Ask HN: What physical publication do you still buy?
I remember as a kid loving to read National Geographic and Club Nintendo in Bolivia. I want to subscribe to a PHYSICAL publication, to get news or entertainment it's fine. But something physical. I want to slow it down and have it be my little morning ritual. Like my dad used to read the newspaper.

I subscribe to The Guardian Weekly [1]. I read it at the weekend. I'm a long-time Guardian reader, but I'm trying to reduce my exposure to constantly-updating, anxiety-inducing news. I only recently subscribed but it seems to be having a positive effect. The subscription also includes access to their food and drink app, which I enjoy, and an app that gives me a static, digital version of that day's newspaper.

Lapham’s Quarterly (though the print version has been on hiatus — and we’re told it will eventually start back up as the publication finishes its resurrection). Looking forward to my print copy of the “Energy” issue.
The New Atlantis, The New Criterion, The Hedgehog Review, and Garden & Gun. And then Stack magazine, and independent magazine subscription. They pick a different one from somewhere around the world and send it to you.
The economist. I like that it’s the right volume that can finish it in time for the next one.
Buying boxes of NatGeo mags at estate/yard sales is not a bad answer. Lot's of folks want to get rid of them, and they are still in every way amazing.
