Lapham's Quarterly - each issue (4x a year) looks at a different topic with a focus on history and showing various perspectives across times and cultures. each issue has writing from the ancients through this year.

Cabinet - I used to subscribe to this one but my subscription lapsed. it is kind of a hipster magazine and some of the stuff in there is obtuse garbage but every once in a while they hit it. this is a good example - http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/52/hodes.php

Harper's is usually pretty good though I've never subscribed.

If you live in a big city there are usually a couple really high quality newstands that carry 100s or 1000s of magazines - I love browsing those. recently I came away from one with an issue of Fantasic man, Reason mag, and Harpers. always worth a trip.

Another good place to view magazines is art school libraries. they usually have some more wacky ones like adbusters or BITCH and some of them are true visual feasts. of course they are more liberal so you won't find stuff like the american conservative or anything murdoch owned but every once in a while you will come across something really amazing.

Just finished the piece on pallets. What a fantastic story, a slice of the world i’d never considered.

Just subscribed to Lapham's. I've read a few pieces from them over the years, but somehow this description clinched actual subscription.

Well that's yet another rabbit hole that residents of hacker news have tossed me down. The article about pallets was very cool and rekindled my interest in building things out of the wood from closed pallets.

well now I feel dumb for pointing out that a journal with the term quarterly in the title is published 4x a year lol - here's the link https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/

another thing to add - if you want back issues of magazines you can usually get them pretty cheap at https://www.abebooks.com

Heh... Whatever. It's gratifying to see Lapham's Quarterly at the top of the thread. Cheers!
