Omni Magazine but turn it into a science journal with every published study coupled with a commissioned science fiction story on possible future implications and human created digital art illustrations.

There's an anthology that did this, but in reverse order - sharing essays on the scientific underpinnings of the stories. It's such a great idea. We need more of it. ... and I think we need yours even more. europeanastrobiology.eu/life-beyond-...

Probably not the scientific papers (but maybe!). Definitely in the scifi and art.

Someone gave my parents a subscription to Omni every year when I was about 10-15 or so, and I devoured it. I know now that it was problematic, but it's where I learned about fractals and archaeology and other cool stuff, and while the fiction was sometimes, er, not for kids, I read it all anyway.

I never consumed it, but a lot of the best stuff I read was "originally published in Omni magazine"

Can i just check someone's sources on claims to call out bullshit?

Oh me too! I wanna do editorials shaming hateful people for thinking and saying stupid things. They will be backed with actual facts rather than what their poor ego makes up as they pee themselves in bed at night.

if they would like me to curate QOTDs for them I could absolutely provide more value to readers than another Brooks or Stephens column
