I have a fairly well-stocked RSS reader, so I tend to have long list of things to read that (mostly) get saved in Pocket. The articles listed here are the ones that I have actually found the time to read and formulate some thoughts about. There are also a whole lot of other pieces that I’ve read and think are worth checking out, but haven’t gotten around to commenting on. Maybe one day.
