I'm looking for the Forum's take on really cool and worthwhile blogs. Some interests: cycling (duh), true crime, sex and gender, law, fitness, basketball, etc. I don't actually care as much about the political perspective (if there is one) I just want it to be well-written and thought provoking.

A couple of favorites: Red Kite Prayer and the Scotus blog. Others? I think verticaldoug had one a few months back but I forgot to note it.

ALSO: is anyone here a web designer/coder that can migrate my blog from my website to a separate URL? Or know someone that can? If so, please PM me. Thanks.

Do you need to move your content to another server or just rename it on the same one?

I forget how I found it, but I have been a regular reader of Lawfare since 2016--once constitutional law issues came to the fore.

They have both staff writers, regular and occasional contributors. Affiliated with Brookings--but relatively neutral and in support of the rule of law:

Another sometime favorite of mine belongs to an old libertarian economist friend Tyler Cowen, who has both a blog and podcasts now. He's usually the guy who is quick with the counter-intuitive take on things, but has been getting better as he gets older. He was doing topical subjects before Freakonomics. There's a bit of insider baseball going on with the true believers versus everyone else--but he is a bright guy who will challenge your beliefs.:

More directly political--I'm a fan of Heather Cox Richardson--professor of history, and opposite end of the political spectrum from Tyler. She can be wordy, but she writes with real conviction about what is happening politically:
