<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.currentaffairs.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.currentaffairs.org&#x2F;</a><p>I didn&#x27;t realize how many years I&#x27;d been looking for a serious, entertaining, well-written leftist perspective on news and the world until I ran across this magazine.

The Digital Antiquarian: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.filfre.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.filfre.net&#x2F;</a> Starts out focused on text-based games, but branches out to a history of computing in general. My favorite thing is that Kindle-formatted archives are available.

<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;zeihan.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;zeihan.com</a> Geopolitics kicks ass. Very fact based, provided lots of context to make strategic decisions, such as where to start your next company.

I like <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slatestarcodex.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slatestarcodex.com&#x2F;</a> a kinda pessimistic leftist who sometimes calls himself a libertarian, but wrote the best takedown of libertarianism I&#x27;ve ever read:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slatestarcodex.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;30&#x2F;meditations-on-moloch&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slatestarcodex.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;30&#x2F;meditations-on-moloch&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s what finally pushed me out of libertarianism after it was straining under my increasingly long list of qualifiers. He has a bunch of other great articles too ranging from ADHD to bayesian analysis.
