I’ve recently been going through a poltical quiz phase. I enjoy https://politicalcompass.org/test/en) the classic, https://8values.github.io/ (my favourite, that has improved slightly in the las two years… and I think will continue improving), and then just for fun: leftvalues and rightvalues.

Bonus: A similarly written personality test that also factors into things like Harry Potter house was good fun: https://github.com/InteresTHINGS-ygt/PersonalityValues (you’ll have to download this one and run it locally)

An enjoyable northern-european post apocalyptic comic I’ve found somewhat topical: https://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php
