Interesting, thanks for sharing. I stopped watching and listening to the news about 3 years ago and found that it greatly improved my mental health. When I read humankind by Rutger Bregman, he talked about the same thing, the news cycles are doing nothing good for you, they're just pumping all the bad news from around the world straight into your brain, and who can cope with that and not be impacted?
Another suggestions: I like Semafor.com for their newsletters (that I subscribe to as RSS via Kill the Newsletter, also selfhostable) because they give this high level executive overview instead, usually with a tiny bit of humor inserted in their image-tag line. It’s mostly not too US centric (and obviously their Africa newsletter is not at all). You don’t usually get bogged down in stuff, while still being able to keep up with what is happening.
It looks really good, thanks for the recommendation!
Humanities & Cultures
Human society and cultural news, studies, and other things of that nature. From linguistics to philosophy to religion to anthropology, if it's an academic discipline you can most likely put it here.
