[META] What blogs do you read?

[rfmcdonald]

Yes, I know that traditional blogging is dying. It may be more appropriate to say that it is irreversibly fragmented. Some blogged have headed towards the short snappy sharing of links on photos enabled by (among other platforms) Twitter and Instagram, some migrating to places like Medium where long-form content has a home, and still others have simply dropped out in favour of fora in gates ecosystems like Facebook. Things happen.

All that said, what blogs--or other accounts--do you still read? Are there writers on Medium, or elsewhere, that you like? What about Twitter or Instagram accounts of note?

Please, discuss. Share your perspectives in the comments.

Most of the blogs I read seem to be F/SF-related: File 770, Whatever, Making Light, Tor.com, Connie Willis' blog, Jo Walton's... I'm not on Twitter, but I do have a number of Twitter accounts bookmarked. In the Funny folder: "A bear", "Conan the Salaryman", and a bunch of writers and cartoonists (Dan Shive, Howard Tayler, John Scalzi, Jeph Jacques, Molly Brooks, Ursula Vernon, Seanan McGuire). In the Serious folder, mostly political: Obama, my senators (Durbin and Duckworth), Fred "Slacktivist" Clark, hilzoy (formerly of Obsidian Wings), James Fallows, Nate Silver, Sam Wang, Snopes, and the World War 2 feed.

So, some general categories, but otherwise an eclectic lot.
