I’ve been doing the same. The issue is finding high quality feeds with full articles. Most are just a snippet of the article with a link saying “read the full story at…” (The Verge, PBS, The Guardian). Others are even worse and just link directly to the shit-laden website (Ars Technica). The best quality news feeds I’ve found are Techdirt and The Intercept. Would you care to share some good RSS news feeds you’ve found?
You’re absolutely correct that albums used to be released on Tuesdays in the US. This changed in 2015 when Global Release Day was created. Let’s just blame Beyoncé for the traffic fatalities. 😂
I’ve definitely noticed crazier driving on Fridays (which is the day most albums are released). I think the author is confusing correlation and causation. The real reasons for increased speeding, reckless operation, distracted driving, etc. on Fridays is more likely due to payday, making plans with friends, and overall excitement for the weekend. Just 2 cents. But, sure… who doesn’t hit the accelerator a bit more when their favorite artist drops an album?
Okay, that’s very cool. I’m into self-hosting and will look into running FreshRSS to parse sites and feed me articles. Much appreciated!
