An usual tangent from TFA. NewScientist looks like worth subscribing for and I haven’t heard anything about it. Any opinions about it?

New Scientist used to be a pretty respectable popular science magazine - it was founded in the 1950s. It had a more technical slant than something like Popular Science, and was a bit more accessible and news-oriented than Scientific American.

Once the internet started eating magazines, like many other magazines, New Scientist turned into a clickbaity, ad-heavy rag.

It's possible it's improved recently, but many people wrote it off a long time ago, which is probably why you don't hear much about it.
