    I don't watch TV or follow social media. I'm not interested about politics or the so-called mainstream news.

    I follow the tech feed of all main news sites in my country (in native language), + TechCrunch and the TheNextWeb. This way I will know about daily tech related news. I also read HN daily, which is for... all of us know. :)

    From the professional side (I'm a frontend developer) I read articles found going through the Cooperpress newsletters. I can keep up with the latest trends this way.

    Kind of expected to see real specifics here given it's hacker news. Perhaps people sharing links to opml to share, and commentary in the comments here.

    Is there any kind of showcase sites where you can show publicly opml feeds these days? I used to love netvibes, pageflakes and myyahoo - it's been so long I can't remember if there was/is a "make these blocks public" setting.

    I sketched up some ideas for making a myspace like social for individuals with blocks of rss for their home dashboard, I think some of this functionality is now available with some buddypress blocks.

    I wish browser discovery of rss was more prominent, and sites would make the feeds easier to see / find.

    It's almost all writing blogs. Either famous authors or blogs / websites about writing. As an aspiring author I want to learn all I can from the professionals.

    I also have web comics

    My RSS feed basically acts as my newspaper. I have feeds from the local papers, lots of sports news, tech news, news for my hobbies, etc.

    find a few blogs you like and go through their blog rolls. slate star codex is a great place to start if you’re anything like me, but maybe you arent. blogs link each other, and periodically you’ll find new blogs through other channels like your social media feeds. your feed will grow organically.

    Mostly webcomics, but also slatestarcodex, the comments page on the agent foundation forum, the miegakure blog, a variety of other blogs that update infrequently
