| Lots of links Posting article links: SubStack Medium Booksie Blogger Tribel Mastodon |
The first three links I click on every morning are the ones for my email followed by HUFFPOST to see their lead headline and then I go to Raw Story to see the breaking news stories and opinion articles they posted during the morning. I subscribe to Raw Story+ which is where most of their opinion essays are posted.

| Raw Story has an excellent comments section with allows you to upload images and format what you post on it. |
Raw Story is the go-to website to read summaries of articles on subscription websites like Newsweek Time, the Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and others that either allow a few free article a month or require a subscription to read any articles that they publish.
The next sites I check are the subscription websites which I pay for: The New York Times and The Washington Post.
I then check my two local TV station websites KOIN and KGW.
Then I usually go to Salon.
I have Morning Joe on TV all this time. Between what they cover and what I read I usually come up with an idea for a topic to write about on this blog.
At some point I check my Facebook page to see if anyone sent me a comment. I also look at my Mastodon page. Reluctantly I still use Twitter promote to my blog.

Another option is to create a Google News alert. This lets you receive emails about your favorite topics. Google searches the internet for any topic you choose and updates you in real-time.
Washington Post (subscription).
The New York Times (subscription)
The Bulwark (never Trump conservative site)
The Sidney Morning Herald is Australia's equivalent of The NY Times (free, requires registration)
I probably should look at Al Jazeera more than I do. The same goes for Haaretz.
Infrequently I check Fox News to see who they are covering, or not covering a story I am interested in.
I don't click on the Daily Beast since they now require a subscription. I count on Raw Story to summarize their articles.
If I want to search the Web I use DuckDuckGo for links and images. I also use Google Images. Unlike Google and other search engines DuckDuckGo doesn't store your personal info. They don't follow you around with ads. They don't track you. Bing often outperforms Google.
I use images for my blog, often manipulating them to convey a message. If I want to find the source of an image someone else posts I can do this by copying it onto my desktop and then searching it on the various image search websites. For some images Bing Image search works better than Google.
I just discovered a website that has links to all the search engines here.
Other websites on my bookmark list are:
