1. When your current output can’t be sold to anyone, when your longtime subscribers have ditched your biased rag, what to do? What to do?
   Improve your act, actually cover science?
   Hell no.
   Put the past online and try to sell subscriptions using other peoples work to cover your ineptitude.

2. Current issue says all. Bill Nye the Idiot Guy gracing the front cover.

4. Love those ads from the ’50’s…”Learn Television Repair!” “Earn $3, $4, or $5 and hour!”

5. What? No flying car?

6. Kind of a gutsy move on their part. Anyone reading all the way through the older archived editions will rapidly realize that the quality of the writing, and the assumed intelligence of the readership has diminished vastly over the years.
   They once had entire monthly sections on doing chemistry lab experiments at home, big sections on photography, including the processing end, and big sections on building radio gear, with some of the projects approaching the complexity of commercial gear. It was sort of assumed the readership was literate, and technically minded.

7. from the Bill Nye issue we find Antarctica From Pole To Coast In Stunning Detail, which has some very pretty pictures of Antarctica.
   The problem for PopSci is being anti-science climate creeps they don’t want to show Antarctica surrounded by record amounts of sea ice.
   It’s bad for the narrative.
   So what do they do? They close crop the continent, cutting all that inconvenient sea ice out of the picture.
