The feeling of reading through well-written long-form articles is very satisfying. Do any HN’ers have recommendations for websites with well-written long-form articles?

The Notre Dame Review of Philosophy provides book reviews of contemporary philosophy books, in ways which are good pointers to knowing if you want to pick up a book yourself. I'd also recommend The New Left Review, though it's subscription-based for most articles (though comparatively cheap for a subscription).

I couldn't get past two headlines before hitting the X in the forner
With the first thing you see being a request to pay (buy in print!!) and the second being a headline like "feminism needs capitalism like a fish needs a bicycle", well, I can't take it too seriously or "different".

Given that most newspapers have a pay wall, the half-screen pay-fence doesn't seem so egregious to me.
Regarding the article title, I'm not sure what was the problem. The Jacobin is a leftist newspaper, so critiques of capitalism are to be expected. If you dislike the style of the title, I can appreciate that, everyone has their own tastes. But there is also a quick summary of the thesis of the article, in case the title was too unclear:
> The inclusion of more women at the top of oppressive power structures shouldn’t be confused with women’s liberation. We need a radical, socialist feminism, not a repackaged version of Sheryl Sandberg’s corporate-friendly "lean-in" brand.

Is it still trying to bring back phrenology and "race science"? That's the short list. Quillette had a couple of okay articles, but I didn't want to wade through all the nonsense to find more.

Please don't use lies and fud in your political discussions. That's dishonest. Thanks.

Ah, the good old "it's not my opinion, therefore it's Nazi"-argument.
Well, if that's all you can do, thanks for the effort.
