Read what shipped.

Read news without getting played

A short list for staying clear when information is loud.

0 of 5 done

• Find the primary source

  Click through to the original document, paper, or commit — not just the headline.

• Check the date and revision

  News ages poorly; corrections and updates matter as much as the first take.

• Separate ship notes from speculation

  What launched is a fact. What it means is an opinion — label them differently.

• Ignore engagement bait

  If the point is outrage or FOMO, the signal-to-noise ratio is already bad.

• Prefer ad-free, transparent outlets

  Business models shape coverage. Prefer sources that declare incentives.
