Oh, so many places! I generally do a lot of reading.

I love longform.org whenever I have more than 30min to spare and am looking for deeper reading.

Farnam Street (fs.blog) has some really great content on mental models and tools.

I'm slowly reading through 80000hours.org, which covers how to re-think your career to solve the world's "biggest problems"

waitbutwhy.com has some fun long posts on random topics, and is currently doing a lengthy series called "The Story of Us" about the development of ideas, primarily in the U.S.

And if I feel like going on a wikipedia loophole, I go to explodingtopics.com/ (which I first saw in a ShowHN!) and google the top results for the past month.


That's my weekend sorted then! Thanks for that list. I'd love to see your bookmark list/browser history to see other blogs/sites you read


I used to spend a ton of time on Twitter, but actually nowadays I've been on Instagram a fair amount (according to the Screen Time total). Takes over a decent amount of my spare time not involved in more productive activities.


My brother is just five minutes downtown so we have coffee often. Since I make the best coffee we usually hang out here.


I run a few open source apps and maintain those in my spare time.


Mostly discords and twitter, occasionally Reddit


Here and reddit.


Facebook. I get a lot from it. YMMV.


Typically in restaurants


Instagram and Twitter


gwen.net is also a great place for some good content.


Discord, Reddit


On Instagram
