Ruth Mottram Lifehack: instead of checking social media first thing in the morning in our poly crisis world, I signed up for the @financialtimes.com Europe Express newsletter, it's often quite witty + they give you the essentials of the news cycle without invoking that old "oh god what now" dread.
For the Danish angle I also usually cast an eye (or an ear) over #Zetland's morgenoverblik and often DR's #genstart.
The blend of "legacy" and new media is quite satisfying
