Radical Work Links

I made this list last week while sharing my go-to websites while I'm at work. Figured I'd share 'em with you. Enjoy!

http://www.cnn.com/
This is a staple, I check it probably 100 times a day. Always excited to read "BREAKING NEWS."

http://www.nytimes.com/opinion/
I may not have time to read the entire NYT.com, but I always read the Op-Eds. It's essential to keeping up on things.

http://news.yahoo.com/i/964
Yahoo News "Most Popular." This site has pics and headlines no respectable news site would link, like DEAR MARGO and "Babies Know Happy Songs from Sad Songs."

http://www.puttingthingsinplainsite.blogspot.com/
This is a fun blog written by some guys I know. You know most of them too.

http://gawker.com/
This is my lunchtime reading now that I don't eat with work buddies. I always liked Gawker more than Russo anyway.

http://www.dealbreaker.com/
This is a Wall Street tabloid/blog, may not interest you, but can be funny like a story about the Lehman Brother's CEO hiring bodyguards so his former employees don't kill him.

http://3quarksdaily.blogs.com/3quarksdaily/
3 Quarks Daily is a "sophisticated" blog introduced to me by Shahab, links stories about poetry, science, arts, philosophy, and politics. David Byrne and Richard Dawkins read it.

http://boingboing.net/
This is like a science/nerdy blog. I don't read it religiously, but it's interesting when work isn't.

http://www.nypost.com/news/nypdblotter/nypdblotter.htm
It's thrilling to read about people who get stabbed near your apartment.

http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/
Written by the Freakonomics dudes, also can be boring

http://www.emilymagazine.com/
This is a personal blog written by Emily Gould (of former fame). Very introspective and diaryesque. Drama comes up time to time.

http://thesearemymemoirs.blogspot.com/
This is a personal blog written by Josh David Stein (of Gawker fame, now he writes for the Post). He's Emily's ex. However since he's been engaged he doesn't blog as much as he used to.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
Liberal bullsh*t, but I still read it time to time.

http://lovefortheloveless.blogspot.com/
Probably one of the funniest blogs I've ever read. It's a friend of my roommate's who mostly blogs in code about her fat, Jewish sister. Good writer too.

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/
This is a New York City Metro affairs blog, mostly dealing with local politics and whatnot


HONORABLE MENTIONS: New York Magazine website, Vanity Fair website, Slate website.
