Inspired by this article, here is a set of links to other small websites. At this point it’s just a page of my main website, as I’ve yet to decide if I want to really commit to the article’s exhortation by coding a page on a separate host.

The platform was only launched in 2022, and all of these are blogs I’ve only discovered since the start of 2025. Substack seems to be positioning itself as the host of choice for today’s pretentious hacks cutting-edge intellectuals, almost the embodiment of that famous old Simpsons line.
