Lists of old things and of others' things

My things, old and current

Others' things

Amusement

A Good Movie to Watch. A quick look suggests I'll like the sort of thing they recommend.
Alice Grove, another strange-world web comic.
Basic instructions, hipsters being snarky — consistently funny comic.
Bizarro, pretty good for a newspaper comic.
Colossal photography. I'm not photographing much these days, but it's nice to sometimes see some good examples.
Cyanide & Happiness, humor comic, sometimes off-color.
Derelict, interesting web comic but prone to delays between updates.
Dinosaur Comics, clip-art dinosaurs talking.
Doctor Grumpy in the house, mocking the medical industry.
Drive, often whimisical comic but actually a good sci-fi story.
Fowl Language, angsty ducks.
Great job, Internet!, procrastination without end.
Gunnerkrigg Court, lovely web comic about a fantastic boarding school.
Happle tea, infrequently-updated sarcasm.
I work at a public library, making fun of what goes on in the library.
Lunar Baboon, pencil drawings about fatherhood.
McSweeney's internet tendency, to be honest, most of it is too wordy for me.
Moviepooper!, just the endings of the movie plots.
Nimona, a sweet little knights-and-monsters story comic. It ended some time ago, but the last time I looked (December 2015) it was all still there.
Questionable Content, long-running web comic about hipsters at their coffeeshop.
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, another daily absurd-humor comic strip.
Savage Chickens, daily chickens.
The Bright Side, clever (if sometimes kind of emo) comic about having Death as a buddy.
The Specialists, only slightly super heroes in WWII.
Witchy, nice story about a world of witches.
Zen Pencils, lovely illustrations of thoughtful quotations.

Food

Minnesota

Heavy Table, Minnesota dining, mostly Twin Cities.
MinnPost Politics & Policy, good source of Minnesota political news.
MN Progressive Project, political opinion.
MPR News, Minnesota Public radio putting their news stories onine.

NOLA

Ashley Morris, my late friend Ashley's blog, run for a while by his wife Hana, and now mostly silent except for the occasional comment spam.
Gambit, the Gambit Weekly Online.
LaPolitics, john Maginnis is gone, but his site lives on.
Louisiana subreddit, usually a good roundup.
New Orleans Advocate, the new daily paper in New Orleans. They've picked up alot of the great writers and staff from the Times-Picayune when the Pic's new out-of-town owners decided to gut that paper because they thought that would go as profitably as it had elsewhere.
NOLA Defender, serious news, irreverent presentation.
The Lens, investigative journalism,
The New Orleans Food Cooperative. I ran their website for a year or two when they ran a buying club. Now, years later, they've opened a their own store in the Bywater..
Times-Picayune, the New Orleans Times-Picayune online. They used to be a great daily newspaper, and then a new owner decided to go cheap and glossy.
Uptown Messenger, neighborhood news.
