DW and Al Jazeera are tremendous networks, particularly if you keep in mind the few biases they do have; DW won't criticize Israel, and Al Jaz won't criticize Dubai and Qatar. But outside of that, they have tremendous programs and report on news that US channels won't touch.
Text based news are so important too, Reuters and the absolute GOAT, AP News. For those who don't know, AP is generally the first, at least major outlet, to report on any significant news stories. Literally every other outlet depends on AP as a central source of the bulk of their major news.
I'm one of those people that's been obsessively checking my various news sources throughout the day, for years. It's a very easy habit to begin and to maintain, and it has a tremendous impact on your understanding of the world we live in. Always use a skeptical, discerning perspective, but this is like the filter for the coffee grounds or tea leaves of information.

🗞independent journalists are great, usually via substack or bluesky - a few i follow include: Talia Jane, Dr. Lucky Tran, Ken Klippenstein, Marisa Kabas, Spencer Ackerman, Kat Tenbarge, Kim Kelly, Law Dork. just be sure to read more than one source (though that is standard advice for reading any news lol).
i also admittedly (as a leftist!) mostly read/listen to things that i think are perceived as left-friendly - Democracy Now, Al Jazeera, and Hellgate for news; outlets like In These Times, The Flytrap, ProPublica, Intercept, Verge, Rolling Stones and Teen Vogue etc. for analyses and exclusives
mainstream outlets like the AP can be O.K., i read them usually for developing/live situations as they tend to be kept really up to date more than smaller outlets, but i also take MSM with a grain of salt because they recently all had terrible language and bias against Palestinians the last two years (article) and trans people too
& always avoid the new york times as much as possible! archive.ph is your friend

Also runs a substack: https://aridrennen.substack.com/ ---- ***note: I chose news based on how reliable and biased I view these outlets or podcasts after 5+ years professionally watching and researching the news and politics. I chose outlets that are generally reliable, unbiased, or had a pro-democracy bias. Podcasts were given more leeway since most podcasts are entertainment AND news. By reliable, I considered whether reports are factual and whether the writing was high quality (Generally free from typos/grammatical errors, not written by AI, etc). I also considered outlets' reputation among journalists (Have they had any scandals? If yes, how did they take accountability for said scandal? Have they won awards? Which awards? Do reputable journalists recommend them? ). For bias, I considered whether outlets have a tendency to a) editorialize reports and b) privilege anti-democratic perspectives. I also considered global and historical context. While "ranking" sites like allsides or ground news may say x outlet is very left wing, how would a comparable democracy view this outlet.

⭐Put some flour in a bowl, enough that it looks like just a bit less than how much bread you want. Throw in some salt and any other spices you want, mix it up. I've said before but I pretty much always use white whole wheat flour. That way you've got the nutritional benefits of whole grains without the somewhat overpowering flavor.
Add a bit of yogurt and/or sour cream (remember, it's always easier to add more to something than to take it out. Err on the side of not enough yogurt so you can add more if needed). In theory, it should be about equal weights of flour and yogurt, but don't take it too seriously.
Mix together; I like to use a rubber spatula and smear the mix down and around the bowl, folding it over itself to combine. You want your dough to be pretty thick, not very wet at all.
Melt a tiny bit of butter and some oil in a pan. Either shape the naan and place it in the oil on medium heat, or do what I do and put the dough in the pan as a lump, then spread it out to shape in the pan. You don't want it to be too thick or the inside won't cook, I'd say no thicker than your thumb.
Cook until it's nicely browned, and devour. Super simple, super quick, delicious.
So that's: 1: mix flour, salt, and desired spices. 2: add approximately equal weight yogurt or sour cream, combine thoroughly. 3: pan fry on medium to medium high heat.

⭐I love changing outfits like 3 or even 4 times in a day. Decently cute but lazy fit for morning, makeup and a quality look for midday, change either into another good fit ~to be seen in~ or something cute, funny and comfy to stay home in. Not to mention workout clothes.
Clothes are wonderful, fashion is wonderful, your body is a canvas and clothing is puffy paint. It's so freaking fun and simple.

🍴You know this recipe because I feed it to you, but I'm gonna write it out anyway for all the tiny people inside my phone;
I make my own remoulade with a homemade olivey mayonnaise base, to which I add lime juice, Worcestershire, fancy mustard, some good plain hot sauce like Cholula, Old Bay, some extra paprika and cayenne, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and ideally fresh shallots. I think that's all I put in, not sure right now.
Get some crab, cheap shit is fine, and toss it in a bit of the remoulade. Heat up some olive oil on the stove, I have no idea how high I set the flame.
Crumple up a bunch of saltines and mix them with some spices (feels like cheating, I prefer everything to be as homemade as possible, but whatever). If you used too much sauce with the crab, thicken it up with some of the saltine crumbs.
Shape up some tiny little adorable macaroon patties of the sauce-ed crab, chuck em in the crumbs and shape it up. Fry the bitches.
Serve with fresh lime to squeeze, more of the remoulade to dip. I like some clean greens as a bed for the cakes and as extra material to dip in the absolutely banging remoulade. Sweet potato fries (I don't gotta tell you what to dip these in do I?) and as much fruit as you can possibly cut up (do not be dipping the fruits, please.) make a lovely side.
