What types of materials do you consume, browse, or listen to on a daily basis? These could include media, news briefs, books, or posts in various online communities.
 
These days I rarely listen to any music, I prefer quiet, that's ever since I lived in the bush. Ever since I was a kid I was always an avid reader of fantasy fiction novels and series.

On a daily basis, several times a day in fact, I check on several different news servers around the world and keep up with current world events. One of my life time special interests: anthropology, sociology, political science and law. They're all the one topic to me.

I don't do social media. I don't do chat. I don't play games online although I spend the majority of my time playing games. This forum is the only online social interaction that I have. I found the internet in general to be a particularly nasty and unfriendly place, if I feel like socialising I'll go to the pub.
 
I read three (mainstream) news feeds every day. I read portions from at least 3 different books each day. The TV will be on for a while in the evenings - mostly my family chooses what is on - I may be reading at the same time. (Like now ;)) I am not on any (other) social media. I will listen to (Australian) ABC Radio National when I am driving.
 
Mostly the only thing I look at is Reddit. I do visit Facebook a bit but that's because several of my older relatives are on there. I'll watch some Youtube videos when I'm trying to get to sleep - mostly ASMR ones. And then there's this site.
 
1. autismforums.com
2. Ground News app
3. Local News TV
4. YouTube for special interests videos...rockhounding locations, orchids, bonsai, gardening, botany, animals and nature, AI, robotics, medical interests, home construction and design, travel destinations,...
5. The wife and I like to watch various TV series on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, etc. We typically only have an hour or so of free time between getting home from work and going to bed, so its a nice filler, allowing us to just chill for a while. Currently, we are watching the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov...reviewing seasons 1 & 2 before diving into season 3.

Read all the books. (Love SF.) Lost track of where I am in the series (think I’ve seen at least seasons 1 & 2) but will end up watching all of them.
 
i have a loop of playing games, and then watching videos about them, i don't spoil them with videos, but after i played enough i watch. Also videos about current events, i try to avoid mainstream media, they are too biased and hide and show and twist news based on their political views.
