> There is some genuine good and encouraging news in there too

I know, right?!

FWIW, it wasn’t my list, it’s just a list, and there are others. There are plenty of bad things to find, when you’re looking for it. (And, ahem, vice-versa.) Wallowing on the bad things, things which you and I both have almost zero first-hand knowledge or experience of, is a pointless and depressing waste of time. Let’s control the things we can, and make the things we control better!

A lot of capitalist interests want us docile, and they spend time designing the news and social media to keep you engaged and dependent on full time consumption. They don’t care if you’re happy or depressed, as long as you stay unmotivated to challenge them, and keep purchasing Xanax and video games. Don’t be a tool of the news outlets, go find some good news, and if you really truly can’t find any, then make some! (But I already know you can find good news, if you take the time to look.)
