Just stop watching the news. Read it from a newspaper instead. Life is better that way.

Newspapers aren’t much better, unfortunately. Any outrage and emotions simply becomes emotional prose.

That’s because you have inner monologue instead of actual sound.

I only consume Q drops - that’s the real news, everything else is a show

likefunny

Is Q still dropping anything?

All news is propaganda.

like

Unironically yes. I have a close buddy who is Russian, and he said, “All news in some form is propaganda. And if you think you’re immune to it or above it, I guarantee someone writes something specifically targeting people like you.”

like

100% agree. Deleted all news feeds in 2019 and only consume news on WSJ, NYT, and WaPo for balanced right/left/center reporting. Did wonders for my headspace.

like

Most anything right of WSJ at this point is nonsense. National Review used to be decent-ish, but they’ve gone a bit loony since David French left.

like

Cable news from any political standpoint is toxic. Many local news affiliates are as well (e.g., ones owned by Sinclair).

Read a variety of reliable sources, ideally including the wire services, and mostly avoid the opinion sections.

Axios is the 🐐 for news

All cable news is 🗑 designed to maximize polarization and emotional outrage

That is fair and I agree with most of what you said here. I mostly trust WSJ and industry-specific publications myself, don’t have much more to recommend there unfortunately

If you’re taking your news from a newspaper or online article, ensure it’s not an opinion piece. If it is an opinion piece, look for citations from reputable sources to back up any claim and that the person giving their opinion is an expert in their field.

For further sanity mute Elon Musk on Twitter.

News channels are fun. Can’t go without them for more than a week.

What is a newspaper?

It's what people of olden days used to line their bird cages and dog pens with to make clean up easier.

CNN

I still like The Economist. Very deep analysis and detailed articles. Also very clear what is an opinion piece.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
