Not a bad idea, but do their print magazines have pretty pictures?

OK I think I might get it, but I have a couple questions. So the Monthly Review does monthly issues that are about 60 pages, right? And what’s the ad content like? I hate when magazines have commercials, but I didn’t have a problem with Jacobin since there were very few ads and they were all actually relevant to socialists.

When I moved out of my last house a roommate left behind some of her books and they got mixed up in our stuff and my bf doesn’t want us to get rid them in case she comes back for them and long story short we now have a book by Melinda Gates and a DPRK defector story that even the ghostwriter admits is complete bullshit on our bookshelves next to my commie shit and his dnd shit. Yeah.

From the little I read, not particularly. The only Chapo who’s writing was particularly entertaining is the verboten one, and the book is kind of just recycling bits from the show but with less wit.

My experience with it was that it was very dated by the references it used.

I read it front to back, at least twice, and I can’t say I remember anything outside of Felix’s bit making fun of national stereotypes and Eli Valley’s absolutely abhorrent(good) illustrations
