The New Yorker is great https://www.newyorker.com. Amazing writing, so much so that I can be pulled into articles that I wouldn't expect to be interested in. I had a Kindle subscription, but liked it so much I forked out for a print subscription. I find it a real struggle reading long form articles digitally.

re. digital: the last time i read a newyorker article it consumed 900+ MB of my mobile data plan and i've been avoiding it like the plague ever since.

which is a shame because the writing is generally good as you note.

That's impressive!
equal parts impressive and irritating
The New Yorker certainly is entertaining to read, but their articles are notoriously slanted. Even non-controversial subjects are presented from a polarized standpoint. Its as if the whole purpose of the articles is to misinform the reader just enough to get into an argument with someone on the topic.
