It seems to me that the Onion had a schism and split into the Babylon Bee and this new, very political version. I ended up unfollowing them on Instagram when it was (in my opinion) just thinly-veiled hate-based politics.

Did anyone experience something similar in the last year or so, or am I the one changing?

I am so glad to see things like this happening again. Im not saying "bring back all the magazines!" But some of them had a real place in the format.

The one thing I loved about the old tech mags was because of the longer cadence they could really focus on long form and more indepth articles than what we usually get.

Shout out to Atomic magazine in Australia during the early 2000s. Absolute peak of this stuff.
