Announcing Rational Newsletter

Hi,

I noticed in the past there were a few efforts to start a periodic feed with highlights from the rationalist community.

Here's my attempt: Rational Newsletter

It's a weekly recap of the best articles from the rationalist community of LessWrong, Slate Star Codex, Overcoming Bias, Intelligence.org and similar sources.

All posts are curated by hand, and going forward I'm planning to keep ~5 posts per category, short and sweet. I wanted to ask for your feedback:

Any feedback and criticism is super welcome!

An RSS feed would be nice. Aside from that, I like it. Curation of content is a lengthy and undervalued service.

Did the RSS feed ever come about? I don't see it anywhere obvious there.

This looks really good! Subscribed.

In addition to aggregating multiple sites, this also seems useful for anyone who wants to spend less time refreshing LessWrong (but avoid missing content).

Thank you, the newsletter is alive and well :) I've managed to keep the updates weekly and I'm planning on continuing doing that.
