Yeah, I assumed the Twitter part was a joke. I can’t imagine a better way to feel horrible than Twitter. It’s definitely a platform for generating heat and very little light.
As for the news, I can understand the notion of a diet. I try and catch at least some of the PBS Newshour each day. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to unsensational, non-editorialized, old-fashioned reporting. If I’m pressed for time, I catch the news summary.
Truthfully, I consume a bit more reporting than just that, but when I start feeling overwhelmed, the PBS Newshour is my diet.
I actually have to disagree. I think it really depends on who you follow. For a long time I didn't use twitter at all, but I've recently become active.
The hardware hacker community (think Hackaday types) on Twitter is pretty awesome and a lot of fun to follow.
Stuff like the below comes through all the time, and the discussions with people making things are great.
