I have no idea what the fuck’s going on most of the time unless I hear about it second hand.
- I do not watch videos (I am a boomer)
- I do not listen to podcasts (boomer)
- I don’t use social media except hexbear/lemmy
- not gonna read the paper or w/e (not that much of a boomer)
- I only read WSJ/HuffPo/Politico/CNN whatever for the laughs every once in a while
Any good sites you go to for reputable news? Blogs that are not necessarily news but are maybe about the news are good too. Lately I’ve been reading a lot of Erin in the Morning, for example.
Bonus points if it has an RSS feed
I don’t. I’m a newscel. I’m taking a tolerance break.
My wrists are too thin to be able to hold up the New York Times Sunday edition.
I’m a liberal.
I’m an incel.
My wrists are thin,
And my dick is small.This is the straight-gay life.
Beggin’ for a wife.Feels bad to be a liberal.
Is this better or worse than being a thicc wristed Trot who trains pamphlets all day
Hell yeah, let’s give it up for the newscels
Some of you need to cough it up and reveal the news goods, because every now and again I come across one of you lovable dorks that can tell me every recently elected member of some remote 150-pop hamlet’s Liberation Party, their star sign, and their policy positions. Hand over the news sources

News now is just voyeuristic ragebait to increase ad revenue. I just skim headlines on lemmy tbh
can’t argue with that tbh
!news@hexbear.net mega
But also I have a shit load of rss feeds I have slowly collected. There is no one site to go to tho, you gotta sift through the shit
here, nerd.
hexbear, local stuff from local outlets via rss and email, plus secondhand
I hate scroll NY Times and hate watch MSNBC 50-60 hours a day.
hexbear and twitter communists are my legit main sources of news
My RSS feed has the following:
The Intercept
Jacobin
Seymour Hersch
Ars Technica
EFF Deeplinks
It’s Going Down
Foreign Policy (lib)
The Economist’s The World This Week (lib)
My local paper (lib)
Chapo.chat
astral projection
I get mine from deciphering coincidences that happen around me, as well as occurences of words in a sequence that was revealed to me in dreams by an angelic alien species at the age of 7. Also I listen to every episode of My Little Pony in reverse to catch the secret messages the show’s producer hides for me.
Russian telegram (Russian news and analysis)
Private Weixin/QQ group chats (Chinese news and analysis beyond state censorship)
Naked Capitalism (general finance/economics - the only website that Michael Hudson reads daily, and so I simply follow what he does)
Status Coup (US labor news)
That’s probably enough material for the day. For everything else, I rely on the Hexbear news megathread.
CGTN, Telesur, various small independent outlets (their twitters/telegrams mostly), mintpress, and Hexbear’s news megathread.
I try to keep off lib shit for my mental health, the exception being the osint telegrams for war stuff. Any time I turn on BBC or Sky or something I end up shouting at the tv and feel my blood pressure go through the roof it’s really not healthy.
