Twin peaks makes me nostalgic for a life i never had
Probably more reliable that most content on my news feed … do your dreams have an RSS feed?
Ooh, now that’s an interesting engineering problem.
I could design the myoelectric sensor interface, but they’d have to learn to lucid dream to use it. From there pushing it to RSS is easy.
Associated Press, Reuters, sometimes BBC and CBC. Most other news sources are just repackaged AP newswires with some commentary added.
Mostly the same here with NPR and the Economist thrown in.
Reuters, AP, NYT, WP, and to a small extent, Ground News. I filter for high factuality. My viewing is rated as slightly skewing left, but this is caused by so many Right sources are not credible sources. Known lies are not worth my time. My biggest gripe about Ground news is that to be balanced, I must waste time on sources that are not credible. Sadly, I can listen to RT or certain USA Right leaning politicians after a little time, and hear the same news.
I forgot FP Foreign Policy and the Economist.
For what it’s worth, I would say those sources mostly lean center right.
I’m a big fan of Ground News. Helps wading through the pool
Previously, NYT, Washington Post, NPR. Now, I avoid it. I’m happier.
I listen to old ladies at the supermarket from across the aisle
I usually find it one way or another because I can count on people I know to talk about it, though I never seek it out.
I have also stopped seeking news, knowing that I’ll likely hear all I need to know on the grapevine, and that I can look an article up if I need more context.
Here lol
The consensus I’ve learned is to read, read, read.
Try to be as careful as you can with sources and facts and reliable verified journalists.
Then read a whole bunch more.
Question your sources, question what you’re reading and question yourself.
Then draw your own conclusions from the information you’ve read. You may get it wrong but realize that no one ever fully gets it right.
The only restriction I place is that whatever it is one concludes is that it is kind, does not hate, does not endorse war, does not endorse killing. If something or someone is wanting you to feel hate, anger or fear, then you will know that you are moving away from facts.
As long as you work your hardest to stay informed, you will be more informed than most people.
As long as you’re trying, you’re doing better than the average person.

RSS feeds of multiple news sources I gathered over time.
I check out Ground News sometimes. It compiles and groups news stories and you can swipe through how the story is presented from different outlets and shows whether they lean left, right, or center. I don’t really agree with the political leanings all the time, but it’s nice to see that caveat and compare how the same story gets framed differently. There are interesting features for paid subscription, but I use the free one and it’s fine enough for me.
What A Day is a short daily podcast that’s easy to put on during your morning shit.
Some More News and their podcast Even More News especially are informative and entertaining. They’re interesting because they’re actually leftist and not CNN leftist, which is really just center-right and less authoritarian than far right outlets.
Somebody else already mentioned First Thought. Their videos are short but it’s because they don’t waste your time. They seem to generally have more of a global focus than other stuff I find on YouTube, so I find it’s most unique and valuable for that aspect.
Tangential: I bought a paper newspaper recently. It cost $2 for a weekday paper. I remember when that was $0.25 and the Sunday paper was $2.
a dime, and 50c on sundays when i was a kid; and sunday papers had stacks of coupons and fliers from stores with actual sales in them. mom sometimes sent me to get extra sunday papers when the coupons were especially good.

It’s great but hard on the old heartstrings.
lemmy, ycombinator, arstechnica in that order. I prefer news aggregators over individual sites.
