Fetlife if you’re kinky. You gotta use it to find local events with fellow kinky people, meet up, vet each other. Etc etc.

I was doubtful right leaning media cared, but quite clearly it’s being heavily covered by such media.

I feel you.

I collected competing websites that measure bias, reliability, and fact checking. Then I used them to narrow down my sources to the most reliable and centerline. My collection of sites and info (check the menu for more related resources) https://www.mediabiasmap.com

Short and sweet summary?

  1. Read one of the news wires for general world and national knowledge (AFP, Reuters, AP, UPI, etc).
  2. Read investigative local news for local stuff.
  3. Read the news 3 times per week (kinda like a scheduled workout). This can help limit the doom scrolling.

Personally I like AP for general awareness, RollCall for US congressional stuff, and my city’s paper for local news.
