It has been years since I read the magazine. Was thinking of subscribing. Thoughts?
Is Texas Monthly still a liberal rag?

Yes
Yes. Save your money.
Oh no…….will some liberal articles make you guys go blind or something.
I love it. Regardless of political slant, it has some great articles about interesting places……history…..and the food reviews are awesome, even if I disagree with a few.

The only reason that mag stays afloat is BBQ articles. Otherwise, no one would buy it except hippies in Austin

It will definitely decrease your IQ
Save your brain cells and never ever listen to the waste of time and precious oxygen that is a liberal opinion on anything
Especially on BBQ
Take Texas Highways.
I quit reading Texas Monthly when the slant was not just liberal, but the writings seemed to have distain for Texas and called us all Bubbas- which in their eyes, we are buffoons.

Agree on Texas Highways. TM is so insulting to everything I support. Quit subscribing about 30 years ago. No loss.
I enjoy Texas Monthly as it mirrors the Reddit level libs who just have to twist themselves up take a jab at Trump or republicans. They are on the fifth or so article about the plight of poor migrants and how rough they have it when they get to the US and are allowed to stay until meany bad orange man kicked out the hijos and abuelas.
And this reminded me to renew my Texas Highways.

Not to mention Texas Monthly is 85% ads.
Should just rename it Austin Monthly.
Who still subscribes to magazines? Let those businesses die already.

Their restaurant reviews are suspect. The family joke is that I used to suggest eating someplace they recommended, and it would be horrible. Just one of the many reasons we haven't subscribed in years.
Liberal articles are everywhere in mass media. Who the **** needs to read what a liberal thinks? I know what a woman is.aggiedent said:

Oh wow, Austin's version of "The New Yorker".
Outside of the BBQ writeups the only thing I've really ever found worth a **** was an article from, I think the 80s, that was a deep dive on the history of the King Ranch.
Texas Monthly articles fall into 4 categories:
1. BBQ (occasionally tacos, too)
2. Willie Nelson
3. Larry McMurtry (or some other Texas author)
4. Favorable coverage of Beto O'Rourke, Colin Allred, James Talarico, or Jasmine Crocket (or all of the above).

Tarrytown Lib Monthly.
I used to subscribe about 10 years ago. When I came across an article that strongly implied being against physician assisted suicide was cruel - I knew I could no longer overlook the left leaning articles.
It's a shame because the concept is great but it just got to be too much.

Don't leave out Pee-Wee Herman and his bicycle in the basement of the Alamo. What was just a mildly amusing cheeky article by literary phenom Stephen Harrigan… starts by him moaning about losing the job righting the information placards at the new Alamo center because they thought he mentioned slavery too much - which undoubtedly he did.
I throw them away if I see them in the lobby at work.

It should be renamed That Time of the Monthly.

If I see magazines lying around, I'll rip out random pages just to piss off the next person who sits down to read it.

5. Mimi Schwartz ragging about some aspect of Texas A&M University she finds offensive and boarish.
Lib rag. Good stories. Filled with ads for stuff I would never buy.
Nobody gives a backhanded compliment like Texas Monthly.
It's a clip not a magazine.
IF you manage to find an article in that ad filled catalog it's still trash.
a free box of depends should come with the subscription.
There are plenty of ways to get great info on anything Texas. Don't pay those fake ass journalists a dime.
Literally half the magazine are advertisements trying to separate wealthy sociaiite wives from their husbands money.
I always love the writers' bylines too, after you read a subtly hateful article about motorcycle parks or gun ranges, like "Angelo was born in New York City and met his partner, Quantavious, while majoring in Gender Studies at Brown University. They got to Texas as quick as they could to raise their cats, George Floyd and Socks in a healthier climate."

aggiedent saw your post and floored it to the nearest news stand to pick up a copy
Waste of paper... someone a couple of years ago gave me a gift subscription (while I live in FL). They keep renewing it too, or so it seems. Typically it just goes to the trash unless I need some fire pit kindling. Thought I'd take a look at the "Bum Steer" awards... first individual was described as anti-choice. Trash bin confirmed.
Everything is a liberal rag according to somebody on this board. Read what you want.
