I am looking for sources of semi-technical reviews and expository weblog posts to add to my RSS reader; preferably 4—20 screenfuls of text on topics including or related to evolutionary game theory, mathematical modelling in the social sciences, theoretical computer science applied to non-computer things, microeconomics applied to unusual things (e.g. Hanson’s Age of Em), psychometrics, the theory of machine learning, and so on. What I do not want: pure mathematics, computer science trivia, coding trivia, machine learning tutorials, etc.
Some examples that mostly match what I want, in roughly descending order:
Some journals in the Annual Reviews and Nature Reviews series (but these are a hit-or-miss), in particular Annual Review of Statistics and Nature Reviews Neuroscience;
How do I go about finding more feeds like that? I have already tried the obvious, such as googling “allintext: egtheory jeremykun” and found a couple OPML files (including gwern’s), but they didn’t contain anything close. The obvious blogrolls weren’t helpful either (most of them were endless lists of conference announcements and calls for papers). Also, I’ve grepped a few relevant subreddits for *.wordpress.*, *.blogspot.* and *.github.io submissions (only finding what I already have in my RSS feeds — I suspect the less established blogs just haven’t gotten enough upvotes).

“Primer” articles in the PLOS journals.
