What blogs/websites are you reading now?

[dada]

I'm curious where the posters at RI get their everyday info fixes (besides here, of course)... news sites, blogs, fun stuff...
I have a few sites that I visit everyday, others that I check out a few times a week, some I read religiously for a few weeks, and then they fall off of my radar. I'm sure everyone has tons of bookmarked links, but I'm talking about the ones that you are reading right now. There's only so many hours in a day; what sites are you giving those hours to?
I love where this site leads me just from reading the threads, and I'd be interested to see a thread as densely packed with links as the music thread is with tunes. Hopefully people will contribute. If not, eh. I'm going to start with my current daily reads. I'll post my second tier, my few times a week-ish reads, later, when I collect them.
I'm not sure if there's already a similar thread, but I didn't find one.

And RI.

I want to say a list like this tells alot about a person, but really it's just a snapshot for a moment in time. Sites I'm hooked on at the moment. I was going to post explanations and summaries of the links, but it wasn't working out. It's funny looking at what I'm filling my brain with. I recommend posting a list of links just for that kick.

Good stuff. I'm enjoying this. From part 2:

"The million dollar question that most people ask themselves about the Manson story is: how did he do it? How did he take a group of young people whose attitudes of alienation from their parents and society weren’t at all atypical of people of their generation, and instil in them a degree of obedience and loyalty so extreme that some would ultimately commit acts of extraordinary brutality, and many others acquiesce to those acts? How did he instil in his followers a conviction of his personal purity, sincerity, and divinity, which would endure for many years after the Tate/LaBianca murders? But people are always asking questions of this type. How did Hubbard do it? How did Jim Jones do it? Why do cults work? On the other hand, we never, or at least very rarely, ask ourselves why we acquiesce to the myriad things which have been presented to us as societal norms by our dominant culture. In the same way that average or “normative” physical relationships contain subtle elements of domination and submission which are reflected in an extreme fashion in the practises of sadomasochism, the cult reflects in miniature the ordinary habits of coercion, conditioning, and control exhibited by cultures and societies everywhere. The dirty secret of society’s loathing of cults is that it is the loathing not of an aberration but of a rival. To paraphrase Ismael Reed, the history of the world is the history of the warfare between cults of varying degrees of general acceptance."
