If you already have a prepared list then fair enough, but what are you personally doing to take part in the healing of society that consuming mainstream news media helps with? The person you're replying to hasn't said they live as a hermit and don't engage in any part of their local society.

I fully agree that it all seems fucked and there is no point in following anything other than specific tech stuff I'm interested in. Anything else actually important someone else in my life will probably mention it to me. Or the explosion will vaporise me and knowing it's coming won't have helped much.

I'm not necessarily advocating for "consuming mainstream news," more for "not unplugging from discourse." Those can go together, but they don't have to. We still have a responsibility to know what's going on in the world even if we reject certain means of receiving that information.
