I find that substack has a lot of good authors on the topics that are relevant/interesting to me (e.g. economics). You can search here [1] to discover authors. If you find an author on substack interesting, you can then see a list of their recommendations down on their homepage (e.g. [2]). If you follow this process enough times and subscribe to a few authors, you'll get a list of curated content in your inbox each week.

Hey, I think getting into arguments for a day then randomly giving up and wandering off is what the sites all about. Actually, I think the guy who stops replying first kind of wins - it's similar to why you shouldn't double-text when dating.
> I don’t think asking for a twitter space is all that weird.
My issue is that I don't think I have anything to contribute as I'm not making original conclusions but kind of just quoting a typical labor economist. (Different from quoting the average person, they're usually worried about different things.)
