Tedium

Tedium is a must-read, and the new design feels as thoughtful and smart as the content always does. So glad to see the site evolving and thriving.

Just signed up for the newsletter and I'm super excited to get my weekly dose of offbeat news. Granted, I don't really know what I'm getting, but I think the surprise will be worth the shot. Love the honesty of the website, the genuinely interesting stuff in there, and the feel that it gives me. Just like talking to my more research-oriented friends.

One of the best newsletters at work today. Always thoughtful, always finding a unique angle, doesn't look like anything else out there in all the very best ways, and just plain great. (I particularly loved this from a while back, a rallying-cry for indy bloggers, which also feels prescient about the reasons indy newsletters have exploded in the years since: https://tedium.co/2019/01/01/2019-independent-blogging-trends/) I've been a reader and supporter on Patreon for a while now, and proud & happy to be so. Firm recommendation here.

As Anil Dash notes, it is simply a "must read". And the new design is beautiful, easy to navigate. Ernie does exactly what he says he'll do: make otherwise boring things interesting. But the more fascinating bits are his deep dives into the history of things that usually don’t have histories written about them. That's the skill set. Which makes it my morning coffee read (I live in Greece, 7 hours ahead of Ernie) every day.
