It's been ages since I've sat down and read a magazine. But there are times when I don't have the motivation to read a book and I just want a quick, well-written article to enjoy.

To give an example of the sort of content, someone shared this interesting article on Lemmy the other day about the ways in which far right tech CEOs mimic AIs being trained on their own data. It was a really fascinating idea!

I'm not too fussy about the content - science, technology, gaming, nature, opinion pieces, politics (but not too heavy).

For the longest time I used to get the National Geographic, which always had good content. But I feel a bit burnt out with those. Something along these lines on another topic would be perfect.

Can anyone recommend any particular magazines?

Might fall foul of your 'not too heavy' politics requirement but I love my Private Eye subscription.

It's one of two magazines I still buy; the other being Viz comic, the other end of the spectrum.

I used to enjoy Fortean Times too; not sure whether the quality of the articles declined, or if my tastes got more refined. Probably a bit of both
