Thought of a couple more. Unexplainable podcast from Vox has a lot of really interesting tech stuff & futurism. Not as much news as conceptual explorations.
I've always liked Ezra Klien's podcast too. A lot of the episodes are just politics & societal stuff but he does a lot of episodes on tech & automation and it's impact on humanity. A lot of AI-related content lately.

At this point, only if it is required, and it almost never is. No bad feelings at all towards people who do wear them. I'm not personally concerned about it, and nobody in my family is high risk, so I decided early on that I'd just follow local rules and CDC guidelines. CDC website currently only recommends masks if you may have been exposed so that's what I've been doing.
I'm kind of enjoying the smaller community size. Unlike reddit where I'd come across a post that I have something interesting to say about and see there are already 27,481 comments.
