Re:Mathematicians clear hurdle in quest to decode primes by CWuestefeld on Friday January 14, 2022 @10:04AM (#29935284)
Over the past few years, Quanta has become my go-to place for learning about current science developments. A decade or more Scientific American started focusing on their political agenda. And in the last year or two, American Scientist has been completely taken over by wokeness. I haven't found a better venue for pleasure-type learning about science than Quanta.

My thoughts exactly.

To be fair, I think there are economic conditions that drive the unfortunate situation. Quanta is very lucky to have enormous free support from a billionaire-funded foundation (Simons Foundation).

When publications become desperate for cash, they dive into the politics and culture war rathole.
