What's a good science and tech blog?

no. academic journals, or blogs who post that level of material, on topics that interest you. general tech and sci journalism is vvvv bad

the average journal is actually likely a lot worse, being the product of a rather flawed system of science-by-random-funding-constraint-and-committee. sure, read tcs if that is your thing, but that is not actually that useful information for leading ones life

the average tech publication is literal advertisements and when they talk about anything real it’s misrepresented sensational bullshit for clicks. the journals I have stacks of are actually useful for my research, which is leading my life, so gently caress off. where do you think you’re posting?

well, the journals by a few steps of indirection pay my bills so that's good i guess, but i am not really convinced that the things that they are publishing, including the things i put into some of them, is terribly relevant to anything of any greater worth

i certainly struggle to imagine the world where i'd actually advice a real human person, not in on this particular racket, ro read any of them

yospos is the forum for laypeople and labourers

Post the Real poo poo you're privy to

alright but it depends on your interests. covering tech, art, media and humanities monoskop is really good.
https://monoskop.org/Monoskop & https://monoskop.org/log/ has loads of good texts. AAAAARG is cool too, the “Artists, Architects, and Activists Reading Group.” http://aaaaarg.fail - good to see it’s no longer closed to the public. maybe memory of the world http://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#property=authors
some others are just private groups to share white papers and poo poo

im into GIS & remote sensing stuff so journals like Cartographica, annals of the association of American geographers, geographical reports of Tokyo metropolitan university, Canadian geographer etc often have articles relevant to my work and studies. some others on data viz are also p interesting to me
