Sure.

From Dev site its a simple LAMP stack with CodeIgniter simply because its pleasure to work with and its just fun. If the site would ever get serious traffic I would simply plug Cloudflare and wouldn't worry about optimizing my simple PHP code.

In terms of articles, I'm using inoreader.com with feeds related to News, both US + World. Inoreader lets me download articles via JSON, then I search through them and decide which one to publish. Sometimes I alter headlines, but not to drive an agenda, but rather to feed the narrative, like if first article is about Trump, second one doesn't need to have his name in the title anymore; you can simply follow without mentioning his name.

Example re: National Archives:

- National Archives exhibit blurs images critical of President Trump...

- Forced to apologize for blurring anti-Trump rally signs...

So second article doesn't need the National Archives being mentioned.

What I like about the aspect of a site like this, and especially the process of curation (I believe Drudge does the same), has to do with the headline writing. This has got to be one of the better practices of becoming a better headline writer I've seen other than actually writing professional ads.

For copywriters, this practice is invaluable.
