What Webpages Are you Reading Today?
We often come across online news bits, articles, essays, stories, anecdotes, et al. that capture and hold our interest. I have several links bookmarked under Interesting Reads, some of which come from Mukamo.
How about you guys -- what websites/pages are you reading today? You can also post your favorite links here.
I'll start:
How Humans Become Fearless
Atheists In Prison

Can't really read that much via PC. Prefer the book itself. But anyway, I just recalled an old website were I used to worm through whenever it gets a bit boring. Just short reads and stuff like that:

^Banksy's relatively low-key yet meaningful irreverence is refreshing.  The lines and shading are slightly reminiscent of John Van Fleet's work.

(I do confess my ever-growing book collection has been somewhat neglected as of late, though.  )

^ Well, I confess that I do not have a critical eye for paintings, sketches, drawings and the like. Not as much as you and others here do.
But I have quite an impressive collection of books.

^ Damn right! Haha! Youtube mud-slinging has never failed to amuse me.
Pitchfork for music. Greencine for films. What Would Tyler Durden Do for celebrity gossip. Fleshasiadaily for pretty girls and snarky writeups. Capitalism Magazine for illumination.

book reviews in amazon... sometimes i read too much book reviews that i don't get to read the book at all.
right now, im still deciding whether steven pinker's "how the mind works" is really an awesome book to read. or will only waste my time

Ooh.
For a glimpse at your trove of infinite wisdom I will gladly trade my soul. It's slightly used and about the size of a Tic Tac. Probably tastes like one too.
