Other web sites I like:
Of course everyone who has a web site has to have a links page so here's mine. These are sites either that I'm in the habit of visiting often or that I find useful.
Types: All News Blogs Books Columns Comics Gay Tech ReferenceVisited: All Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Infrequently Other
News
These are the sites I visit to learn about current events. Many of these sites also have good feature articles and commentaries.
The Daily Telegraph: Sure the New York Times or Washington Post may be the American papers of record, but I like getting a British perspective [D]
Dayton City Paper: Dayton's lucky enough to have an independent weekly newspaper, and this is it. The layout of the site is a bit weird, but you can read everything since they went online (unlike the Dayton Daily News). [W]
Dayton Daily News: An ugly, poorly-designed site with an annoying registration requirement, but worth visiting for me as a Daytonian because it covers Dayton (as does the Dayton City Paper). [D]
The Morning News: A New York-based online news magazine [W]
Queer Day: Blog or news site? Whatever you call it, it's updated daily with news from around the globe that affects gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and allies (in other words, queers) [D]
The Raw Story: If you're a Republican who can't stand the New York Times or NPR for being too liberal, don't even bother to look at this site; try lucianne.com instead. [W]
Salon: Another web magazine, similar to Slate, but definitely independent (you have to watch a short commercial each day to get a pass to read the articles, but it's worth it if you're too cheap to subscribe [plus you can background that window, do something else and come back when the commercial is over) [D]
Slate Magazine: Yes, it's owned by Microsoft but it has good articles on issues in the news and about life in general [D]
The Village Voice: The Voice has good news coverage and interesting features (including Savage Love -- scroll down to find it). [D]
Wired News: News from a techno/geek perspective but about all issues [D]
