Recommend news sources that aren't focused on politics?

Time to get some good - or at least interesting - news all up in here.

With nothing headed in the right direction politically and on so many other levels, I'm going to try to break my addiction to my revolving doom scrolling sites I circle through obsessively. Hoping if I change my focus I can improve my outlook, lower my anxiety.

Suggestions?

Throw out the politics section. Turning off all cable news lowered my anxiety. Network news , PBS, and here, are my go too places for real news. Cable Opinion and questions are not news.

Also, Smithsonian.

I feel like this would be a good time to review human and natural history, get a handle on where we've been to help figure out where we are going...
