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

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.
