Edit: apparently people here can't detect sarcasm, so I'm changing the header.
So, I took this thread as an excuse for going thought my lists of interesting websites accumulated over the years, and make a selection of things I think will specifically interest LWers. There are still a lot of links, because I sift through large swats of information. This is a valuable recourse, don't dismiss it just because it's badly organized.
I've also tried adding some descriptions because people were complaining about that.
I recommend checking out every one of these, and spreading it out over a few weeks.

http://thejuicemedia.com/ (Warning! Mindkiller!)(Although the political alignment probably is similar to much of LW, that's not the reason to watch these. That reason is it being a fantastic example of how art and humour can communicate serous things better than solemnity can.)

I was wondering how long it would take for this to hit LW, and in what context. Also, one of the few grayed-out links in your post (i.e., in my browser history).
Heartily seconded!
Sharing interesting links via the discussion section seems to have too much overhead. I suspect we all find things that are quite interesting but don't bother to share them on LW. This is an experiment to see if a dedicated thread can work better.
