What are some great non flash sites?

Web sites with entries that take 5 minutes or less to read

  • Looking for websites I can check on my non-smartphone at work. I have a Kyocera phone from Virgin Mobile that can run Opera Mini. I can only browse the Web, so no games or Flash sites will work. The company locks down the Web access pretty tight, and I'm running out of ways to keep myself amused during downtime. What I'd prefer is sites I can check using Opera's RSS reader. Ideally, the sites will have entries that can be read in 5 minutes or less. The RSS requirement isn't firm, just a preference. I don' t care about the subject, as long as it's interesting. Thanks!

    http://journal.neilgaiman.com/ has been pretty fascinating to me even though I've never read one of his books. State history websites' RSS feeds (this day in history-type stuff, some great essays can be found; I live in California but I like http://historylink.org for example) http://www2.netflix.com/RSSFeeds RSS feed Local newspaper items http://longform.org/frequently-asked-questions/ (Editor's Picks or full-site feed)

Don't get me wrong, I love reading MeFi. But it's tough for me to follow a discussion without having seen the link being talked about.
