The Digital Antiquarian: <a href="https://www.filfre.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.filfre.net/</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="https://longreads.com/" rel="nofollow">https://longreads.com/</a> has a ton of long form writing and is very well curated.

He has a bunch of other great articles too ranging from ADHD to bayesian analysis.
