Ars Technica, I've been there since 2002 and I pay for premium most of the time.

The commenters on Ars hate Elon Musk but love SpaceX. The conflict can be "interesting" at times.

That sounds rather similar to the prevailing attitudes here and it seems fairly understandable.

I just run a locally containerised rss feed aggregator and have my own news feed.

For casual browsing and deeper reads I find myself going here: https://marginalrevolution.com/ https://restofworld.org/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ https://pudding.cool/ https://www.nytimes.com/timeswire
