Who can resist a good listicle? You could spend a lazy Saturday watching listicle TV, like VH-1’s “300 Most Profound Reality TV Moments,” or you could read the equivalent here on the Web.
Here’s a bunch of recent listicles that I found thoughtful, helpful, funny and/or entertaining. Books, maps, feminism, wonkery, UFOs, dinosaurs, Hitchcock, debt collectors, civil disobedience, toxic churches, living wages and cruel politicians — all enumerated for your reading pleasure.
