I had extra time today, so I sorted through a huge stack of magazines from over a decade that had been sitting around collecting dust. I thought I'd keep them forever, but I can find anything I want or need online now, so I'm donating them to the local library. Does anyone read physical, turn-the-pages magazines anymore... other than the ones in the doctor's offices? The times have changed, and I kind of miss life before the internet.

Never. The closest I come is flipping through the holiday gift guide Amazon sends out as my kids circle every single toy they want. Such a smart move on their part. It makes me feel nostalgic for the pre-internet era as well.

I know people who still prefer the printed page, but most have moved on to electronic versions. I canceled my New Yorker print subscription a few years back because I was missing too many issues of the magazine. The Post Office just isn't equipped to deliver magazines anymore, or so it seems. If you don't get an issue the magazine will extend your sub, but you can't get the issue replaced. I liked getting the print edition but it was such a headache to deal with that I finally said to hell with it and canceled.

I still keep a few magazines around—there’s just something calming about flipping pages without a screen in sight. I totally get what you mean about missing the pre-internet pace. Do you ever miss how slow and quiet everything felt back then?

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.
