    I got a lot of my news and events from Reddit, too, and Twitter. It’s been a rough few months!

    I’ve been trying to diversify a bit and now I:

    1. Buy The New European, and Private Eye papers
    2. Use the BBC News app for breaking news alerts
    3. Watch the news on TV (BBC, Channel 4)
    4. Subscribed to podcasts and listen on walks
    5. Subscribed to Popbitch

    The suggestion I saw in these comments about the Wikipedia current events portal was neat. I’ve bookmarked that for checking in

    My suggestion that I am adding to this thread is Popbitch. It’s only really relevant for British people I’d think but it’s a newsletter to your inbox with events around politicians (and other stuff): https://popbitch.com/

    I’m a sysadmin and write a lot in PowerShell in work. I write lots of little scripts but the ongoing project is a ‘toolkit’ for the Service Desk. It’s a GUI that allows them do a number of actions like creating a new Outlook profile, refreshing Teams, a bunch of SCCM client actions, as well as password resets, reading DC logs to find the source workstation of lockouts etc. Good little time saver and it’s helped develop my skills, too
