As a stop-gap measure, until you find some rationalist meat friends, you can gain some immediacy from the freenode IRC #lesswrong channel. YMMV.

YMMV.

By this shminux means either we'll be discussing fun things, or gwern will be filling up the IRC channel with article quotes.

The IRC #lesswrong channel is sort of like the Mos Eisley Cantina of rationality.

A wretched hive of scum, villainy, and rationality?

And long Science Daily quotes.

Science Daily?! We must be cautious.

The latter gives you better mileage.

Gwern also spams cool links on his google+ profile. His website is also something I would recommend.

No doubt gwern is a cool cat. Just sometimes, some people (hi) want to engage in pointless sarcasm.
