I use FreshRSS pretty heavily and source my feeds from threads like these over the years. Almost exclusively written articles since it's just time efficient. I don't pay attention to any political video news, streamers, or podcasts. I'd like to say it's quite diverse. My Canadian news feeds lately I've removed USA owned sources entirely. It's basically enemy state media and it weirds me out how comfortable Canadians still are reading shit owned by Republicans directly or indirectly. Including the Canada communities here. Ew.

When I want to go outside I actually use email heavily still. I have aliases which sort into dedicated folders for promotion and newsletters. Then I see all the concerts, stage shows, festivals, events, theater schedules, big name comedians, dive bar comedians, whatever happenings etc etc local to me. I hoover up all the sources I can for that.

Aggregator fediverse here is how I blow idle time at work, which is most of my work day so I post a lot on the clock. Like right now! Haha. I love aggregators for tech hobbies especially because people share smaller projects I'd otherwise never hear about be it fun or useful.

Youtube/Twitch subs are all nerd shit and variety streams. A few artists mixed in like Peter Draws.

I still regularly visit SomethingAwful forums, pick up more info there and then less visted stuff from my labyrinthine web browser bookmarks nested folders built up over decades.

CKUA is our local public donor supported radio station. That's the only radio channel I listen to and there's no political segments. I pick up a lot of new music and poetry from here and gush about The Road Home.
