Ask HN: Do you read any humorous newsletters?

9 points by jorisboris 2y ago ↗ HN

I've got enough newsletters in my inbox covering coding, investing, starting a business, marketing, ...

I would like to balance it with more lightweight material

Hence any recommendations for humorous newsletters?

Many thanks!

Away from computing, I like Derek Lowe's writing in his "Things I won't work with" series. Here's one entry:

Matt Levine's "Money Stuff" is quite light in tone - and fairly often makes me laugh aloud. Plus it's quite educational for a high finance ignoramous like me.

Edit: Probably the funniest is this one: https://archive.ph/pcNIQ

Humorous newsletters can be a fantastic way to break up the monotony of the daily email grind. Some of my favorites include "The Daily Bonnet" for satire and "The Oatmeal" for quirky humor. It's a fun way to stay entertained and maybe even learn something new in a lighthearted way. Do you have any recommendations for humorous newsletters to check out?
