry by vampiric nonsense clickbait. Books are great, essential. But periodicals and opinions offer a more current and diverse conversation for the insatiably curious. I regularly read the below list using a mix of LibbyApp (with a library card), AllTop, throttlehq, SubStack, print subscriptions, Apps and web shortcuts.<p>Some are an investment, but you are what you read; it changes our worldview, daily conversations and mindset.
What diverse readings could you share?<p><i>My regular reading</i><p>Philosophy Now https://philosophynow.org<p>New Scientist https://www.newscientist.com<p>The Week https://theweek.com/uk<p>LRB https://www.lrb.co.uk<p>2000AD: https://2000ad.com<p>MIT Technology Review https://www.technologyreview.com<p>New Left Review https://newleftreview.org<p>Trebuchet https://www.trebuchet-magazine.com<p>WIRED https://www.wired.com<p>Harvard Business Review https://hbr.org<p>Money Week https://moneyweek.com<p>Pluralistic https://pluralistic.net<p>The Digger Magazine https://www.the-digger.com (My guilty pleasure)<p>The New Criterion https://newcriterion.com<p>Land of random https://thelandofrandom.substack.com/
I've subscribed to physical periodicals in a similar effort, but they often end up unread by the end of the week. The problem for me, clearly, is the needed behavioral modification, and not the incentive to prioritize the material that I pay money for. This just adds guilt for wasting money and backsliding (I know, a bit melodramatic). So often I still idly scroll reddit or something, and hate myself once I realize what I'm doing.<p>Anyway, interesting list. Thanks for the reminder to make this effort again.
