Hate to say it but the new yorker genuinely deserves the respect it gets for their fiction work. Also their artwork. Bloody brilliant and absolutely consistent.

If you haven’t check out their podcasts.

The podcasts are amazing. And I asked, although for a while in the early aughts I swear the fiction each week was written by a Russian writer and was universally depressing for some reason.

Oh they do have eras where he everything seems to be written to fit one of their themes at the time.

Even now unless it’s one of the major writers there isn’t much variety.

Still pretty great though. Just a touch repetitive.
