Starter Packs
Created by Dave Levitan (3)
NBAsky, finally

Paste/Jezebel/AV Club/Splinter
Four good websites are now under one banner: Paste, Jezebel, AV Club, and Splinter. Here are some of their writers.

The same (very good!) big accounts end up in a lot of these starter packs, so here's one with some mildly less known (~<10,000 followers, at least for the moment) but just as cool accounts. They post good jokes or good takes or good photos and so on.
