So far, none of these are paid or affiliate or referral links. If I do start networking at that level, I’ll call it out specifically.
In no particular order, this is a non-exhaustive list of blogs I read at least occasionally:
John Scalzi’s Whatever
Patrick Rothfuss’ Blog
Jenny Lawson’s The Bloggess
Cory Doctorow’s Craphound
Leslie Lanagan’s Stories That Are All True
Marie Vibbert’s Science Fiction. Mostly.
I also read several emailed newsletters instead of visiting websites:
Matt Levine’s Money Stuff
Matt Stoller’s BIG
Bill Bishop’s Sinocism
Sam Feller’s Awkward Engineer
Randall Munroe’s XKCD
Tim Cotton’s Newslog
Ryan Holiday’s Daily Stoic
Matt Kirkland’s Dracula Daily
Ishmael’s Whale Weekly
My primary news services are: New York Times, NPR, Puck, and Semafor.
I also support several folks on Patreon, but that fluctuates so go see my profile.
