In the past I have used Reddit and Twitter as my main news aggregators, but obviously those are going down the toilet. What are some good places to go to get some good news? (aside from here of course!)

    It’s lagging behind and more entertaining than “real news” options, but Some More News on YouTube is good to check out occasionally. They have a podcast too which is basically just people hanging out for the first 20 minutes and then like 30 minutes of headlines followed by thoughtful commentary and context. Still barely qualifies as news, but it’s an entertaining way to strike a balance to be neither uninformed nor overwhelmed and anxious.

    Before the writers’ strike, Jon Stewart was doing some good work on his show.

    I was into David Pakman a couple years ago, but he started rubbing me the wrong way, but idk you might be into what he has to offer. I can’t really articulate it, he’s just kinda annoying to me. But I had him on my TV live during the January 6 terrorist attack and he did a great job with it.
