an important poll about HARPER'S magazine

findings, easy

index. this is maybe shifting though. do the lil extract boxes throughout count as findings? cause they are maybe the best bit.

those are part of Readings

I considered adding Readings to the poll but decided it was too diverse. Index and Findings each have a distinct thing going on.

plus they are each one page features and there is a nice duality there

best part of Readings is generally the trial/interrogation/deposition transcripts

yeah, anything written through a professional lens is p dope. index beats findings I think. it can be similarly poetic but feels more substantial to me.

findings is so dystopian and weird, i look forward to it but it really makes me depressed

findings.

Findings: idgi
Index: yay

i love findings. readings are the best. index always feels kinda manipulative - i skip it now

Index then readings and tbh I rarely make it to findings

I don't like the index much, always seems like an exercise in righteous indignation. Findings is pretty good. I enjoy Readings much more than either.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Findings is so variable - sometimes it's largely funny, sometimes it's ominous, sometimes it's weird and poetic. The index varies too but I really look forward to Findings, it's more like a poem to me

Can't vote since there is no option for Richard Maltby, Jr's puzzle.

findings imo.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

nice

the one-two punch of the last two lines of the june index are a p good exemple of why it is an enriching & rewarding read imo
