Now more than ever I don’t want to read articles

Would anyone else use a thread with a simple premise to share good articles you've read? I don't miss social media much at all, but I DO miss the aspects of stumbling across good writing and I want to know what you smart people have been reading.
I'll offer this from N+1 by Gabriel Winant about affect, hopelessness and organising (I read it about it here but fecked if I can remember where or who mentioned it): https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-22/essays/we-found-love-in-a-hopeless-place/

Do blog posts count? This one pointed out a lot of interesting things that might be BS but the Murakami section pretty convincingly shows really neat and specific thing being unavoidably lost in translation that to me invalidates a lot of Western appraisal of Murakami (which isn't at all the point of the post and probably contra the author's intention, but that was the cool part for me):

I read articles linked from the newsletters I subscribe to. Today in Tabs helped wean me off Twitter.

Hell yes to blog posts. That post on Japanese is great, thank you.
I'm pretty time poor (I teach, so get no spare time during the day at ALL); I find stuff like Today in Tabs a bit overwhelming tbh.
