Armchair General
Men's Health (no, not gaming related at all, but hey)

For modern / near future: gun /outdoor magazines of all kinds work for me.
For FRP: historical and metaphysical magazines (for info on magical concepts).

New Scientist.

A scifi, near future, modern or superhero GM's best friend.

Both of these are British magazines, but you can often find them stocked in many bookstores.

Fortean Times - a look into the bizarre and uncomprehensible things that happen around the world and in history

Bizarre - fascinating culture-scope, with a tendency to peer to the odd

I'd have to say Parabola Magazine. It's a quarterly. Each issue is devoted to a single theme that is addressed by myth, religion, and philosophy, such as the Hero, War, or Death, and presents a mind-bogglingly diverse anthology of writings and artwork on that theme from all cultures and historical eras.

And what modern GM can forget...

Soldier of Fortune!

I used it to run Twilight:2000 back in the late 80s.
