Even whatever?
Yes, whatever.
Nothing is safe from being rewritten to please the Woke.
I think there’s a market for journals with old-fashioned high standards who can carry the torch that these guys have unceremoniously dropped.
I stopped subscribing to Cook’s Country when they hired a new affirmative action “wokester” editor last year. They must know it was a mistake, they keep sending me free editions with Please Comeback letters attached.
Wokeness is spreading everywhere like a contagious disease. I don’t understand why so many people can’t simply enjoy a show, a hobby, a class, an investment, etc., without inserting some woke agenda into it.
All these kind of magazines went woke a long time ago. I used to watch the Home and Garden channel until every show was promoting the “happy homosexuals” theme. Goodbye HGTV.
The “woke mob” didn’t ruin anything. Corporate woke management did.
PS” As did the woke writers “who to cook and didn’t walk out en masse.
Go WOKE and go broke!

I gave up on Scientific American when that blithering idiot John Ronnie took over and started to pretend that social “sciences” were actual sciences.
I hope he got out of there without having responsibility for his wife’s student loan.
Bon Appetit is only online these days and with videos too. No more physical magazine. As far as I know.
So woke, but they ain’t going broke.
10 years ago, my wife officially retired as an RN.
She is a voracious reader, and she subscribed to many magazines and watched tv shows on our new tv. We also made many trips to our local library staffed by what we would now call the LBsomething/its.
Meanwhile, I was not renewing most of my magazines, other fish wraps and enjoying Amazon’s books online and delivery to our home.
Free Republic became my main source re what articles to read and what to avoid.
Meanwhile my wife was letting her magazine subscriptions retire and discovered the Amazon online/Kindle books with a simple monthly fee. Now, she reads between 4-6 Kindle books a week.
Our trips to the local liberal library went from one a week about one every month. Her favorite new books often were on the bottom shelf in the regular library instead of the new book section. She avoided the snarky librarians by using the self service checkout areas.
When the Covid B$ shutdown our local library, my wife no longer needed it. When, it reopened, she never went back to it.
She now hosts, once a week, a book reading group of women from our church. They read and discuss books at their sessions at our home. They order their books to read from Amazon.
The boating trade magazine (for the marine industry) is starting to become WOKE. A few months ago it was talking about how Climate Change will affect the marine industry. I’m waiting for them to write about MENTALLY ILL people (trans) and boating...
Cooks Country is good.
Milk Street is excellent. A good bit of well-written travel journalism with some of the recipes to give context and feel. Many of the recipes are complex and expensive (and tend toward more spicy than my wife likes) but are often really good.
The woke mob has ruined MANY magazines for me - most of them, in fact.
I don’t even recognize them by their content, versus several years ago.
“Bon Appetit.”
I used to get that magazine back when I was first learning to cook. Well, learning to cook BETTER. ;) Loved it. Haven’t seen it in years, though.
I’m more of an ‘America’s Test Kitchen’ ‘Cooks Country’ and ‘Milk Street’ kind of cook these days.
I do like, ‘Garden and Gun’ magazine. At this point I have enough stashed recipes and cookbooks to try something new every day of the week until I die from choking on a chicken bone. ;)
I just cancelled BH&G as it’s so ‘woke’ now, too, and more like a ‘People’ magazine. I hate it. Show me homes, show me gardens! Cut the cr@p.
Martha Stewart is no longer publishing her magazine, either. Love her or hate her, I’ve learned so much from her through the years between cooking and gardening.
