Sci Am has been junk since the mid ‘90s
Right on. Political purveyors. The claim to science is just the bait. Run by a bunch of prep school kids with an agenda.
I started my subscription to them when I was 19 years old and only one year into my enlistment in 1977. I cancelled them around 1989 when they started getting into the fake climate crap.
For decades my Mom gave me annual subscriptions to Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. Around 1993 I asked her to stop the Popular Science since it became nothing more than the fake science global warming. She kept sending me the Popular Mechanics and I didn't mind much as I garnered a ton of great woodworking projects from them even with their climate hoax articles. When she passed on about 12 years ago I never did renew my subscription and don't even care.
