Just a couple of headlines I grabbed from their home page just now: "Our favorite cannabis vaporizer is $90 off for Cyber Monday" "2024 BMW G 310 R review: A starter bike you won’t outgrow" "You can still get the best Apple products at the best prices … if you act fast" "20+ luxury items that are less pricey for Cyber Monday" "This is your last chance to save $100 on an Xbox Series X during Cyber Monday" I really just think there is no consumer market left that would support well written, long-form science journalism. So the choice is either to close up shop, or act as a front for retail outlets.

Scientific American is still in print. I guess I don’t know for how long, but I love it.

  SA has been on the decline for decades. It was fluff in the 2000s, its now somehow less than fluff.

This is quite sad. I’m wondering if I should blame mobile phones for all of this…

Quanta magazine does a really, really good job with long form science journalism. Highly recommend checking them out.

New Scientist is still doing pretty well.
