# Great rationality posts by LWers not posted to LW

Ever since Eliezer, Yvain, and myself stopped posting regularly, LW's front page has mostly been populated by meta posts. (The Discussion section is still abuzz with interesting content, though, including [original research](/lw/f6o/original_research_on_less_wrong/).)

Luckily, many LWers are posting potentially front-page-worthy content to [their own blogs](/lw/d8t/blogs_by_lwers/).

Below are some recent-ish highlights outside Less Wrong, for your reading enjoyment. I've added an ***** to my personal favorites.
