I love RSS for this. I go to one RSS aggregator that I self-host (trivial, via FreshRSS [1]) that has subscriptions to things like:
Fun: comics, pictures, APOD, some hobby reddit threads (fun fact: reddit presents pretty much anything including search queries as RSS if you append .rss)
Journals: professional journals in my field
Local: Neighborhood blogs, local news, utility company blog, local police crime notes, weather blogs, etc. (all have RSS feeds)
Industry: industry news from various podcasts, institutional blogs, regulator blogs, other subreddits reddits
Global news: RSS feeds from my local big city newspaper
Software news: Cloudflare status reports, release note blogs from my favorite softwares
Work: rss feeds from github on some work repos.
Then I come to HN and Twitter directly as well... (shame)
