What are your favorite sites?

Unread postby Pops » Fri 12 Oct 2012, 12:24:18

Just wondering what other blogs/boards you visit.
I read Google news every morning,
PO news that Dan posts on the front page
Leanan's Drumbeat and whatever articles they post
Some Assembly Required he's a news amalgamator

A few of what else I have in Reader:
http://www.energybulletin.net/ - Post Carbon Institute
http://ourfiniteworld.com/ - Gail Tverberg from TOD
http://www.motherearthnews.com/ - Mom!
http://peakenergy.blogspot.com/ - Big Gav
http://www.instructables.com/ - DIY stuff
http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/ - Kolapsnik 8)
http://resourceinsights.blogspot.com/ - Kurt Cobb

The greatest thing about the net is it is like a huge magazine - and... that's also the worst thing. If I had a tablet I'd sit on the couch and read all day and never do anything...

So what do you read?
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)

I look at the Wall Street Journal* and Financial Times* each morning, and I check out Zerohedge.com in the evening for an edgier view of the financial scene.

For news, I like the Wall Street Journal* again, but I also check out the NY Times* and Washington Post and Google news. The DrudgeReport usually has something funny to read. If I want to see what is going on with both sides of the daily political spin I'll read on the left the DailyKos and LIttle Green Footballs and on the right the National Review

For Peak Oil news, the news page right here at PO.com is the best. I read almost all of the news stories and follow the links to TheOilDrum and the EnergyBulletin or whatever to check out whatever else those sites are covering at the moment. :)

Daily read are

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

http://endoftheamericandream.com

Both are written by the same guy

Weekly review would be

http://www.thehomeforsurvival.com
http://www.shtfplan.com

The home for survival site is great for a quick look because it just provides links to a lot of sites and simply lists them under specific headings

I guess I should also mention that peakoil.com is one of my home pages and has been for many years. I dont normally say much on here but am always looking and reading
There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope.

I'm on a couple of mail lists where I get good information on many topics of interest to me.

But I tend to spend a lot of time on http://talk.notthetalk.com when at work because it's a nice site to chat without smilies and other distractions (and it doesn't look too obvious to a passing boss). It is a site that grew from the ashes of the UK Guardian newspaper's talk site (which was closed nearly two years ago).
What we think, we become.

I start with the BBC News. I then go to the LA Times. After that I check out some of my local news station sites and then the local paper site. In addition, I may check out any number of other places including; Debka File, Socialist Worker, The Register, Physorg, Ars Technica, The Independent, The Telegraph, as well as earth quake and Arctic Sea ice real-time or daily update sites. Beyond that I tend to just get curious and who knows where I will be, maybe Youtube all day. I like The Archdruid on a weekly basis and Kunstler's rants as well. From time to time I reflect on what the Automatic Earth has to say.

www.declineoftheempire.com: Written by former ASPO member Dave Cohen, is probably my favorite blog. He doesn't write about oil that much these days ( he recently quit publishing his bi-weekly oil reports on the basis that the markets were too broken to be worth analyzing.), but he writes a lot about science news and the human condition, and his dark take on the subjects, devoid of what he terms "obligatory hope", is refreshing, at least if relentless cynicism and sarcasm are your thing.

The Archdruid Report: Greer is a smart guy and good writer, and I respect that he "walks the walk" of the sort of lifestyle he preaches. The variety of subject matter, from history to hayboxes is also welcome, and he usually has some valuable insights on whatever it is he is writing about at the time.

www.billhicksisdead.blogspot.com, aka The Downward Spiral: Decent writer with a blog in a similar vein to DOTE, posts on PO.com occasionally under his pseudonym. Focus on the ridiculousness of our politcal, media, and cultural situation.

www.exiledonline.com: Online Newsmagazine, kinda. Allthough I don't necessarily align with their political biases, they are at least serious journalists who take media ethics seriously, even if they can be embarrassingly petty about it. If you can filter the pie-eyed progressive-humanist element present in a lot of their main contributors writing, there is some really good stuff.

The Automatic Earth: It would be nice if they would broaden their scope up a bit again, as I am kinda sick and tired of reading about how doomed Europe is and "what the people need to do about it" (but won't). I get it already. Nicole Foss needs to start writing articles more often.

I rarely click through front page articles here at PO.com, it seems to be mostly either links to popular blogs I either read or don't read allready, Industry puff pieces, or Peak Oil/resource depletion primers I could write myself in my sleep.

That is about the size of it Pstarr. There are a bazzillion diversions but peak oil is IT. I am amazed that there are only about 20 of us holding the fort here for the core topic of our era. TOD with it's filtering doesn't appeal to me, I much prefer an open forum, which this site mostly is.
