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!

Metafilter
Until a recent upgrade, I had your phone. Metafilter worked fine on it.
Also - a real Android phone is only $99 from VM - and you can keep your existing voice and data plans.

Response by poster: 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.
