Since Libby has a huge number of magazines, I'm trying to get in the habit of reading (flip through, read an article if it looks interesting) a few, regularly. Is there an equivalent of Popular Science/Popular Mechanics, but for Art? or other topics? Or, just any magazine people here do read regularly (of any topic) ? Boosts welcome.

People dump on Lower Decks for being too much fan service And yet, here's Strange New Worlds and all the little things they throw in? Including but not only all the background / minor characters in the season finale.
Why did they have to ruin a perfectly good "This guy went a bit too far during the war, that's not how starfleet sees itself" with "Ah, nope, he was drugged and so lost his shit, nevermind". Would have still had a good backstory for George Kirk for James to lean in to and be proud of (George curbed the excesses and was hindered for it, but did the right thing).
I didn't even realize Mercator was anything but niche these days. (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/4/un-votes-to-adopt-new-world-map-that-reflects-africas-true-size for context)
