I was recently convinced by Dan Franks’ “case for links posts” in the first link below to start doing links posts.
And here it is, my very first links post, hopefully one of many, because these are super easy (you just open your last week of browser history and grab the most interesting looking links).
For obscure “maximizing ultimate readership” gamesmanship reasons,1 these are going to be subscriber only, and I’ll tease the first half before paywalling.
I’m also offering a coupon!
Good for the next month, any new paid subscribers using the link below get 50% off forever:
