For casual browsing and deeper reads I find myself going here:

Scrolling through that pudding site, right away I notice the tell tale sign of midwit misconception.

- a story makes claims about women in the news, without any controls or comparison to men (i.e. it's useless)

- a story presents one of those toy economic models about random trades between people, not realizing they are complete nonsense with zero predictive power

This is just what I notice on a first visit. It's extremely well produced nonsense.

I really wish more blogs took on this creative approach. it's hard but such an excellent presentation style. IMO it's the best form of sharing information online

Lol are you really complaining about the veracity of a site with the headline “every time someone says ‘cool’ in community”?

They’re cute little stories with decent presentation, not the economist.

Thanks for the recommendations. Bleepingcomputer is a website I've been following for a while too. Great source of information.
