Almost all news is off-topic for your life. A good question to ask: does this have any impact on my life? If you are unsure or the answer is no: skip that news.

Not a good heuristic for me as it would make me skip most of the science stuff. For example the Webb space telescope. It certainly won't have any impact of my life.
