Have been reading boingboing.net since before Reddit became the king of aggregated content platforms. Still do. But the quality of content are not what it once was. And the addition of their own gadget store has not made the experience better. Though there are still some good stuff to be found.
It has roots in what was a printed fanzine. Content is mostly tech, culture and politics.
Among the editors are maker Mark Faruenfelder. And privacy activist Cory Doctorow was once a big contributor, but I have not seen anything by him in a while.
