The Economist. They’re big on free markets and open democracy. So they’re pretty much smack dab in the middle for political bias (i consider then ‘soft’ neoliberalism. Still neoliberalism but at least they still respect that there is a human price that needs to be considered). They’re recognised for reliable, factual reporting and analysis (as long as you keep in mind their analysis is coached per their belief in free markets/open democracies as the superior model). But in terms of factuality and having journalists on the ground actually interviewing primary sources, they’re great. https://adfontesmedia.com/the-economist-bias-and-reliability/

They’re big on free markets and open democracy.
They’re not big on either of those things. They’re big on bourgeois interests, which are economic & political oligarchy and imperialism. Lenin called it, "a journal which speaks for British millionaires," and now it speaks for the Global North’s billionaires.
I try to point people toward developing real media literacy.
Brooklyn Rail, mainly an arts magazine but they have a great politics section, Field Notes, from which books like Hinterland by Phil A. Neel have been published.
Current Affairs - Useful for keeping up with Doctor Who and his amazing adventures.
New Yorker. Scientific American.

Playboy in the 90's actually did have good articles.
What would the articles be about? I think there’s some options to see previous issues in there, not sure if it goes back that far though.

First one I could find that didn't give me a 404 error.
Pretty much every category you said you like articles from! If I get some downtime at work I'll see if I can send you an example or 2.
Man there was nothing better than finding an abandoned skin magazine in the ‘90’s.
Especially when all the pages weren’t stuck together.
I was telling my kid about woods porn. Which we found a lot as kids. Peoples stash in a bag somewhere in the woods. They seemed to be everywhere. God I'm old...
Back in 2003, me and my friend took a break from band practice.
He said he had a porn collection so off we went through the woods behind his house. After a while we get to this one tree and there’s a shovel behind it.
We go back to his house, on the other side is a river. He starts digging in the river back until he pulls out a buried plastic bag. And he just looks horrified when he looks in.
All the magazines are rotten and broken apart by water.
I don’t know what he was expecting to happen. Or why he hid the shovel in the woods. The whole time I was so confused.
We grew up in a very Catholic place that was very poor.I think ours were form men hiding it from families. They didn't have shops or mancaves or whatever they had the woods.
I like The Guardian Weekly for full international coverage.
