I only realized in the past year or so that much news isn’t that helpful to consume. And this from somebody who gets most news from a print Economist weekly. On reflection, many stories go like “here are some things that happened, it’s about the same thing that’s been happening in this story for five months, it’s not yet clear how important recent developments are”.

Unfortunately, many conflicts fall under this umbrella.

Maybe there is some value to repeatedly pushing these things to the front of my consciousness —- rather than, say, checking in every few months —- but I can’t see what it is.
