    From our other interactions, I’m going to suggest:

    Cracking the Cryptic … it can be oddly satisfying to watch them solve a puzzle.

    Anton Petrov for space news.

    If you’re not familiar with Sabine Hossenfelder, I’d be very surprised, but she’s great for wider physics.

    Robert Reich is doing some great things these days. The Saturday Coffee Klatsch is a must-watch for me, even if it gets a little predictable.

    Beau of the Fifth Column, whom I’m aware from an earlier post is not highly regarded, burned out, and his wife has continued the channel. Rarely more then 5 minutes, and there’s never footage, just the news and quality analysis.

    I’m getting somewhat tired of Bryan Tyler Cohen’s clickbait bullshit, but his panelists can be helpful in unpacking news.

    Hope these are somewhat helpful!

      Wow, that is surprising to hear. I bounced off him when I started seeing him just talking about stuff I’d already seen Twitter as though it was insider information, and prognosticating on things that were clearly outside his wheelhouse. I’ll check out the channel again and see how his wife is running it.

        Burnout is real, and it shows up well ahead of when we think it does ourselves. I frankly find it impressive and respectable that he was like, “well, I’m not doing what I used to, and I don’t know how to get back there, so I have a single option.” And that his wife believed enough in the work to just pick it up where he left off.

        ETA: here’s his final post
