Pink slip edition, employees replaced with those who identified as employed, who knew fat chicks with dicks don't sell mags and more woke Sports Illustrated memes as go woke go broke strikes again!
It's stunning to consider all the newspapers and magazines we grew up reading and what they look like today. "Journalism" has been "Dead Man Walking" for a while now.
Have you read National Geographics from the early 1900s (very academic and not so east to read), then between the wars and into the 1950-60s-70s etc (getting much easier to read but still high-quality writing) versus now??? You can SUM up just how dumbed down we have become (+ the mags have gotten thinner and full of pharma ads) and I am not even talking about the woke garbage and climate-gender etc pseudoscience in them!
No, I gave up on that magazine a long time ago, but your point is excellent. My mother-in-law subscribes to the Smithsonian Institute magazine and I recently spent some time reading two recent editions - all "woke" content and full of the same Big Pharma ads.
