My wrists are too thin to be able to hold up the New York Times Sunday edition.
I'm a liberal.
I'm an incel.
My wrists are thin,
And my dick is small.
This is the straight-gay life.
Beggin' for a wife.
Feels bad to be a liberal.
Is this better or worse than being a thicc wristed Trot who trains pamphlets all day
Hell yeah, let's give it up for the newscels
Some of you need to cough it up and reveal the news goods, because every now and again I come across one of you lovable dorks that can tell me every recently elected member of some remote 150-pop hamlet's Liberation Party, their star sign, and their policy positions. Hand over the news sources 
I’ma media anthropologist
Literally 72trillion
News now is just voyeuristic ragebait to increase ad revenue. I just skim headlines on lemmy tbh
can't argue with that tbh
hexbear.net
[email protected] mega
But also I have a shit load of rss feeds I have slowly collected. There is no one site to go to tho, you gotta sift through the shit
here, nerd.
hexbear, local stuff from local outlets via rss and email, plus secondhand
My RSS feed has the following:
The Intercept
Jacobin
Seymour Hersch
Ars Technica
EFF Deeplinks
It's Going Down
Foreign Policy (lib)
The Economist's The World This Week (lib)
My local paper (lib)
I hate scroll NY Times and hate watch MSNBC 50-60 hours a day.
hexbear and twitter communists are my legit main sources of news
astral projection
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.
Chapo.chat
Russian telegram (Russian news and analysis)
Private Weixin/QQ group chats (Chinese news and analysis beyond state censorship)
Naked Capitalism (general finance/economics - the only website that Michael Hudson reads daily, and so I simply follow what he does)
Status Coup (US labor news)
That’s probably enough material for the day. For everything else, I rely on the Hexbear news megathread.
Same problem here tbh. I don't want to watch youtube videos or listen to podcasts. Can I just get some socialist newsletter delivered to my inbox daily/weekly?
Yes, exactly. that would be perfect!
Tiktok, here, and the podcasts Chapo Trap House and Trashfuture
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.
I watch mainstream news every 2-3 days. Just the daily news in my country for 15min besides that -this place. Also first thought on youtube does leftist news in 6mins every 2nd day.
telesur english
From Mercury mostly
Bonus points if it has an RSS feed
boomer status confirmed
If it affects you, you will hear about it anyway. All other interesting news happened decades ago. Unplug from the torment nexus
I like peoplesworld when I remember it exists.
What languages do you speak?
Tbh I get a fair amount from here and my leftist online friends. I do fairly frequently check up on lib news just to see what they're up to though. I do have a few others I check sometimes too, and I like to try and get my different world news from different places than just the US (even if it's often still kinda lib). Like I speak French and can understand Spanish well enough to read the news so for places where those are spoken I'm going to look more at sources in those languages. In terms of specific sources, Kawsachun News/Kawsachun Coca (Spanish version, doesn't have exactly the same articles as the English) are generally leftist and I think decent for Latin American stuff mostly (and Bolivia since that's where they're located)
FT, Jacobin, mike from Pa on twitch, here
