What do you all check instead of the news? (lemmy.ml)

I've realized that I check the news several times a day but not because I'm curious about what's happening on the grand scheme of things, but because my brain wants to check something that keeps changing with new, evolving information. It fills a slightly different niche than social media, and I don't watch sports so I don't have that to check. Can anyone think of something else that could fill this need? I could read blogs but they just don't feel current. And the news is making be stress about information I didn't need to know.

I like watching well-done cinematic synopses of characters or storylines. Watched only AFTER having seen the series.

Here's one for Altered Carbon S01. Very BladeRunner, very neo-noir, 80s meets 20s. Here's one for the Expanse, story focused, 2 movements, so compassion-inducing

Both are by this creator.

Two of my top ten shows right now. I think I'm going to go finish DEVS right now.

I liked Devs. It had a dope concept. That show didn't get much buzz.
