Reddit. I spend a lot of time in the AppleHelp forums, helping weenies sort their shit out.

I used to love Jalopnik for car stuff, and Quartz for news... but both of them changed for the worse. Now I go back there just to be sad.

Every once in a while Boing Boing has something of interest, but nowadays it has just become Cory being strident and Xeni posting "hey look at this Reddit thread!" (I used to have a subscription to the magazine. THAT's how old I am.)

The Verge used to be fun and cool and edgy. Now it's just a corporate shill with an uber-repetitive layout. (Anything that is a headline will appear as at least two sub-stories, and three sidebars. There's actually only 4 pages of content on the site, all linked from different boxes on the main page.)

And finally, The Economist is still only any good in print. It's weird... their content just doesn't transfer to the web very well.

Oh. And several friends write for The Independent, which just ceased physical publication, and has moved online-only. We shall see what happens there.

So yeah. I frequent a bunch of sites that used to be cool, but I only go back there for nostalgic purposes nowadays.
