    I thought this was going to be a thread announcing your pregnancy.

    I get my news from Twitter!

    Nah, I was planning on posting that shortly after you post the thread about how Tony proposed to you.

    Speaking of news, I need to see what happened on the debates...

    I despise mainstream TV news and almost never watch it. I don't care for trying to plunge through mainstream media websites every day to find noteworthy things. I get most of my news from blogs or link aggregates. Or even Facebook, as my newsfeed turns into a political news aggregate every time something big happens, which is a consequence of knowing people in law school.

    Sites I check regularly:

    Fark (news aggregate -- great for humor and quick news updates)
    The Agitator (criminal justice/political news)
    Pharyngula (science and skepticism news)
    Above the Law (legal news)
    SCOTUSblog (legal news)
    Kissing Suzy Kolber (football humor/"news")

    EDIT:

    I think you forget: I'm from the future. Little Poncho is adorable but he appears to have Julian's ears.............

    PS Miriel and Del's wedding was incredible but I had to watch from a nearby tree because there's a restraining order on me

    I read the Metro (a good free newspaper you get on buses etc) that fills me in on all the various political and social issues going on throughout the world. I tend to ignore the ones surrounding murders and rapes and violent crime purely because I find it annoying reading in depth about things which are depressing and yet never stop happening. Politics and disasters are things I always read about, and I read about half the sport, all the 'weird', about half the celebrity/music/TV stuff (depending on who/what it is) and various other things. Basically I read everything that isn't yet another rape/murder/stabbing in the streets of a random city.

    I watch a bit of CNN and BBC when there is a big story going on such as the earthquake in Japan or the elections. I watch Sky Sports News when something big happens in the sporting world that I'm interested in, such as transfer deadline day or something.

    I'm surprised at the lack of redditors in this thread, given the disproportionate libertarian contingent round these parts. It's a good thing though.

    I only read BBC Sport really, any real news gets sent to my phone and I have no idea how that happens. My hobby these days is visiting the Daily Mail website and having a look at the e they're currently serving up, then if I'm feeling particularly masochistic, I read the comments.


    there was a picture here

    For some reason I forgot websites. BBC Sport, ManUtd.com, football365.co.uk, BBC News, Yahoo! on occasion and the odd gaming website.
