Here's a couple new ones from today.

Commentary http://thegrumpyowl.com/  Some interesting takes on emerging modern issues.

The opinions are pleasantly different from some of the other mainstream slants.

Here's some subsidiary links based off Grumpy Owl posts:

And I like the snarky edge he puts on some of the issues, which helps counterweight some of the "polished-fake-neutral" spin that a lot of mainstream media likes to report in. (Sidebar: The Simpsons has done a few brilliant parodies of the Newscaster tone and style. Do y'all remember that special cadence most of a certain newscaster generation used? (capitalization special) we bring you LIVE to the UNDERGROUND music scene here in SOUTH WESTCHESTER, conneticut (I made that up) where ATROCIOUS things are happening RIGHT NOW under our NOSES!)

Not sure if this thread can survive if everyone just shared their favorite websites. Plenty of people here uses bookmark organizers (not me). It may be something that only the future version of tfdocs can present the full list in a readable manner without having to mass scroll or mass click through pages. Plus some are NSFW but not real NSFW or real porn. (example the Joe Rogan podcast below)

(Teacher's Unions? Not sure) http://www.city-journal.org/ - Like the Atlantic, I don't know the reputation of the website but it's one of the top websites I tend to get when googling for education and like the Atlantic, there's something that keeps me hooked to the site.

(General/Documentary?) http://fora.tv/ - It was between this and Ted when I first started out. As I'm not able to follow many videocasts/podcasts, I settled on Ted but slowly opted for this site because of the sheer content.

(Podcast/Soap Box?) http://www.joerogan.net/ - aka the Joe Rogan Experience. It's a mainstream podcast especially for mma fans but since I don't know every entertainment based podcast out there, I pretty much stick with this since it deals consistently with random shit that can go into politics and then go into some social thing like fleshlight (masturbation tool), environmentalism, weed. Basically if you want to experience weed without smoking weed or if you liked shows like the Man Show and can tolerate all the shouting and just want a podcast that on some random days you're bored and will click to because you're bored but curious but expecting to be bored but then go Holy **** what am I listening to?! It's a good consistent podcast. Even a sucky episode would contain into WTF things. Can't be categorized as WTF though because the entertainers treat the subjects in a semi-serious manner.

For a quick preview of what to expect, either check the latest podcast (the first sentence alone would blow most decent minded non-wild/liberally minded teen) or just imagine this stand-up is a sentence in a podcast:


I'm not so much into ratings. They're pretty but if it doesn't contain at least something like this:


...it's going to be too useless and full of 4-5 star (because who would want a 1 star site as their favorite site?) and even in terms of usefulness, it's more for entertainment. mouser should definitely add that table as a template though. Those dragonball stars are ****ing awesome and looks professional as hell for a bunch of images added on top of a table.

P.S.

I didn't realize DC had these smileys and I don't think I'll find a topic to use this again so to the posters

http://mrguess.redbubble.com/

A couple that are interesting and different for reading and art.
My favorites, that others may not know of,
so a good place to post them I think.....

I'm friends with Todd Guess, an artist, and he is involved in the many parts of the other site's activities, as well as his own doings, which are similar in nature.

Paul Keith:
Recently saw in subjot:

England period props: http://www.lacquerchest.com/index.html

From the site:

A recent visitor to the shop exclaimed –
"Are there any more shops like this in the street?"

David Sedaris, a New York humorist, who happened to overhear the remark replied –
"There are'n't any more shops like this ANYWHERE ! where else can you find a collection of 36 hot water bottles!"

...and the only other film related site I know of:

Fantasy Weapons Shop: http://www.wetanz.com/weta-workshop-services/

...yeah I probably should have looked up Avatar sooner but I was never interested in that movie especially as I can't afford or have the know how to set up a screen with 3d.
