"METAFILTER --
more addictive than crack"
http://www.metafilter.com/
This is a community weblog with daily postings about all sorts of things... politics, pop culture, tech news, current events, gadgets, funny/weird stuff, sci-fi, you name it. The political stuff mostly leans left, I think, but there are enough other interesting postings to keep anybody reading into the wee hours. You've been warned.
