Right now, I only have subscriptions to the NYTimes (US) and FT (international). But mostly I find out interesting stuff from https://marginalrevolution.com/ (which usually have links to FT, Bloomberg, WP, WSJ, etc.)

I was once a New Yorker subscriber, but I no longer have patience for long form writing.

I also once had subscriptions to the Montreal Gazette and Globe and Mail, which were pretty good for local and domestic news respectively (but only if you're Canadian). I also once subscribed to the Walrus when Jonathan Kay was editor, but it was too boring (it's Canadian, I'm Canadian, but I don't relate to anything they write about -- but I think they've gotten more interesting since).

The Economist -- I'm torn. A lot of the writing sounds smart, but many of the articles are written by young Oxbridge PPE grads who can turn a phrase but don't have a lot of real world experience. The Economist seems to be read by people who want to seem smart, who want to hold an elite-certified opinion, but don't seem to want to to do the work to actually go deep on topics and would rather outsource their opinion formation to the Economist.

I also once had a subscription to Foreign Affairs. Excellent long-form articles that I no longer have any patience for. You do get the occasional long form article that is so relevant and engaging that you're forced to read it to the end, but these are few and far between.

I've gone back to reading books.

I did find the economist sounding more rational when they were analyzing all the crazy news of the last few months.

Like for example when Trump was talking about Greenland, most of the news was talking about how ridiculous or belligerent or imperialistic it was.

But my question was “why is ANYONE, including Trump, even talking about Greenland? It seems totally random” and they had an interesting explanation about Greenland’s strategic value and why there’s even an argument about it.
