I recently posted in praise of curators. This list of other internet magpies didn’t quite make it into that long post. Sharing here because you might enjoy their selected gems too.

• Farnam Street Sunday Brain Food: a weekly newsletter full of ideas and insights that never expire.
• The Marginalia (formerly Brain Pickings): a free Sunday digest of the week’s most mind-broadening and heart-lifting reflections spanning art, science, poetry, philosophy, and other tendrils of our search for truth, beauty, meaning, and creative vitality. Here’s an example. Also Maria once RT’d me so I love her forever.
• Tiago Forte: Building A Second Brain. “Improving your productivity and building your Second Brain, often featuring other thought-leaders in the Personal Knowledge Management space”
• Arts & Letters Daily. “The best literary and arts writing on the internet.” I’m not a subscriber but I sometimes drift here when I’ve got a spare 10 minutes and have already done the Guardian crossword.
