I would like to take a moment to praise Quanta Magazine. They really are the one magazine that got me reading all forms of long form articles about science which if it were written plainly would go high above my head and/or would seem boring.
Quanta Magazine has also a good reputation among many theoretical physicists including myself. They of course do suffer from the occasional misconception, but as a whole the accuracy of their reporting is leaps and bounds above many other popular science sites or blogs.
Lifehacker introduced me to them and I've been a happy reader since then.
The thing I like the most is that don't play the "analogy game" too much and instead generally teach a small concept and then build up on it.
While other popular media outlets like Wired or Verge simply dumb it down too much or are factually incorrect.
I do like WIRED's Science Blogs though even though they are a little bit inactive.
