Few newsletter I would suggest. Just free available articles alone are enough:
• Noah Smith’s NoahOpinion for economic commentary. (The Economist can be depressing)
• Robinhood Snacks for tech/us-economy based news (they make even depressing earnings call palatable.
• Finshots for desi economic explanations (not depressing at all)
• Alexey Guzey Best of Twitter for science / biology
• Future by a16z, for all possibilities that could. A bit of self boosting but optimists do make things possible
• James Clear for motivation
• Any banking marketing emails for feeling rich as money is just a signup away
