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.
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.
