I'm much more interested in actively filtering it than cutting it. Think yahoo pipes except DIY and more sophisticated. That'll take time to build though.
In the near term I've found that asking an LLM with search/deep research to summarize news helps. Obviously zero shielding from bias, but at least its concise & all in one place
There is also kagi and newsminimalist for out of the box semi-filtered:

- johnnyanmac 1y agoI'd rather just drink from the hose directly, personally. I've been doing an "anti-pomodoro" timer, myself. Set 30 or 60 minutes, and just scroll around as I usually do. aggregators (including here on the rare occasion a post isn't flagged), various news feeds, etc. when the timer ends, I get out of the hypnosis and move on to whatever the day needs. I think being anxious in these times is important. But the anxiety has middling returns. I want to do more, but I know spending hours worrying over stuff I can't control is futile.
