Sick and tired of standard narratives about DeepSeek or some asinine political theater. I just wanna enjoy the things I read.

Recommend blogs to read along: Computer Science Design (Art, typography, anything) Philosophy (more along the lines of what Aeon.co does) Space (I want to study astronomy and astrophysics, but any blogs around space travel, or alien theory is greatly appreciated) History (especially how it influences daily culture, such as Nasi Goreng being a staple in Netherlands owing to colonialism. No WW2 pls. I get that it was important, but there is more to history) Literature Music

Will really appreciate any reccos

Have you tried reading books instead? Shaping thoughts typically takes a lot of time, and blogs may not be the best medium to find interesting information.

I'd recommend going to a library or bookstore. Esp one with literary magazines.

It's almost like you're asking for self-promotion, so I'll try. Here's a few entry points:

A long series on how I built my first 3D printer: https://www.jonashietala.se/series/voron_trident/

I've been blogging with varying levels of quality for 15 years about random things.

There are enormous amount of aggregators who compile blogs and articles across the web. As a person who looks for new things to read, this is how I get my fresh feeds.

1. Mozilla Firefox Start Page - Shows blogs and articles from Pocket

2. Google Chrome Discover [Mobile] - Tuned to my interest and search result

3. HackerNews - Of-course not to be missed

4. daily.dev - using it for 450+ days, its fresh and aggregates various format contents

5. RSS Reader - I have subscribed to few RSS feeds based on my exploration and areas of interest

6. News Letters - Find some interesting newsletters from individuals and companies that align with you

Though these are not direct recommendation of blogs to read but a diverse medium to help you pull in more distributed and fresh content to keep you up to date

May The Force Be With You :)

Read books not blogs. Start with the classics and poetry and feel it out. Then seek further analysis. Linguistics will help you there and its a huge subject of study but one of the best direct analytical tools in your belt.
